His potential is clearly Skywalker- or Durron-class, which just takes away completely from the significance of Vader's condition to Sidious, who had believed that he might spend the rest of his life searching for a single individual with even half of his own power. And here, two years later, you have a kid with arguably three times that figure in potential. It's absurd.

You can relax mate. Remember, if it is EU, it never really happened.
Hahaha.

Which is my only complaint with it.

Makes sense. But really, a story focused around a Zayne-esque character would be more intriguing to me than another tale of a Force god.
You have to read the novel and comic. Starkiller has the shit kicked out of him multiple times and is nearly beaten multiple times. He doesn't steamroll over everyone.
I have questioned that as well. The truth to the matter is that much of Star Wars and the ideas incorporated into it by George Lucas are very minimalistic in nature. For example, through exposition and narrative in the very novelizations of the movies, you are to be in awe of the saga's scale. Return of the Jedi, for example, mentions how the Rebel fleet at the Battle of Endor was so massive that it extended beyond the visible spectrum -- even though the movie depicted a handful of ships. Even more contradictory are the descriptions of the Imperial Navy, which is supposed to not only be the strongest naval organism in history, but the largest. Yet the movies do not display such. Anakin Skywalker does not demonstrate the power he is reputed to have.
So should that mean that he does not have it? No. Advent does a decent job of rationalizing Anakin's lackluster performance on enormously restricted knowledge. Still, that doesn't account for all of it. One simply must assume that the size of the respective fleets of the Imperial and Rebel Navy and the power of Anakin Skywalker aren't shown in proper scale because of a lack of budget or attention. As with old theater and movies, sometimes we as an audience are simply to put faith in the narrative and say, despite a lack of corresponding feats, Anakin Skywalker is still the shit.
I appreciate TFU because it makes attempts to put that scale into context.

But see, Anakin's 'feats,' or lack of therefore, made perfect sense in the sense that the PT established when one limited his/her viewings to the movies. The EU just tears it all apart.Meh. Whatever. I guess I'll have to watch/read/play it to get a real perspective on it.
YOU WILL LEARN OR YOU WILL DIE, PRETENDER.
The demo is out, and it's great.

I tried it, and it was good indeed. I was actually pleasantly surprised, as I was expecting sheer suckage with a pretty cover and good physics. I want to see how they cover the alternate endings and customization, though. JA had that down.
I <3 JA. The Imperial Remnant and Pellaeon own my heart.
