"The strongest, the fastest" is tied to "the most powerful." So it would mean "the strongest [of his generation], the fastest [of his generation]. Perhaps of any generation."
And FYI, the "perhaps" makes it rather clear that this isn't an omniscient narrator. Other members here have established that several parts of the book use a third-person limited perspective.
Later Dooku descibed Anakin as a "Destroyer Droid with a Lightsaber. Impossibly Powerful." When was Mace ever described as being that Strong or Powerful?!
See below.
No ones getting excited.
Hence the double exclamation points and question marks.
Of course Anakin really wasnt the most powerful jedi. Yoda was clearly.
Then don't post statements indicating that he is as if they'll do something for your case.
But that statement added to Ki-Adi-Mundi and Plo Koon saying Anakin is the Jedi with the best chance of surving an encounter with a Sith Lord, shows that youll have to actually bring some proof that Mace was faster and Stronger than Anakin.
In
Shatterpoint, he lands six blows on Kar Vastor before the man can even
blink; Vastor being someone who Mace believed to have raw power on the level of Yoda and Anakin. He also manages to keep up with Darth Sidious long enough for Vaapad to take effect; Sidious being someone who was able to blitz three of the greatest swordsman the Order had ever produced, one of whom took down General Grievous
alone.So, faster.
In the battle of Dantooine, he punches holes through armored super battle droids. A sequence in Shatterpoint showed that his grip was strong enough to snap bone. Another sequence, taking place in the aforementioned brawl with Vastor, has he and Kar charging and slamming into each other so hard and fast that a.) they're suspended in the air for several seconds, fighting on the way down, and b.) they sent lightning through the jungle.
So, stronger.
Mace was a master of Juyo, which requires a "high-level mastery" of other forms. Before TPM, he had created, perfected, and mastered his own deviation of Juyo, Vaapad. As of TPM, even his apprentice had learned and mastered it to the point that Mace believed she had surpassed him. This being before he turns forty.
So, more skilled.
And controlled use of Force-power? In the new CWC, he pushes an AT-TE off of a cliff. In Shatterpoint, he nudges a tipping steamcrawler back into place while stabilizing several hundred tons of loose earth. On his back.
So, more powerful [in a controlled situation].
No ABC wont work. Especially since Dooku had a good chance of taking Anakin early in the fight, if not distracted by Obi1. But again its just adds to the fact that you will need to prove Mace is more Powerful.
See the above, although prior to this I'd never said Mace is more powerful.
Great reasoning. Oh wait, you didnt give any reasoning. Its simple logic. Anakin hadnt embraced the Dark Side. Maybe Half embraced it at most. But he was still clearly a user of the Light Side as well.
Prove it, and for Christ's sake stop taking things so literally. "Half Sith" doesn't
really mean "half Sith."
So Loop would be pretty moot against sum1 whose only Half embraced his Dark Side feelings. At most he was a Neutral Force User.
No. What you've either intentionally left out or somehow missed is that Dooku also noted that Anakin was holding himself back for fear of opening the "furnace" inside him; basically, for fear of succumbing to the dark side again, as he did with the Tuskens on Tatooine. When Anakin kills Dooku he is very clearly in the throes of the dark side, so assuming he manages to get there against Mace, Vaapad will kick into effect. And then it's game over.
