'This is Anakin Skywalker:
The most powerful Jedi of his generation. Perhaps of any generation. The fastest. The strongest. An unbeatable pilot. An unstoppable warrior. On the ground, in the air or sea or space, there is no one even close. He has not just power, not just skill, but dash: that rare, invaluable combination of boldness and grace.
He is the best there is at what he does. The best there has ever been. And he knows it.'
Thoughts? I could see a counter argument built around the 'of his generation' part personally.

Anakin's thoughts about himself. According to this...

Haha, as usual DS, you have such a sweet ass.No, it is a narration spelling out Yoda's thought process. It is not the narrator saying these things, it is th enarator telling the reader what [b]Yoda
is saying.The 'truth' is only relevent to Yoda's conclusion, that he couldn't beat Sidious. Everything else is fluff. [/B]

And it's pretty ****ing obvious he was by no means unstoppable, just ask Kenobi.

You're going to need something more compelling than 'no it isn't' because, right now, JT has you by your marbles.
It isn't spelling out anything about Anakin's thought process. It isn't describing any 'truth' that Anakin realised, it's just describing Anakin to the reader. Completely different.
And they're a bit bigger than marbles thank you very much.
And it's pretty ****ing obvious he was by no means unstoppable, just ask Kenobi.
Yeah, that parts obviously hyperbole.

Anakin's thoughts about himself.
Originally posted by Jinsoku TakaiAt that point in the movie/novel (the very beginning), Anakin was damn close to unstoppable by SW standards. Just ask Dooku. Oh wait, he dead. ohhh

N, by your own logic, that quote is as much his own self-thought as Yoda's "most devastingly powerful foe the darkness had ever known" is his (Yoda's) self-thought.
And the fact that there contained in said quote is, as you admit, hyperbole, severely tarnishes the credibility of the quote in the context that you wish to use it.
