What percentage of his potential had Anakin reached by RotS?

I'd say less than 25%

Depends on whether you think FP Anakin = The Father = universe buster.

According to The Father, that's the case.

Since when was the Father a Universe buster?

Less then half.

67%

Maybe 50%

80%, according to some.

I wouldn't put a number on it, though, since they can't be quantified.

the way they talk about the Chosen One in the PT and the way Sidious is so confident that Anakin will greatly surpass he or Yoda id say he's probably halfway there; great in sabers but so much more to go in using the Force

That's quite fast, really, Anakin was still in his twenties. And people think Luke didn't even remotely reach his potential in his sixties.

AotC to RotS was a titanic leap matched only a few times in the mythos.

72.6%, yeah.

Very few characters actually reach the extent of their potential ever, let alone in their sixties, Nova. Anakin would also likely have never reached his potentially celestial-like power had he completed his training as a Jedi or Sith.

If full potential Anakin was what he did on Mortis. I'm speaking in terms of force potential. He's already very skilled in combat.

I'd say Sidious was reaching it by his eighties. Luke, by his sixties, wouldn't be too far off.

Sidious by Dark Empire was probably pretty close; 85-90% or so.

Luke? 60-65%, maybe.

Curious - what are you basing these figures on?

Guesstimates. If Luke was anywhere near as OP as Anakin, there's no way he ever came close to his maximum limit; using the rough model Lucas gave us, I'd say that figure is rather fair.

Palpatine, on the other hand? It's harder to say--but I think the idea that he couldn't have become much stronger than he was without a new genetic template is a reasonable one.

Interestingly, Vader thinks that Luke was already as strong as Anakin ever was.
