Anakin vs Vader (sabers only)

I'll reserve judgement till I see the quote.

I've posted it several them in this thread

Yes LOTS specifically mentions power in the Force. I'll get the quote later.

"Many years later, Obi-Wan and Darth Vader duel a second time. The Sith Lord is now more experienced and powerful." -Beware the Sith

"This is a fight you cannot win, Darth. Your power has matured since I taught you" -A New Hope

"He kept his eyes inward, seeking reflection in his own bottomless core. His power was great, now, greater than it had ever been." -Return of the Jedi

"He stared at his reflection a long time. His injuries had deformed his body, left it a ruin, but they’d perfected his spirit, strengthening his connection to the Force. Suffering had birthed insight." -Lords of the Sith

Want me to find more?

It's pretty simple guys, suited Vader > pre-suit Vader > Anakin, this is confirmed by Pablo and reinforced by LotS.

If you want to go by Legends-only (which has it's own contradictions) that's cool, but Vader still > the guy who pwned Dooku in Canon. 👆 🙂

Yep. That's how Disney Canon has said it is.

The denial is clearly strong with some people.

Yet most agree Rots Anakin beats Luke who crushed Vader.

"This is Vader in his prime. You've got to remember how far we've come from the character when he was Anakin, he has so buried the good person that he was. There's no reason for it to come out yet until he get's exposed to Luke." -- Pablo Hidalgo, Rebels Recon

That literally doesn't even prove your point. In fact, if anything this quote re-inforces the idea that Vader and Anakin are being discussed as almost separate individuals. Pablo has confirmed Rebels Vader > RotJ Vader, not Rebels Vader > RotS Anakin.

Yeah, and also that Rebels Vader > RotS Vader, who > Anakin. 👆

Anakin that slapped Dooku into a coma > Vader who killed little kids.

A nice sentiment, but wrong unfortunately. 🙂

"He knelt before Darth Sidious, adopting the mantle of Darth Vader. Tapping into the dark side, Anakin found his powers increasing."
