ROTS Anakin vs TCW Maul and ROTS Dooku

Anakin as of operation Knightfall
R1 Canon only
R2 Legends only

Anakin in both scenarios

Anakin since it's Knightfall.

This Anakin can already easily beat Dooku. Adding Maul to Dooku's team only makes this already lopsided fight even moreso.

What do we really know about canon Anakin honestly? Aside from him being able to defeat Dooku. What makes you think he could take on Maul at the same time as well?

Nah come on. In canon ROTS Anakin isn't even close to peak Vader. He doesn't have the feats or the hype to defeat both of them at the same time. Legends its def arguable though.

Imo legends has a stronger case - Anakin is on the same level of Sidious/Yoda as of rots.

Can we say the same of canon Anakin?

All we really know about canon Anakin's power is what we saw in RotS(and what was detailed a bit more in the junior novel): that he was able to decisively stomp Dooku just by momentarily tapping-into his rage. Adding Maul might change the outcome -- not sure. /shrug

Legends Anakin definitely beats them, though. His accolades make him damn near untouchable.

What does the Jr rots novel say specifically about Anakin? Any quotes on his power?

Not really.

The argument for the RotS junior novel being canon is that it was republished in 2014, shortly after the Disney reboot. It also carries the Disney brand:

What role does the Jr novelization play in this thread?

Just reiterates the obvious: that Anakin clowned Dooku after tapping into his rage for a moment.

I think the novelisations are all “sorta canon”

Like can probably use them in instances where they dont directly contradict Disney Canon.

Canon adjacent I think is the term. Canon insofar as they can be overridden by new publications. I feel like the Ahsoka novel also falls into that now with TCW S7.

Yeah, the films are still, generally, *the* canon. Supplementary material cannot outright contradict the films -- it can only expand on them.

I'm sure TCW and Rebels is pretty much on the same level as the films as well.

Definitely.
