Anakin vs Mace Windu [Canon only]
So, using Canon only, who is winning this?
The fight is lightsabers only, on flat terrain and no environmental factors involved. Both are focused and try-harding.
PS. let's refrain from troll comments and/or unnecessary comments about past issues/opinions.
I would lean towards Anakin personally, as per Gillard's statements on Anakin's lightsaber level relative to Windu.
****Unfortunately, I accidentally put this in the wrong thread. My bad. Continue on I guess!

Mace hard fight imo. I interpreted Anakin being a "broken" nine that an 8 can possibly defeat like Kenobi.

A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."

I don't interpret is as such. Look at it this way, the novelisation of ROTS [edited line by line by Lucas himself] states that Anakin lost against his former master because of his emotional state, not his fighting skills. Also, Gillard says something like: "Sure, Anakin skipped steps, but he's still a 9."
So, I don't believe Anakin isn't legitimately a 9, because I remember Gillard saying specifically that regardless of the shortcuts, "he's still a 9."

I'm sure it is ....
Anyway, regardless, Anakin's defeat on Mustafar was circumstantial. In a clean one on one fight on even ground, Vader would have eventually penetrated Kenobi's defenses.

Don't have the book unfortunately. I'm not 100% sure it's in there.
Glad that you agree.

Mace. Anakin stalemated with Obi Wan who's inferior. Also lets not forget that even though Sidious took a dive in their duel Mace is still regarded as being able to compete with him so theres that.
