He also said to Yoda, that Vader will become more powerful then either of them. He had about 20 years for that, and still was clearly inferior to Palpatine.e.
Overall i thought the book was ok. Id give it a C. The parts/interaction with and between vader and sidious were excellent, and the Cham/Belkor dialogue was enjoyable, but the rest was pretty hard to get thru. I found myself bored and skimming thru a good deal.
A big part of the boredom came from kemp feeling the need to describe mundane details or spell thing out for us like were 5. Like when two ships crews would rendezvous hed be all like- the first ship landed and then the doors open and people come out, then the second ship landed and the doors opened and people came out.
And there were a bunch of times where i would read a sentence and be like no shit, why did u just explain something thats so obvious. For instance - "she's hurtin, all right eshgo said, meaning the ship." There's no need for the "meaning the ship" part. They were in the middle of talking about the ship, and eshgo just referred to it as "her" a paragraph earlier. I might be being a little nit-pickey but aside from the boringness of alot of it, it felt like we the reader were being spoon fed unnecessarily.
Kenobi isn't the one who's seen falling to his "death" which is what a defeat is. Being stronger or more skilled doesn't mean you defeat someone. A defeat means you lost, and Maul clearly lost. Which was the point of the statement.
As to the book itself, I'm not quite done with it yet, but I enjoyed what I've read so far. I don't really set the bar that high when concerning Star Wars.
Probably, but "more powerful" wasn't necessarily talking about the present. Because he wasn't Sidious's apprentice yet when Sidious said that. In any case it's Sidious's biased opinion justifying the loss of Count Dooku to Grievous.
Not that it matters because he was more "Powerful" than Kenobi as well but still got beat by him. So statements like that have little to do with feats and who was more impressive.

Meh Dooku packed a pretty good punch before he went down. So I don't think everyone would see Anakin as clearly > Dooku. Especially when he stalemated Kenobi in the Force Push contest later in the film. Most people would see Anakin as being stronger, but Dooku as more refined, skilled and knowledgeable in the Force.
In any case it wasn't Machine Vader who beat Dooku (Not that he necessarily couldn't).

It certainly is never said in the films that Anakin got weaker in the Force due to his injuries. In fact, no one was saying that until around 2004.
It was there before the electrocution, Luke felt it. The movie makes the point of equating conflict in Vader with there still being good in him. Clearly the good that was remaining in him is understood to have been there all along, so by the same token that should also apply to the conflict.
