During the Clone Wars, Anakin comes into his own as a warrior and obliterates nearly every roadblock in his way. However, arrogance is his greatest weakness, as he can’t accept the fact that there are a select few across the galaxy who can stand against him. Here are three Jedi who are secretly more powerful than Anakin.
3) Obi-Wan Kenobi
Qui-Gon’s apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, has a hard time wrapping his head around the Anakin situation, but he takes the young man under his wing. Still, Obi-Wan struggles while teaching Anakin because his pupil’s raw strength is unlike anything he’s seen before. The battles they face together are no joke, and Anakin almost always takes the lead because of his hot-headedness.
What Anakin doesn’t pay attention to is the fact that, while his master likes to wait for the right moment to strike, Obi-Wan can get on his level when he needs to. On two separate occasions, the Jedi who makes defense his calling card defeats the Chosen One, and the third time they meet on the battlefield, he doesn’t even bother putting up a fight because his mission is bigger than a one-on-one victory.
2) Mace Windu
The Jedi most skeptical of Anakin is Mace Windu, who doesn’t seem to cut the kid any slack. He takes every opportunity to bash the young Jedi and even outright embarrasses him, such as when he scolds him for being upset about not being granted the rank of master. Well, Anakin gets his chance to get back at his biggest critic in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
