How strong will adult Anakin be?

By mazz0, in X-Wing

Initiative 6, certainly, but how powerful in the Force will he be? He’s the chosen one, yeah, but he’s still learning. How will he compare with the masters of the time: Obi Wan, Yoda*, Windu, Dooku, Maul, all the other Jedi and Dark Jedi masters?

*presumably only as crew, but who knows?

Less strong than baby Anakin and his mastery of the neat trick

Good question.

I would not be surprised if Jedi Knight Anakin is the same force and initiave as Darth Vader - I6 and 3 force.

I agree he’ll be Initative 6, and at a minimum 3 Force Token user. To me he should be at least the same as Vader. If not more powerful because before he fell, he was very powerful in the Force (he also was a Jedi Master/ on the Council reluctantly thanks to Yoda & Mace Windu)

We deny you the rank of master....

I doubt he will be more powerful. He switched to the dark side because he thought it would make him more powerful than otherwise.

That is correct, Mace Windu did say that. That really inflamed Anakin more. It’s been awhile since I watched Revenge of the Sith

In 6, 2 force tokens, different ability.

Call me crazy, but I'd like to see him as the only ever I7 pilot.

I’m good with him being I6 and 3 Force. No more than that for either. Maybe less force.

I’m hoping most Jedi cap out at 2 for balance purposes.

I just hope that we will never, ever have to distinguish between "Adult Anakin" and "Young Anakin." :rolleyes:

My hope (and suspicion) is that yours is a forlorn one. ?

Hmm. It’s an interesting question. Judging by his fight with Obi Wan I suppose they should both be equal in the force (though Obi Wan naturally gets a much higher Wisdom stat). But should that be 3, as high as Vader? If so what would Yoda be? But then if it’s 2, he’s the same as Luke, who, whilst strong in the force was almost completely untrained.

Of course it could also depend whether we get AotC Anakin or RotS Anakin. Not as much as it depends with Snips, of course...

Of course, it is a very, very rough abstract approximation.

Anakin Skywalker. IN 6. You may perform the barrel roll action more than once per round.

"Try spinning; that's a good trick."

I like this

He'll be strong.

But not too strong.

He's the one that been prophesied to bring balance to the meta.

I thought it was Anikan's ill-fated encounter with Obi-Wan on Mustafar that really inflamed him...

I agree completely, Anakin gets his *** handed to him by Dooku, I mean badly. Anakin is not strong (Insert Pakled Pic). He could very well be Int 6 but force too? Not likely if they want to stick to canon. He only gets tough as Vader. Now what would make me all sorts of tickled is if they release a young lord vader and give him massive force powers. No clue what ship he’d use, maybe as a crew.

You should watch the Mortis episodes of the Clone Wars. Anakin has massive power. He actually lost some power when he got cybered up, but got some back for going Dark. I'm hoping for his standard ability with 3 force and built in supernatural reflexes (though that's probably overkill).

Yoda is the more difficult one. Maybe he regains 2 force per turn?

Haven’t seen those but he seemed to get a massive power boost going darkside in the movies. I don’t mean the black armored mecha we all know and love but the fresh turned Vader that wiped out the jedi temple. Still think he was toying with Obi-wan in that Mustafar fight and lost to stupid cockiness. Forcewise Obi-wan should have stood no chance.

hmm... a prophecy mis-read, perhaps.

After rewatching the phantom menace to revenge of the sith recently with my son I’d like to think Anakin would be IN6 with 3 Force tokens and Obi wan would be about IN4 with also 3 Force tokens. As for anakins ability, keeping the theme of spending Force tokens for Force user pilot abilities i’d Like to see something like “During the Perform Actions step, you may send 1 [force charge] to perform an action even while stressed.”

My only hope is that he'll be a terrible pilot, but unlocks a very powerful R2D2 to do all the work for him.
