Is Darth Vader More Powerful Than Anakin Skywalker? (In-Depth Analysis) - Star Wars Explained

In Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one, or so the prophecy lead the Jedi to believe…and we know that Darth Vader was half man half machine after his duel on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith to Obi-Wan Kenobi…severing his connection to the force severely with his lost limbs and burned body. Once Palpatine revived him and put him into the machined body that we know Darth Vader came to be in...just who was more powerful? Now it's hard to say, as Anakin Skywalker never got to see his full potential, however we can examine Vader's peak performance next to Anakin's just before Obi-Wan Kenobi destroyed him. We'll examine lightsaber fighting styles (Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan and Count Dooku), force powers, and everything in between in this episode of Star Wars Theory.
