Well, there was one time in the fourth grade.... No. Why would ever want to? ;D I might grow bored with it in a few years or just become too distracted with RL matters to devote sufficient time to reading, or I might find some new reading material I enjoy much more. Who knows? But for now, Star Wars is just a collection of stories I like reading in my spare time.  |

Hahaha, I admire your dedication. I'm somewhat ADD-ish in my reading. I flip from material to material at a whim.

I hear you. It can be nice just to pick up whatever and read it.

Not before you posted it. Favorite Spider-Man story? Ugh. Impossible to narrow down to one. Honestly, anything not written by completely incompetent writers I am on board for. Everything back when Stan Lee was still writing till now (not that I claim to have read everything between them). More often than not, Spider-Man stories are actually very good. The ones that are of lower quality stand out more to the point where they become easily recognizable for their poor quality. But with the vast number of good stories, I could never choose one. For that matter, I could never choose just five or ten even. |

How did Obi-Wan and Anakin fight so evenly, despite the fact Anakin was better then him in almost all aspects?

How did Obi-Wan and Anakin fight so evenly, despite the fact Anakin was better then him in almost all aspects? 1. Obi-Wan and Anakin knew each other's fighting styles to a T, which afforded them (moreso Obi-Wan than Anakin) greater recognition and expectation of the tactics the other would employ. 2. Obi-Wan used a few Force tricks (Electronic Manipulation) and the environment (not referring simply to the "high ground" nonsense) to his advantage, while Anakin was just rushing in to attack without any real form or strategy. 3. Anakin's emotions were interfering with his competency. If he had his head on straight, the outcome would have been different. |

Could any one Jedi from that era have beaten Anakin if he did have his head on straight?

Could any one Jedi from that era have beaten Anakin if he did have his head on straight? Yoda, seeing as he is the most skillful duelist in the Order and the most powerful Jedi to ever live up to his time. Anakin, when acting competently, is probably the second most powerful Jedi in the Order based on feats. There are quite a few characters with very impressive Force showings, such as Plo Koon, but in sheer power, Anakin is second only to Yoda. His dueling skill is harder to determine though. Mace Windu might beat Anakin in a straight fight as he might be a better duelist, but this is hard to say. Anakin's speed feats are superior to Mace's, and as I said, he is noticeably more powerful. As well, Anakin might have progressed in the Clone Wars to the point that he superseded Mace in lightsaber proficiency. I will say that if Anakin fought Mace the way he fought Dooku where he drew heavily on the dark side, he would very probably win. Setting aside the fact that Djem So granted Anakin an edge over Dooku's Makashi, Anakin simply operated on another level in that fight. Aside from Mace, not really sure. Maybe one of the other Jedi who are among the best duelists in the Order, such as Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, or Kit Fisto. But to be honest, Anakin has impressed me more in lightsaber combat than they have, but that might be due to their lack of feats in that regard. For instance, Tiin's only dueling feat is sparring as an equal with Mace, and Kolar's only dueling feat is casually beating Quinlan Vos. Fisto has a few feats of his own, though, but none of them lead me to believe he would be conclusively better than Anakin. |

So, would a full powered Anakin have been equal to EU Luke?

So, would a full powered Anakin have been equal to EU Luke? Presumably, he would have been either slightly less powerful, slightly more powerful, or perfectly equal to Luke at full potential, but all of this is partly speculative and is mostly based on comparisons between Luke and Anakin's total potential. We just never saw Anakin reach his peak. |

What is for you the worst moment in any Star Wars thing? (High ground, Starkiller's "greatest feat", etc)

What is for you the worst moment in any Star Wars thing? (High ground, Starkiller's "greatest feat", etc) Probably the ending of FU 2. What was so bad about the high ground thing? Well, it just comes across as a weak cop out. I will say, however, that some people's complaints with it are, in my opinion, invalid. People say that Anakin should have just jumped onto the hill at a lower point and run up the rest of the distance, and they would be correct in saying that. But Obi-Wan tricking Anakin into trying to prove how powerful he is by leaping over Obi-Wan while simultaneously attacking him drives in the point that Anakin was fighting stupidly, while Obi-Wan was thinking ahead. It really had less to do with the fact that Anakin couldn't have jumped far over Obi-Wan (because he could have done that) and more to do with his arrogance and rage leading him to just rush in and strike directly. He tried his slash at Obi-Wan mid-leap, and Obi-Wan parried the blow, then severed his limbs. It was well devised move on Obi-Wan's part and was only successful because Anakin just wasn't thinking straight. |
