when he leaped out of the speeder, fell a long way, landed on Zams speeder, and brought it down while holding on in mid air while the speeder was going god knows how fast.
Leaving aside how completely unrealistic this bit looks, how does that count as being a 'cunning warrior'?
QUOTE
maybe they were all cunning warriors too?? he managed to survive when many others didnt. after watching AotC, did you still doubt that Anakin wasnt a special, gifted Jedi, a sigificant cut above the others?
Er.. yes, in fact, I did. The only point at which he demonstrated a significant difference to the other Jedi was when he slughtered a bunch of helpless women and children.
QUOTE
i meant were he leaped the full distance of the room to stop Dooku from cutting Obi Wan in two. if someone did that for me i might be inclined, when reminising about them , to say something positive about them later.
I still don't see how this makes him a 'cunning warrior'. All he managed to do was hold off Dooku for a few seconds until backup arrived, getting himself seriously injured in the process.
QUOTE
considering the context the line was delivered in (a quick, two comment summary to a son about his dead father), I doubt future audiences will question it.
You're probably right - they'll be too busy wondering why the hell Obi-Wan was describing him as 'the best star-pilot in the galaxy.' Unless we see evidence of this in RotS, which I doubt.

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.
