Lucasfilm Issues Statement About Anakin Skywalker’s Power Level, Dividing Fans

BBG News

At the Star Wars company’s event in San Diego Comic-Con, Lucasfilm made a statement that stirred debate about Anakin Skywalker’s power level. Ever since there has been a galaxy far away, fans have pondered who the most powerful Jedi of all time is. Many loyal followers of Lucasfilm believe Hayden Christensen’s character, who transitioned from hero to villain, should rank at the top (since he was the Chosen One).

Despite recent revelations from Star Wars contradicting Anakin being the best Jedi ever, this dispute is likely to stir up some excitement among fans. The saga of actor Christensen’s legendary Jedi role is not over yet, as he is slated to appear in at least one Disney+ series next year. For now, it appears that his position at the pinnacle isn’t secured, but there’s still a chance for his ranking to shift.

At San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), attendees have come across a controversial assertion about Anakin Skywalker’s power level within the Star Wars saga, suggesting that contrary to popular belief, he is not the most powerful Jedi in the series.

According to a Star Wars exhibit at the SDCC event, Anakin “possessed the ability to grow into one of the mightiest Jedi in history,” implying that he didn’t fully reach this potential, contrary to common belief (as per Star Wars Holocron).

The modification made in the description has also been incorporated into the character’s formal biography on the official Star Wars site.

Originally found as a slave on Tatooine, Anakin Skywalker showed great promise as a potential Jedi with immense power, some thinking he might even be the prophesied Chosen One destined to restore harmony in the Force. However, his eagerness to surpass and prove himself often led him into disagreements with his master, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. During the Clone Wars, Anakin demonstrated heroism and kindness, but a profound fear of loss would ultimately lead to his tragic demise.

In the year 2026, Anakin Skywalker is set to reappear in Season 2 of the streaming show Ahsoka. Developed by Dave Filoni, this series chronicles Ahsoka Tano, a former padawan of Anakin during his Clone Wars era, as she navigates her own journey between Episodes VI and VII. In the series, Anakin appears as a Force Ghost, offering guidance to Ahsoka through the power of the Force, particularly in her role as a mentor to Sabine Wren.

Is Anakin The Most Powerful Jedi in Star Wars?

Regardless of Star Wars providing an official perspective on Anakin’s power level, enthusiasts continue to engage in lively discussions about who holds the highest rank among the Jedi in the cherished science fiction series.

According to Dave Filoni, the creator of Star Wars Rebels and Clone Wars, Akakin is considered the “supreme Jedi of all,” strengthening the belief that Anakin Skywalker is the greatest of all time.

Besides Filoni, other prominent Star Wars creators also share this viewpoint. For instance, The Mandalorian and Grogu’s director Jon Favreau expressed in 2023 that he believes Anakin could be the greatest Jedi, given his ability to defeat a top-tier Luke Skywalker should they ever clash on the battlefield.

In other words, this discussion about the new Star Wars character might never end, but with this fresh information from the official description, those who oppose Anakin in the debate may now have compelling evidence strong enough to sway opinions.

In the upcoming season 2 of “Ahsoka“, Anakin’s reputation could solidify further if the series portrays him performing even more awe-inspiring Jedi feats.

For the moment, it appears the argument is valid, and it’s evident that the franchise perceives this character as having less power compared to certain other characters within the lore.
