Comment on I know. Somehow, I've always known.

By the destruction of the Death Star alone, Luke has a higher body count than Anakin did at 22, saved the Rebellion, and became a decorated war hero. And Luke did that within, like a week?
Meanwhile Anakin had been building up to that point for years, and was only a General because all Jedi were Generals. Other than becoming a Jedi, it’s not like he did anything specifically to earn that position.

Anakin was also playing the game with cheats on. Palp was arranging a lot of softball missions for him. Can’t have the chosen one get randomly killed by a droid.

Did we watch the same TV show as kids?? I wouldn’t call the invasion of Geonosis a ‘softball mission’.

Geonosis was arranged as a bit of a humbling strike. Anakin was supposed to meet and be defeated by his rival for apprentice … which is what happened.
Again, another softball as Dooku was likely instructed not to kill or harm Anakin … which explained why he looked disappointed with the arm having been lost.
