Lets say the whole Darth Vader thing didnt happen and he didnt go to the Darkside to screw himself and destroy any relation to all his friends/masters.

Since he was "The Chosen One" would he of been the most powerful?

He pales in comparison to some of the Sith because he never followed his destiny

Yes. Anakin would've been as powerful as EU Luke

Who's basically the most powerful Force-Sensitive in history.

@mitran: Eh its alright,I doubt anyone would lie about this. Not really a point too. Thanks!

i believe obi wan said he was the one

*Anakin. It's Anakin.

It was a mental thing that was holding him back, hence why when he actually accepted the condition he was in he was able to adapt and improve his fighting style.

He WAS the chosen one though. He DID fufill his destiny. He brought balance to the force in the end, in a sense.

Anyway back on topic, yes I believe he could have been the most powerful.

What?!? No!!!!!! Galen Marek is the most powerful Jedi there is! Right JXM? Nyehehehehehehehehe! Trollollollolloll! ;)

Yes. Only Luke could compete.

Yes, if Anakin had followed his path as the Chosen One and not been corrupted, he would have been as strong as Luke was.

Galen's may favorite SW character, but even I'll admit he's not the most powerful, he's powerful, but not THAT powerful. :P

But he pulled down a Death Star and killed Darth Vadar easily. :O

@decoyelite: @ssejllenrad:

... -_-

@jedixman: I'm sorry you're right, he's technically the most powerful Sith. :) Makes the Emperor look like a chump.

No one is as strong as my Old Republic character! :P

There are arguments that say either Luke or Cade was the one. I still think it's up for debate.

He didn't pull down a Star Destroyer, simply directed it's crash :P As for the Darth Vader thing, I think a lot of it could be what has been mentioned in this thread, how Vader simply limited himself through doubt. But then again, it's always possible that he was going easy in his fights against Galen.

I haven't made that argument but I'm assuming because his abilities to do so within himself.

@war_killer: Nuh uh, he has all of the force, he got it from Vadar when he was trained. And then he founded the rebellion because he's the best good guy and he's the one who really taught Luke and he was the original new Jedi Grandmaster.

Cade isn't that powerful.

@mitran: I do it because I know it hurts and I'm a bad person.

...

*Waves hand through the air.*

These aren't the droids you're looking for. :P

@war_killer: Galan is the one who actually made R2D2,.

@mitran:

I assume a lot Cade's argument is his potential of what he could be not what he is. Something that gets limited by him not letting go of being a dreg.

O__O

I knew it! And he killed Jar Jar, right? <_<

@mitran: Yes.

He made Jar Jar a senator so that Palatine could become Emperor because that was when he was evil.

"Potential" basically comes from fanboys using hyperbole. Cade has nothing other than the name Skywalker. He has never beaten anybody of note (no, Krayt is not somebody of note).

Luke, Jacen Solo, Palpatine, Plagueis, and many other Force users are leagues above him. Cade isn't close, and he probably never will be.

It's really been awhile since I read it. So my memory is vague. So forgive me if I get something wrong. He had the ability to be both light and dark at the same time without having to choose exclusively either.

But then later he kill Jar Jar after Palpatine became Emperor, right...right? <_<

@war_killer: Galan showed mercy because he has the heart of a hero.

Crap...darn Light Side of the Force... -___-

*Shakes fist*

You mean Galan side of the force.

@mitran: I am only a stepping stone to the true king of trolling.

God_Spawn.

Apparently, I do.

@war_killer: Galan's force is so strong that he gets his own side ya see.

I disagree with everything with the first part. The second only really applies to what he is now and what he does becomes probably depends on whether or not he truly wants to be more than a dreg which is his biggest obstacle IMO.

Okay. Still can't refute it, though.

Okay. Still can't prove it, though.

@mitran: I am stronger than I seem. Almost as strong as might Galan.

O. M. G You read my fan fic!

A thousand times this
