Darth Vader vs Anakin Skywalker: Who Was Truly More Powerful?

Anakin Skywalker at his Jedi peak vs Darth Vader in his Sith prime — who was actually more powerful?

In this solo deep-dive, Matt breaks down Anakin’s unrealized potential, Vader’s refined dark-side mastery, and how the Chosen One’s tragedy created two entirely different versions of the same Force titan.

We’ll explore:

• Was Vader truly weaker, or did he become a different kind of monster?

• How both versions of Skywalker compare to Palpatine, Obi-Wan, and Yoda

• The wild difference between Legends Vader vs Canon Vader

• Vader’s craziest feats that most fans don’t know

• Could Anakin have defeated Sidious if he remained a Jedi?

• Final verdict: Potential vs actualization — what power really means in Star Wars

Matt also touches on a new synopsis for The Mandalorian and Grogu Movie, gives answers to this week's AMA segment, and shares the latest Star Wars x Columbia Collab!
