Keep in mind that to Lucas the light side of the Force isn’t mean to manifest itself in flashy and extraordinary feats, though yes, some showing rather than telling would have been nice. Of course Anakin’s near-prescient reflexes made him the only human pod-racer, and Anakin jumping off the speeder at the start of AOTC is certainly far more elaborate than anything they even could have attempted to show in the OT. The PT did in so many ways create the CG tech we now take for granted that, yes, the probably were too restricted to do too many crazy things…but, we’re saying this from the viewpoint of modern cinema with it’s plethora of superheroes doing all sorts of crazy and over the top things. And there’s my first point that this isn’t really what Jedi are supposed to do, though again, ironically, one of the biggest arguments against the PT, both back the and even nowadays, is that the Jedi became too flashy.

However, you could also argue that Anakin reaching the level he was at in AOTC despite having only been trained for ten years (at his age it should have been nearly double that) shows his unique skills. But again, Lucas had good ideas with subpar execution in the PT, and who’s to say that being the chosen one means you have to be a god-tier Jedi? I think the prophecy had more to do with simply being the person that would bring balance to the Force, not necessarily being some Force God like they did with Galen Marek (Force Unleashed) and to a somewhat lesser degree, Rey.

I think a lot of this stuff simply relates to audience expectation now that we’ve had over 20 years of CG and several dozen superhero movies that SW has to compete with for people’s attention.
