Fair enough, I stand corrected technology-wise, but I would still argue that Anakin doing Neo-like stuff kinda goes against the rules of the SW universe (at the time anyway) and the overall themes. Besides, the pod-race scene in TPM certainly showcased his special talents and the first action scene of AOTC does have him do some pretty spectacular feats (though within certain lore and narrative restrictions). Anakin also never really got reach his full potential in the movies either. He’s a kid in ep. 1, a padawan in ep. 2 and he turns to the dark side in ep. 3. And this “problem” is more or less why Lucas commissioned two Clone Wars cartoons.
