Anakin Skywalker's potential was there for all to see when he joined the Jedi Order as a boy - but Yoda saw something that no one else did.
During the period of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, the Jedi Order became concerned about Anakin Skywalker's temperament, although Grand Master Yoda quietly believed there was something positive to be found within it. Though his training began years later than a Jedi’s typically should, Anakin’s mastery of the Force grew beyond what any in the Jedi High Council could have imagined.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Yoda knew as well as anyone by the time of the Clone Wars that Anakin had the potential to one day become the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, the seat that Yoda himself currently held. Anakin’s behavior during the Clone Wars was positive and inspiring. He single-handedly led the Republic through some of its darkest days, and it was impossible to deny that he was a phenomenal combat general.
Yoda Believed Anakin's Spontaneity Was His True Gift However, what Yoda was most impressed by was not Anakin’s unmatched Force abilities, nor his proficiency with a lightsaber. Curiously enough, Yoda began observing the aforementioned spontaneity and occasional recklessness that Anakin had, which he believed to be his true gift. In the sixth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Yoda enlisted Anakin to help him escape from his guards to travel to Dagobah.
Indeed, when Anakin exhibited behaviors deemed unbecoming for Jedi , Yoda did become worried. The Jedi were utterly consumed with their ancient dogma by the time of the prequel trilogy, which led to their fearing controversial figures. In the Clone Wars, however, Yoda saw that the noble acts of negotiating and peacekeeping were more or less futile.
Had Anakin worked to garner the trust of the Jedi Council in the years leading up to that event – perhaps through a concerted effort to keep a hold of his impulses and to listen to their counsel - perhaps he might have been made to feel more at home within the order. Perhaps he might have been included in the squad that arrested Palpatine.
