blasphemer that he is, #2 reckons Anakin would kick River arse.
Opinions?

River would crush Anakin, he wouldn't stand a chance.
I am looking for a good signature, this is only temporary.

River's two greatest strengths in combat, psychic ability and programmed fighting techniques, would count for nothing against someone trained in the force. Firearms would be useless as would any hand to hand fighting. Throw in Anankin's years of lightsabre training and you have almost certain doom for Ms. Tam.

As much as I really really hate to admit it. Anakin wins in a virtual no contest.
While River can see into the truth of things, Anakin can do so before they happen. Then there is the glaring matter of River's fragile mind and her inability to shield out unwanted stimulas...easy pickings for a Jedi with elementary mind trick skills. Next of course is Anakin's force power which allows him the ability to manipulate objects without even touching them. Unless River develops telekinesis, she has absolutely nothing to counter this.
The only possible draws are their weapons proficiency and IQ. Remember Anakin is a mechanical genius. Paired with his slightly inestimable emotional defficiencies he still presents a formidably intelligent foe...sound familiar?

When River said "I can kill you with my brain." Was she for real ? Pretty powerful weapon if she was telling the truth. Have we even seen the full extent of her power as a weapon ?
After seeing the real story about Miranda, River's mind clears, the voices & confusion are gone, she can think clearly & rationaly - she's OK. She is also able to conciously switch to trained weapon mode & her reactions are far faster than any number of adversaries.
I guess it would boil down to River's ability to counteract the Jedi mind tricks - at the least, she'll know what Darth's going to do before he does it. Other Jedi can evade the mind tricks, could a psychic who's been conditioned as a weapon do the same ?
Darth's light sabre won't be a problem, she's far too nimble for that. If she gets ahold of Darth, I doubt he has the physical capacity to defeat her. Hand to hand, she'll win.

River slinks & pouts
River winks and smiles
Annakin is mesmorized by her beauty & grace
They embrace
River knees him good in the nuts
Fight over, River wins

Given that Anakin would have to stop every few moments to pout and throw a tantrum, I'd say she'd have a good few openings to slaughter the little sod.
Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things.
Many of them were driven to these things by a horrible force called Music.

Thanks for your responses! They were a hoot, especially yours Odds.
#2 remains firm in his blaspheme!
