[There's a small ripple of surprise at how easily Anakin deflects his blow. He should have known that he would be a master of the lightsaber. He's not the most powerful Sith for nothing.]
Why does everyone assume it was poorly made?
[Well, it was, but the design flaws had been deliberate. The cracked kyber crystal, less so. He takes a step back, twirls the blade, and tries for a undercut, again putting a lot of strength behind the blow.
While it's clear he's got power behind his attacks, it's also clear that he's very untrained. He hasn't had many people to spar against, and even then, his technical knowledge of fighting with a lightsaber is piecemeal. Hell, Ahsoka had managed to beat him in just one swift movement when she was done putting up with him. But what he lacks in skill, he makes up for in potential. Like a rough rock, he just needs to be polished.]
