| The reason Anakin had trouble in the foundry scene is the same reason a black panther would have trouble there. A black panther is a powerful predator with vast knowledge in the thickets. But in man's world the black panther is out of place. This does not lessen the panther's abilities. In the stadium scene Anakin does better because the Reek is an animal, a living being to communicate with. Anakin uses his shaman abilities to talk to the Reek. Machines you can not talk to or communicate with. They just run programs.
Man is not the wisest mammal in the world. After all, it is man who is destroying our planet, not any other animal. Planet earth is 4.5 billion years old. It has been 15 billion years since "the big bang" according to Carl Sagan in the Cosmos series, 4 billion years to be snuffed out by 200 years of recklessness and human greed. Since the industrial revolution, we have ravaged the earth. We even doubled our efforts of destruction in the last 25 years. Humans brag of how we have evolved and laugh at tribal peoples like American Indians, the Aborigines of Australia, and earlier forms of man such as the Neanderthals; but in all cases scientists have proven these tribal peoples and earlier forms have shown compassion to their fellows. They have helped the weaker elements to survive. They even had primitive forms of communism without Karl Marx to tell them. Even the prairie dog, the wolf and some species of birds operate communally sharing the kill and other things necessary for survival. Primitive man even had universal health care of their day while our fundamentalist Obi-Wan modern man treats each other like dirt. Like insects, modern man is cold, ruthless, kills the weak, scoffs and says they are "pathetic life forms" unworthy of life. This is called progress. Only the insect who works round the clock and asks little in return is desired.
Anakin as nature also includes the energies of Kundalini. The Kundalini is highly charged sexual energy and is associated with the god Shiva. This energy includes all the strong emotions like love, hate or anger, fear, sadness, joy, ecstasy, pleasure and sex. The sexual energies keeps the earth and all its creatures going. It is the animation principle; with out it, there is stagnation and death. This energy gives you energy to get up in the morning, to create,do projects, even to have a job. In todays Burka society of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the sex energy is being systematically snuffed out. The results is children getting old age ailments like high blood pressure, heart attacks, and no desire to play, run and jump leading to obesity. The Obi-Wan Christian fanatics have gone too far. All is dying. This is only one facet of sex, the gaseous energy side. Nature taps into this energy to create and sustain itself all the time.
Then of course there is the physical side of sex which is important also. When guy meets girl and falls in love, this gives much pleasure to both. It is a reason to get up in the morning. If you have a lover who really loves you in all ways of expressing itself, and one of them is sex. Of course it is assumed you are a legal adult of 18 years of age.
