    Default Paul Atreides vs Anakin Skywalker - NOT what you think!!!

    Imagine a table with two balls on it, one red, one blue. Standing in front of the table is Anakin Skywalker pre-getting half his flesh seared off, Paul Atreides end of the second Dune movie, and a random Red Shirt ensign from Star Trek. Both Anakin and Paul use their respective mind control powers to get the Red Shirt to pick up a different ball. Who wins?

    Uh...hmm. Essentially this is a quickdraw of the spoken word.

    Has Anakin ever done the Jedi Mind Trick outside of the movies?

    The Voice isn't supernatural (in the world of Dune). It's just souped-up "power of suggestion."

    I think, for that reason, the Mind Trick will be more effective.

    ...Then again, I guess the Mind Trick is usually depicted/stated as not being that powerful. The Voice unambiguously works on people with "strong wills" and can pretty easily make people kill themselves.
