While one could say him never having finished a pod race, much less having won one could count as a failure, given no other human was supposed to be able to do it, he didn't count those as failures. He wasn't used to failing. He might not have full success, but failure was new.
He isn't going to fail at this, so he listens, jaw set stubbornly. Attempt two, he imagines the fork rising into the air, wills it to do so, and reaches inside himself for that star inside him. The fork rises, wobbling but it does rise.
A couple inches. Until Anakin realizes what he's doing and gasps excitedly which breaks his focus, leading to it dropping loudly back down. "Dammit."
