Adding to the impressive toolkit of this Jedi legend, a little trick that was also frequently utilised by his former Master actually appeared to be passed onto the one-time Jedi Knight in the midst of his training.

After spending his years as a youngling and padawan trying and often failing to tame many a beast beside Obi-Wan Kenobi - sometimes even being forced to cut down the creatures as a last resort - the penny clearly dropped for Anakin by the time of Attack of the Clones as Skywalker was able to successfully calm down and later ride a Reek in the midst of the Battle of Geonosis.

This wouldn't be the first or last time said beast taming skill would be seen in the Star Wars universe, though, with everyone from Darth Bane to Qui-Gon Jinn showing off their mastery of animal whispering over the years, too.
