Top 10 most powerful Jedi

I would agree with Yoda being #1 simply because of his experience and knowledge of the force, but I would put Anakin at #2. He was extremely powerful (had the highest midi chlorian counts ever measured), he was just cocky and inexperienced when he went up against Obi Wan on Mustafar.

Mace Windu I'd put 3rd.

The rest of the list is irrelevant really because any one of the jedis I could list could beat one another on any given day.

Luke doesn't even make my top 10, to be honest. Vader would have handed Luke his butt if he wanted to. And Luke didn't bring balance to the force, Vader did.

Depending on whether you want to consider it canon, I would include starkiller from the force unleashed games in my top 3.

HOW CAN YOU PUT TYVOKKA BEHIND PLO KOON? ARE YOU NUTS?

and mace windu is ranked way too high. I know he's black, but 2nd is ridiculous.

Because Tyvokka died way before Plo Koon.

Give me one reason why Mace Windu shouldn't be ranked second.

Anakin Skywalker had the highest midichlorian count. I'd put him above Mace Windu. It's implied he never reached his full potential though, so I'd leave him below Yoda.

Are you including Extended Universe? I'm assuming yes since I have no idea who Tyvokka is, and Googling him makes it look like he's a comic book character. Jacen Solo was supposed to be ridiculously powerful. He might be considered a Sith rather than a Jedi though, but you did include Anakin. Kyp Durron also had Force sensitivity that was off the charts, though I don't know if he developed it enough to be up with some of the big hitters. There's also Revan, who's been both Jedi and Sith. Also, if you include Extended Universe, you can move Luke higher on the list, since he got more and more powerful as time went on.

Not Leia. If you're going to include a female, Nomi Sunrider was a better Jedi than Leia. Maybe Jaine Solo since she's the Sword of the Jedi and has been trained as both a Jedi and by Boba Fett, but so far she hasn't done anything noteworthy other than killing Caedus, and she's still clearly less powerful than Luke.

I'm sure I'm missing people, but I've only read a little bit of the Extended Universe. Also, the Solo twins and Durron may end up retconned out of existence by Episode VII.

8. Obi-Wan-- beat Darth Mall, and Vader the first time (although the 2nd time he fought weakly and died)

He LET himself "die". Vader did not defeat him. Didn't he say something like "if you strike me down, I'll be more powerful than you can imagine" or something? That and the fact that he beat Maul and Vader the first time should clearly put him above Vader.

Overpower Lord Vader? I don't think so. I think Obi-Oan knew Vadar could not be beaten. You could only get him through his heart. That is why He sacrificed himself to complete the prophesy. Anakin is the best. He learned both the good and the dark side of the force. So he is the most complete Jedi. Plus he is half machine. Why the dark side want him? He is the best.

I think it was a happy accident. Palpatine's apprentices kept getting sliced in half and Anikan was a convenient option since he was so emotionally vulnerable.

Do any of you lames read the fan fiction outside of the movie???? you have 3 people from the fan fiction stuff but nothing more. Also, Darth sidious is strong than Mace

A) Mace Windu was tricked by Anakin

B) Mace Windu used Vaapad which gave him an unfair advantage

C) Mace Windu was black and is overranked solely on this point

There's 3 reasons.

I have very little knowledge of the extended universe Jedi. With that in mind...

1. Yoda--can't dispute this

2. Mace Windu--General badass, defeated the Emperor

3. Obi-Wan--Severely underrated. Defeated Maul, defeated Anakin, defeated Grievous. Survived the purge of the Jedi.

4. Anakin--May have had the most raw power of anyone on this list, but never learned how to channel it and reach his potential. After Obi-Wan defeated him, even the Emperor lamented that Anakin's potential had been destroyed. His athletic ability was broken.

5. Plo Koon--awesome Jedi, awesome pilot.

6. Luke Skywalker--In the movies, he was never fully trained. No where near the level of the Jedi above him who came up in the training system of the Republic.

where does Qui-Gon Jinn rank? Ki-Adi Mundi?

I didn't rank Starkiller, because I don't consider his storyline plausible enough to be canon.

A) Tyvokka was a wookie

B) Tyvokka had a yellow lightsaber

C) order of death has no determination on Jedi ranking

The top 3 clearly:

1) Yoda/Revan (seriously yes a tie)

3) Anakin (never reached his potential would have been the best)

maybe 4th or 5th:

Mace Windu. Lost 3 Jedi Knights to get the Emperor, was tricked by Anakin. The two strongest Sith he faced he couldn't kill but Anakin could. Over-F**kin' ranked. Was still unbeaten in Lightsaber combat until tricked.

It was Qui-Gon found Anankin.

Qui-Gon discovered how to make after life appearances and taught the skill to Yoda and Kenobi.

Without him, there would have been no "Use the Force Luke" after Obiwan died.

Dooku beat them both easily, then beat Yoda. Then they went off to train for three years to fight him 2 on 1, and Obi-wan still caved in seconds.

Dooku was the best and tragicest character in the story, and part of the mostly-ignored central theme of slavery and freedom. In most old epic tales, many of the characters are slaves. In star wars the role of slaves is played mostly by robots. The good droids obey their masters without question and play "good guy" roles. The bad droids are constantly rebelling and causing trouble. Dooku is a freedom fighter whose armies naturally are made up of slaves. Grievous, of course, is mostly droid. Some of the separatist leaders are at least part droid.

How many droids are there on the jedi council? Zero. The army of the republic is made up entirely of humans. In the republic, there is no droid without a human master ordering it around. 3po is shocked to see droids manufacturing droids because he views humans as gods and droids as inferior. The droids are the oppressed, the undercaste, the downtrodden.

The old, stale and arrogant jedi religion propped up this caste system, and Dooku rebelled against it while using Sidious for leverage, with the ultimate goal of weakening both religions and freeing the galaxy from oppression. Only blind do-gooder Obi-Wan's dogged loyalty prevented him from wiping out Sidious at the critical moment, after which Sidious had him killed off.

But even after Dooku's death, the separatists remained in essence a slave rebellion led by Grievous. When Anakin joined them, he left behind his life of luxury and privilege and returned to his slave roots. Loyally beholden to his new master, he betrayed and destroyed the droid rebellion and was recast in his true form - Vader, part man, mostly droid.

That sets up the main theme of 4 through 6, which is Vader's loyalty. Is he slave or free? Luke reaches the same point when he fights Vader and finds out he has been manipulated by the jedi, and is not as free as he thought. Accordingly he is recast as part droid just like Vader, and the final battle is the part-droids vs their master. Only when Vader's original droid hand is severed does he dare kill the emperor and win his freedom at last.

The three central characters, the only ones in all 3 films, are the slaves Anakin, r2d2 and c3po. The story is about them. 3po will be a slave forever because he wants to. R2d2 will be a slave because he's recklessly loyal and likes being heroic. Only Vader will be free.

Bad Wigins meant:

the only ones in all 6 films,

1. Revan*

2. The Exile (When she was a hole in the Force)*

3. Anakin Skywalker

4. Yoda

5. Luke Skywalker

6. Starkiller*

7. Obi-Wan

8. Mace Windu

9. Kyle Katarn*

10.Qui-Gon (Poweful in the Force, but not in combat)

*SW video games always overpower their Jedi.

Who wins in a fight between Qui-Gonn Jinn and Ra's al Ghul?

I find the lack of Solo children on these lists disturbing.

Saw this as I am leaving for work, will make a good case for Darth Maul when I get out.

I cant understand how he is not on the list.
