Thanks guys for the 16,000 votes casted on our poll a few weeks ago on who your favorite
Jedi is.
We appreciate all of them, especially the comments you guys posted.
At number 10, with 443 votes, is Kit Fisto.
Making his first major appearance in Episode 2, Attack of the Clones, Kit Fisto quickly
became a fan favorite with his signature smile during the arena battle on Geonosis.
That charming smile came with a sense of humor, making Fisto stand out among many other Jedi,
especially those on the Jedi Council, who tended to take everything seriously.
Even in death, Fisto had a smile on his face, as noted by Anakin when he ran past his corpse
in the Chancellor's office.
Considered to be one of the best duelists within the Jedi Order, Fisto was able to hold
his own against General Grievous with ease and also survive against Palpatine for a few
seconds before being cut down.
His ability to use the force in combat was also remarkable, especially underwater, where
he even invented a unique force ability known as force orb, which was essentially a powerful
orb of air that was capable of penetrating underwater craft.
He also was able to give his oxygen to those drowning while underwater.
Fun fact, Kit Fisto and Aayla Secura had somewhat of a romantic relationship, but they never
committed to it due to their devotion to the Jedi code.
Reading your guys’ comments, many of you voted for him for two reasons, first being
for his charming smile and humor, and second for his unique physical appearance and his
ability to expertly fight underwater.
At number 9, with 716 votes, is Mace Windu.
Being one of the most powerful Jedi for his time, Windu acted like a one army during battles,
with at one point even taking down hundreds of battle droids with his bare hands.
Supposedly he had a kill count of over 1 million battle droids near the end of the war.
Windu stood out among other Jedi with his purple lightsaber, which he created with unique
purple crystals he obtained in his younger years.
He was also extremely quick, being able to even dodge blaster bolts with ease.
On top of his immense speed, Windu possessed a rare ability known as shatter point, which
allowed him to see the weaknesses of his enemies through the force, making him an extremely
dangerous opponent to fight against.
Based on the comments, many of you voted for Mace Windu due to his unique purple lightsaber
and also for the fact that he can channel the dark side of the force against his opponents
through his mastery of Vaapad.
Many of you also voted for him because Samuel L Jackson played him, who is truly one of
the greatest actors to ever live.
At number 8, with 728 votes, is Yoda.
Nearing the age of 900 years, Yoda was the grand master and leader of the Jedi Order,
training nearly all the Jedi by the time of the clone wars.
Despite his non-intimidating appearance, Yoda was one of the most powerful Jedi in galactic
history.
Although his old age limited his endurance for lightsaber combat, he was able to perform
colossal feats through the force, such as when he denied a separatist ship from unloading
its army before destroying it by forcing it to crash with another ship.
His old age made him extremely knowledgeable of the force and the secrets kept within the
Jedi archives.
Such knowledge allowed him to create Jedi holocrons from scratch and to also contact
Jedi through the force across the galaxy.
It seems many of you voted for Yoda because he was the wisest Jedi and that despite his
small size, he was super powerful.
Also many people voted for him simply because he was green.
At number 7, with 774 votes, is Luke Skywalker.
Being the son of the chosen one, Luke had a very strong connection to the force, having
the potential to surpass even Yoda and Mace Windu in terms of raw power.
By the time Luke became a grandmaster, he had the lightsaber skill of Mace Windu, and
the force powers of Yoda.
Basically he had become the most powerful Jedi to ever live.
After the Galactic Civil war, Luke went on to create the New Jedi Order, where he taught
the new generation of Jedi.
In Legends, Luke went on to marry Mara Jade, a former Emperor’s Hand, and together they
had a son named Ben Skywalker.
Though we don’t know if this will also be the case in the new movies.
The most recurring reason as to why you guys voted for Luke seemed to be because he was
able to redeem his father at the end of Return of the Jedi, and also because of how powerful
he became in Legends once he reached the title of Grandmaster.
At number 6, with 892 votes, is Plo Koon.
Unable to breath oxygen due his species’ unique biology, Plo Koon was forced to wear
a breathing mask in order to survive outside his homeworld.
His superb ability to use the force was noted throughout the Jedi order, and Plo Koon was
even recorded in using a light side version of force lightning known as Electric Judgment.
He was the one who found and took Ahsoka Tano to the Jedi Temple when she was a youngling,
acting as her mentor during her childhood before she was assigned as the apprentice
of Anakin Skywalker.
Plo Koon discovering Ahsoka Tano and his usage of a light side version of force lightning
seemed to be the main reason many people voted for him.
Also the fact that he wore a mask made him even more appealing to many other people.
At number 5, with 943 votes, is Anakin Skywalker.
As the chosen one and the manifestation of the force itself, Anakin had the potential
to become basically a god within the star wars universe.
Unfortunately for him, he was never able to achieve this due to his injuries from Obi
Wan.
As a padawan, Anakin surpassed many of his peers and tended to be at the top of his class.
Once he became a Jedi knight and active within the clone wars, Anakin was regarded as the
greatest warrior of the republic by many citizens as he helped liberate countless worlds.
Despite being a hero to many, he soon became a monster to those he once saved when he fell
to the darkside and became Darth Vader.
As a sith lord, Vader hunted down and killed countless Jedi during the Empire’s reign.
He probably had the highest Jedi kill count of anyone in galactic history.
Many people voted for Anakin due to the fact that he brought balance to the force and was
the one who killed Emperor Palpatine in an effort to save his son.
He also was liked due to his treatment of his troopers and how he led them in battle.
At number 4, with 1,071 votes, is Revan.
He was a Jedi during the Old Republic era, which took place over 3,000 years before the
clone wars.
Revan was a man of action who got things done.
When he was a Jedi, the Mandalorians started to attack Republic territories, but the Jedi
Council didn’t want to get involved.
This angered Revan, who went on to disobey the Jedi Council’s orders and got himself
involved within the Mandalorian wars.
Revan and his friend, Malak, went on to fight and kill multiple mandalorians and basically
win the war for the Republic once Revan killed Mandalore the Ultimate, the leader of the
Mandalorians at the time.
After they finished fighting the Mandalorians, Revan and Malak then went on to solve the
next galactic threat, the emerging Sith Emperor.
But when they confronted him, they both fell to the dark side, with Revan being known as
Darth Revan from then on.
As a sith lord, he started the Jedi civil war and killed multiple Jedi.
He was eventually betrayed by his friend, Darth Malak, and was taught to have been dead.
But he survived, and eventually recovered but with no memory of who he was.
Knowing how powerful he was, the Jedi decided to retrain him as a Jedi so they could use
him in their advantage.
Once retrained as a Jedi, Revan was sent to kill his former friend, Darth Malak.
He succeeded.
After a while, his memories of his past life started to reappear.
This caused him to search for answers, and during this search he was captured by the
sith and kept as a prisoner.
As a prisoner, he was constantly tortured by the Sith Emperor, eventually causing his
mind to split into two halves, the light and the dark.
The dark side of Revan was eventually defeated by the republic and the light side of Revan.
After everything, Revan finally was able to go out in peace as he became one with the
force.
Many people voted for Revan because of how he went out of his way to do what he believed
was right, even if it meant going against the wishes of the Jedi.
His struggle between the light and the dark was also a reason people voted for him.
At number 3, with 1,155 votes, is Galen Marek, also known by his codename Starkiller.
At a young age, Galen was kidnapped by Darth Vader and trained as his secret apprentice.
Once his training was complete, Galen took the codename of starkiller and was sent on
missions to eliminate powerful surviving Jedi.
Unknown to Starkiller at the time, he was just a pawn in Palpatine’s elaborate plot
to weed out rebellious leaders and to expose them.
He did just that, connecting rebel cells and leaders, and indirectly helping create the
Rebel Alliance.
But shortly after the Rebel Alliance’s creation, the leaders were captured by the empire.
Seeing the true intentions of his masters, Starkiller fully turned to the lightside and
became a Jedi.
After recovering from his injuries, he tracked down the kidnapped rebel leaders and fought
his way through the entire death star as he made his way to the emperor’s throne room.
After defeating Darth Vader, Starkiller confronted Emperor Palpatine.
Refusing to join the emperor, starkiller instead sacrificed himself to save the rebel leaders,
and essentially the rebel alliance.
Based on the comments, many people voted for Starkiller because of his sacrifice in saving
the rebel alliance and also because many people just liked playing him in the force unleashed
games.
At number 2, with 1,243 votes, is Ahsoka Tano.
She was the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker during the clone wars, serving as a commander
during the war.
Despite her shaky start as a character during the show, being viewed as annoying and too
childish, she did eventually develop overtime into a fan favorite, becoming almost as iconic
as darth vader and yoda within the fanbase.
Although we haven’t seen her story fully finish due to the cancellation of the clone
wars, her appearance was welcomed in rebels, with her duel against vader being the most
looked forward thing within the show at the time.
Many people voted for her because they got to see her journey as a Jedi, viewing her
as a role model throughout both the clone wars and rebels.
Also many of you seemed to vote for her because you found her attractive.
Before we reveal number 1, we have a few honorable mentions.
First is Qui Gon Jin, who gained 11th place on the list.
A Jedi that usually did things his way, Qui Gon eventually discovered an ability to retain
his identity after death, to which he taught to both Obi wan and Yoda, allowing them to
become force ghosts after death.
Second is Rahm Kota.
Gaining 23rd place on the list, Kota served as Starkiller’s Jedi mentor and was probably
also the inspiration to Kanan Jarrus in Rebels.
Third is Gungi, who gained 14th place on the list.
He was one of the few Wookiee Jedi we’ve seen, and he also had a unique lightsaber
that was made out of wood.
And finally, the youngling who talked to Anakin during the siege on the Jedi temple right
before he and his peers got killed.
His name was Sors Bandeam, and he gained the most write in votes…
well if you exclude harambe, he gained like 60 write in votes.
Now, at number 1, with 3,290 votes, is Obi Wan Kenobi.
Despite becoming a Jedi master and a member of the Jedi Council, Kenobi actually almost
never even became a Jedi Knight due to his early struggles of keeping up with his peers.
But Qui Gon saw potential in him, and took him in as his apprentice, proving to the Jedi
that Obi Wan was someone who could be forged into a strong Jedi.
Once a Master, Obi Wan was considered to be one of the finest Jedi of the Order, and he
was viewed by many fans to be the poster boy of what the Jedi should be.
Someone who was able to control their anger and hatred even when viewing their lover die
right in front of them.
After failing to stop Anakin from falling to the dark side, Obi Wan made it up by introducing
Luke to the light side, and paving his way to ultimately redeeming his former apprentice,
Anakin.
Obi Wan was voted in for his role in defeating Darth Maul, killing General Grievous, and
training Anakin and Luke.
He also was liked for his humor and troll like nature when fighting his opponents, and
for his resilience in staying true to the jedi code even in his hardest moments.
