Hey everybody and welcome to Leia’s Lair.
In today’s video we will be counting down the Top 10 most powerful Jedi in Canon.
Now I just want to put this disclaimer out here...This
is just our opinion and is based solely on the characters’ canon appearances.
Coming in at number 10, we have Plo Koon. Plo Koon was a Kel Dor Jedi Master who served as a member
of the Jedi High Council. He was known to be incredibly wise, one of the wisest of the order,
as well as unflappably calm. It was this calm and cool demeanor that made him a formidable opponent.
He participated in the battle of Geonosis, and also aided in the destruction of the Separatist
warship, the Malevolence. He was also known to be an exceptionally skilled pilot. However,
Plo Koon’s Force abilities are somewhat limited on screen, and his death was
quite anticlimactic and underwhelming, which leads him to being number 10 on this list.
At number 9, we have Kit Fisto. Kit Fisto was a Nautolan Jedi Master who served as a member of
the Jedi High Council. Fisto was known as an expert swordsman both on and off land having
some of the finest dueling skills in the Jedi Order. He participated in the Battle of Geonosis,
led a successful campaign on Mon Cala and battled many commendable foes such as General Grievous.
Similar to Plo Koon, while he may be an exceptional fighter,
his on-screen Force abilities are rather limited, and his death was
very quick at the hands of Sidious. For that reason he is number 9 on our list.
At number 8, we have Ki-Adi-Mundi. Ki-Adi Mundi was a Cerean Jedi master who served
as a member of the Jedi High Council during the last years of the Galactic Republic.
He was a logical and methodical Jedi Master who was well-known for his wisdom, his noble thinking,
and his courage. Like other Cereans, he was highly intelligent due to his binary brain.
This helped him to become a master tactician during the Clone Wars, during which he led several
successful campaigns. He was a skilled lightsaber duelist, and had extremely quick reflexes.
However, like Kit Fisto and Plo Koon before him, he was not noted for his Force abilities
and while he did put up a noble fight against his clone troopers, his death was rather lacklustre.
Coming in at number 7, we have Mace Windu. Mace Windu was a human Jedi Master from
Haruun Kal. He sat on the Jedi Council, where he served as Master of the Order.
He was known for being the greatest warrior of the Jedi Order, as he was highly skilled in combat.
He was the only known user of Form VII Vapaad that did not fall to the dark side.
It was this fighting style that allowed him to kill bounty hunter Jango Fett and nearly defeat
Chancellor Palpatine. Additionally, he was known for staying true to ancient Jedi traditions, even
when outside influences were strong. He possessed advanced skills in Force abilities, which can be
seen in his Force enhanced reflexes, ability to see the future, and telekinetic prowess.
At number 6, we have Qui-Gon Jinn. Qui-Gon Jinn was a human Jedi Master from Coruscant. He was
known to the council as being particularly radical and for not following the Jedi Code,
if he felt doing so was the right thing to do. While many of the Jedi
Order suffered from corruption, Qui-gon was more free-thinking and free-willed.
He excelled at following his intuition, something that led him to discovering Anakin.
He was skilled in lightsaber combat, but was also highly skilled in using and studying the Force.
What sets Qui-Gon apart from the other jedi thus far on this list,
is that he was the first to learn that life after death is possible for a Jedi
and even trained Master Yoda in this practice. In other words, he was the first immortal Jedi.
Alright looks like we are at the halfway point of our list! Coming in at number 5,
we have Obi wan Kenobi. Obi-wan Kenobi, known also as Ben Kenobi,
was a human Jedi Master from the planet Stewjon. He was on the Jedi Council at
the height of his career. Obi-wan was regarded as one of the greatest swordsmen of his time.
He had plenty of accomplishments, such as defeating Maul as a Padawan, killing General
Grievous and taking down his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker. He was humble, soft-spoken and
unassuming, and was just a class-act through and through. He excelled at using the Force, and while
Qui-gon was the first to learn immortality, Obi-wan was able to master it completely.
Now I know many may argue with me on this one but coming in at number 4,
we have Rey. Rey, was a human female Jedi from Jakku who fought on the side of the
Resistance in the war against the First Order. She was able to master the Force
and lightsaber combat quickly and with very little training. She appeared so
powerful to Luke that he was worried about the potential consequences of training her.
Her accomplishments are plenty, fending off Kylo Ren two times, defeating Snoke’s Praetorian guard,
and of course drawing strength from past Jedi to defeat Sidious. On top of her skills with
the Force and with a lightsaber, she was also a talented pilot and mechanic. While she has
accomplished plenty in her short life, her greatest potential is still unknown.
At number 3, we have Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker was a human Jedi Master
from the planet Tatooine. Though he received very little training,
he became quite proficient in lightsaber combat quickly. His skills would grow
immensely throughout his life, to the point where he would teach multiple students the art.
Like his father, Luke had a very strong connection to the Force. So much so
that Darth Sidious believed that Skywalker was strong enough in the Force to destroy the Sith.
While the majority of his force abilities were self-taught,
he would become very talented, mastering the skill of Force projecting himself,
as he did during the battle of Crait. He has many huge accomplishments throughout his life
such as destroying the first Death Star, rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt and defeating Darth
Vader in lightsaber combat. Keeping all of this in mind, what we think makes him so remarkable was
his ability to complete all these feats and master the Jedi arts even though he started as an adult.
Next at number 2, we have Yoda. Yoda was a Jedi Master of a mysterious species,
from a mysterious planet. He was the Grand Master of the Jedi Order and sat on the Jedi Council.
He was highly skilled in lightsaber combat, battling foes such as Dooku and Sidious. However,
his true strength lies in his intense mastery of the Force.
His many remarkable skills included the ability to absorb and deflect Force lightning,
Jedi mind tricks, Force telekinesis, Force push, and he was even able to cause lightning
to strike as a Force ghost. Outside of his direct abilities in the Jedi arts,
Yoda was also a great teacher. He had a hand in training most Jedi during his life,
and the effects of his existence have reached all corners of the galaxy.
Lastly, at number 1, you guessed it, we have Anakin Skywalker.
Anakin Skywalker was a human Jedi Knight from the planet Tatooine. Conceived by midichlorians,
he had the highest midichlorian count of any Jedi at over 20,000. Therefore, from a young age,
he had a strong affinity to the Force, able to use abilities such as precognition and quick reflexes.
He would grow to have many force abilities but was especially strong in telekinesis.
Anakin was a highly skilled lightsaber duelist and tactician,
leading many successful campaigns during the clone wars, and rarely losing a battle.
He defeated many formidable foes such as Count Dooku and the Son (the living embodiment of the
Darkside) proving he was the Chosen One. As we all know, he ended up falling to the dark side,
but was able to overcome his ties, killing Sidious and fulfilling his prophecy.
Anakin was considered by many to be one of the most powerful Jedi in galactic history.
