While rankings vary, Anakin Skywalker (due to his unmatched potential as the Chosen One), Grand Master Yoda (for his wisdom and mastery), and Luke Skywalker (especially post-ROTJ as a Grand Master) are consistently named the most powerful Jedi, often debated for the top spot, with Anakin having raw power, Yoda immense knowledge, and Luke mastering projection and legacy. Other top contenders include Mace Windu for dueling and Revan for complex power.
20 Most Powerful Jedi in Star Wars, Ranked
Most Jedi who climbed the ranks ended their careers as a Jedi Master. But one final rank — the Jedi Grand Master — was held by the one considered to be the wisest of the Jedi Masters. During the prequel era, Yoda was the Grand Master of the Jedi Order.
The 10 Most Powerful Star Wars Characters Ranked
By Lucas's own admission from back in 2005 (Vanity Fair Interview) Grandmaster Luke is twice as powerful as Sidious was at the peak of his power. Sidious in ROTS, so, before he even reached that peak, was already powerful enough to beat Yoda, who sits on top of the power scale on the council.
So, this proves that Yoda is far more stronger than Sidious or Mace Windu. It was because of his smaller stature that he was flung back farther and harder. So, instead of killing Sidious like Mace tried to do, he decided he would train another someday to finish his journey of killing Sidious.
Luke's discipline and commitment to the Jedi way make him more powerful than Anakin in their primes.
Yoda's Role as a Teacher and Mentor
As the Jedi Order's greatest mentor, he trained generations of Jedi, ensuring their values endured through peace and war alike. Over his 900 years, Yoda trained countless Padawans, including Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Luke Skywalker.
He resigned himself to his defeat until he could train someone more powerful to do what he could not. So to summarise, Yoda was not the strongest Jedi. He was about equal to Dooku, and slightly weaker than Mace Windu and Palpatine.
I genuinely believe ahsoka was one of yoda's favourite Jedi ever!!! : r/StarWars. Unofficial community for Star Wars, an American epic space opera franchise, created by George Lucas and centered around a film series that began with the eponymous 1977 movie.
From slaughtering younglings in the Jedi Temple to tracking down survivors across decades, Vader killed dozens of Jedi, both directly and through the Inquisitorius. Canon sources estimate 50–60 Jedi slain, while Legends materials raise the count to over 100, cementing Vader's legacy as the ultimate Jedi executioner.
The Lost Twenty, also known as the The Lost, was a name given to the group of twenty Jedi Masters who left the Jedi Order throughout its history. According to Yula Braylon of the Jedi High Council, the Lost Twenty became disillusioned with the Jedi way of life.
One of the most controversial and divisive characters in the Star Wars saga, Jar Jar Binks is often cited as the weakest Jedi of all time.
Best Jedi Ever
After his fall Vader is stronger, but his hate bolstered that power while the suit limited what he could actually do. Ahsoka is no where near his league. In the old EU Luke was more powerful than Anakin. In the Disney Star Wars universe, Luke may be the only force user that can come close to Anakin.

The clone commando RC-1136, known as Darman Skirata, got Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan pregnant during the Clone Wars, resulting in their son, Venku Skirata, a Force-sensitive child born outside the Jedi Code's restrictions. Their forbidden relationship and child's birth were detailed in the Republic Commando novels, highlighting the complexities of clone troopers' development and the strictures of the Jedi Order, as Etain was killed shortly after Order 66 while protecting her family.
Windu has created and fully mastered Vaapad, a variant of Form VII. Yoda mastered the original variant known as Juyo. Both of them were able to fight with Palpatine on equal ground, matching him blow for blow. It is stated that Yoda beat Mace in a sparring match.
Anakin Skywalker at Max potential during the Mortis Arc of the Clone Wars who literally subdued The Son and The Daughter who are basically the Light and Dark Side itself. No other Jedi or Sith has even come close to a feat like that in the entire series.
Though Star Wars canon cites no specific illness or fatal saber wound, it is widely accepted that Jedi Master Yoda died of old age. Some fans, however, speculate there may have been more at play—whether a purposeful letting go, a spiritual exhaustion, or even a final act of guidance to propel Luke toward his destiny.
