There's no single definitive strongest, but Darth Sidious (Palpatine) is often cited as the most powerful Sith for his manipulation and mastery of the Dark Side, while Luke Skywalker (especially in Legends) is frequently named the strongest Jedi due to his immense Force potential and feats, with Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader close behind for his "Chosen One" status and power. Other top contenders include Sith like Darth Vitiate and Jedi like Yoda, with power depending on whether you prioritize raw power, influence, or skill.
Lucas has said several times that Sidious was the most powerful Sith. Anakin/Vader had the potential to be the most powerful force user of all time but he never lived up to it. Legends grand master Luke is probably the most powerful Jedi.
1. Luke Skywalker. Force Abilities: Telekinesis, The Jedi Mind Trick, Similfuturus, Levitation, Force Projection. Luke is indeed one of the strongest Jedi Knights who faced high-ranked menacing Sith lords Vader and Emperor.
Out of those 4 Sidious was the most powerful. He was strong in the force but his ability to manipulate a entire galaxy into crowning him, a Sith Lord, as Emperor and giving him absolute rule over a entire galaxy. He was the only one to achieve the main goal of the Sith, Galactic Dominance.
I genuinely believe ahsoka was one of yoda's favourite Jedi ever!!!
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve poignant sacrifice, broken relationships, or innocent lives lost, with fan favorites including Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for his family), Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love, brutally killed by Maul), Clone Trooper 99 (innocent loyalty and tragic end), Tech (sacrifice for his squad), Padmé Amidala (heartbreak and loss of hope), and Han Solo (fatherly tragedy). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' potential, or the deep impact on other heroes.
Darth Maul is the weakest. Bane was strong : he killed all the Sith and lots of Jedi.
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.
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.
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.
Furthermore, a human Jedi trained by Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh fell to the dark side of the Force and abandoned the Jedi Order, keeping himself out of Rwoh's reach. The individual, who claimed to have no name and thus became known as "the Stranger," became a Sith as the apprentice to Plagueis.
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.
The fight itself is a draw, but Yoda turns it into a victory for Sidious by retreating (because they are evenly matched and there is nothing more he can do then and there).
Darth Vectivus. He basically got all the power he wanted and then retired to live with his family and friends and died peacefully, none of the Sith backstabbing. Vergere is potentially another (although I'm still pissed at the retcon of her being Sith).
History. A dark side warrior with a mysterious past, Kylo Ren was neither Jedi nor Sith, but a product of both sides' teachings. Once an apprentice of Luke Skywalker's, he killed his fellow students and drove Skywalker into exile, becoming a First Order warlord and servant of Supreme Leader Snoke.
A Gray Jedi is a Force wielder who chooses to walk a path between the Light and Dark Sides, rejecting the absolutes of the Jedi and Sith Orders. Unlike the Sith, who embrace darkness, or the Jedi, who shun it, Gray Jedi strive for inner balance, seeing the Force as a whole rather than a divided power.
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.
When comparing Darth Vader's Jedi kill count to other Sith Lords like Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, or Count Dooku, Vader arguably holds the highest body count. While Sidious orchestrated the Jedi Purge, it was Vader who became the primary executor on the ground, relentlessly hunting Jedi for over two decades.
It's pretty clear that Dooku is meant to be a step above Maul. The only edge Maul has is durability and raw explosive physicality due to being much younger but it's not something Dooku wouldn't handle IMO. If Episode 1 Obi and Season 7 Ahsoka can outplay Maul then what hope does he have against Dooku?
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
Revenge of the Sith
Palpatine explains that Plagueis was so powerful and wise, he had mastered the dark side of the Force to such an extent that he could cheat death (mostly saving people he cared about from death) and create life; unnatural abilities which are unknown to the Jedi.
