10 Most Powerful Jedi in the 'Star Wars' Universe

As the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, Yoda trained generations of Jedi Knights. His battle meditation, mastery of the Force, and lightsaber duels against Count Dooku and Darth Sidious showed his incredible power.

Even in exile, Yoda guided Luke and remained a symbol of the Jedi.

From a farm boy on Tatooine to a hero of the Rebel Alliance, Luke grew into one of the most powerful Jedi in history. He faced Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, rebuilt the Jedi Order, and in "The Last Jedi" demonstrated Force projection across the galaxy.

From the prequel trilogy to "A New Hope," Obi-Wan embodied the Jedi ideals. He defeated Darth Maul, fought Count Dooku multiple times (but was ultimately defeated in their duels), and ultimately bested Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar.

His wisdom, lightsaber dueling, and ability to become a Force ghost cemented his place among the greatest Jedi.

Before becoming Darth Vader, Anakin was one of the most incredibly powerful Jedi of all time. His raw power, piloting skills, and deep connection to the Force made him unique.

Despite falling to the dark side, as a Jedi he was unmatched in potential.

Once a Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council, Count Dooku turned to the dark side and became Darth Tyranus.

His awe-inspiring lightsaber combat and Force lightning abilities demonstrated the raw power he once used as a Jedi Knight.

A Jedi Master with incredible lightsaber combat skills, Mace Windu developed his own fighting style and demonstrated raw power against Sith lords. He nearly defeated Emperor Palpatine before Anakin intervened.

Few Jedi could match his combination of discipline, strength, and Force abilities.

Introduced in "The Clone Wars," Ahsoka grew from Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice into a true Jedi in spirit, even after leaving the Jedi Order.

She fought Darth Vader in "Star Wars Rebels," stood against Sith lords, and later helped the Ghost Crew during the rise of the Galactic Empire.

Known for his mastery of Form I lightsaber combat and underwater skills, Kit Fisto was a skilled Jedi Master during the Clone Wars.

His agility, charisma, and lightsaber skills made him a fan favorite, though he fell to Darth Sidious in "Revenge of the Sith."

A respected Jedi Council member, Plo Koon discovered Ahsoka Tano and played a crucial role during the Clone Wars. His strong Force sense and wisdom made him a trusted leader until Order 66 ended his life at the hands of clone troopers.

A legendary Jedi Knight from the Old Republic era, Revan fought in the Mandalorian Wars, fell to the dark side under the Sith Empire’s influence but was later redeemed to the light, and wielded both light side and dark side abilities.

His mastery of the Force, lightsaber combat, and ability to overcome Sith Lords and apprentice Malak make him one of the most powerful Force users in "Star Wars" lore.
