The Star Wars franchise has introduced countless powerful Jedi, wielders of the light and dark sides of the Force who have demonstrated their skills in phenomenal feats of power. The most famous of these are, of course, the Skywalkers – Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke, stars of George Lucas' saga. But, as the franchise has expanded across the timeline, many other powerful Jedi have been introduced in the different mediums.
It is, of course, very difficult to compare different Jedi in terms of power level. As Master Yoda observed in The Empire Strikes Back, wars do not make one great – and nor do feats. The Jedi themselves venerate wisdom above raw power, meaning the likes of Jocasta Nu are far more highly revered among their number than heroes like Anakin Skywalker. Some Jedi hail from species with longer life-spans than humans, meaning they have had more time to cultivate their gifts. And then, of course, there is the will of the Force and simple luck – the factors that mean a less competent duelist can successfully beat a more powerful Jedi in a duel. Still, going from what has been seen to date, here's a ranking of 30 major Jedi from weakest to most powerful.
