I think it would be interesting and helpful if we were to develop a ranking tier system, as in the Comic Vs. forum, to place the more established characters into.
It would be a challenge to anyone who attempted, and nobody could get it all right on their own, but I think the KMC SWEU community could make a great attempt that would produce a great guide for people who are just getting into SWEU, or are just interested.
There are certainly different criteria that we could use to judge, like: Force power, force mastery, lightsaber skill, versatility, etc., but I assert that an overall Combat Prowess be what we measure here, as that would include aspects of all aforementioned criteria, but more importantly showcasing those said criteria in a combat setting, as this is a Vs forum.
Skybreaker attempted something slightly similar to this recently, and I found it disappointing that not a single other poster attempted to rank as the OP intended. I hope the unwillingness was not caused by a lack of knowledge, but we shall see.
The template I had in mind, again, following Comic Vs's lead, would be like:
God Tier: Abeloth, The Ones
Grand Master Tier: Luke Skywalker, Darth Sidious, Yoda
Master: Corran Horn, Kyle Katarn, Lumiya, Mara Jade
High Knight: Leia, Ben Skywalker, Cilghal, Jaden Kor, etc.
Anyway, that's just a basic start, but any input is welcome and attempts to recreate what I had in mind are certainly encouraged. Feel free to change/make more sensible rankings if you prefer.

Meh IDK. One of the problems with Comicvine is that there's too much of an established norm.

I refrenced the Comic Vs tier in my OP a couple times, as I really enjoy utilizing it. Having a SW one would be great.

I've been waiting for a thread like this. It's a very good idea to be able to rank the sw characters and I was always wondering why a list was never created.
I have never been to Comic Vine, so I hope you don't think I was referencing it. I was talking about the KMC Comic Vs. Ranking Thread many users contributed to create.
Edit: Spelling hard.

Well, there's different degrees of details. I tend to break things down into more levels.
For me, there's exceptional beings (the One etc.)
Luke Tier (Luke)
Top Tier Grand Master/Dark Lord (Sidious/Yoda/Caedus/Vitiate/etc.)
Grand Master / Dark Lord (Malgus Krayt Satele Exar Jaina Windu Exar Dooku etc.)
High Council (Kenobi Katarn Shaak Ti Plo Koon Nihl Mara jade Sebatyne)
Mid Council (Sazen Kolar Tiin Solusar Azard etc.)
High Jedi/Sith Warrior (Quinlan Aayla Bultar Aurra Piell etc.)
Mid Jedi/Sith Warrior (Ahsoka, Zayne Carrick, Ben Skywalker, etc...)
Low Jedi/Sith Warrior (Tends to be a phase characters tend to pass through rather than stay at. Early series Ahsoka, for example).
Rank and file Jedi/Sith.
Below council I dispensed with master/knight, because too many of the examples of good warriors are knights who are not-yet-promoted, too many of the lower rank ones are masters promoted for non-combat reasons, etc..
And I don't have a separate low-council because while the best combatants of councils tend to stand above the rest of their orders, the ones who are on the council for their combat skills, but at the bottom of that bunch, tend to not necessarily stand above good warriors outside the council.
Heck, for that matter, I think I could also break up Dark Lord into the strong of them, often those with special cheats, (Exar/Reborn Krayt/etc.) and the more normal ones (Dooku, Armored Krayt, Ulic, Malak)....
High Jedi/Sith Warrior: Quinlan, Aayla, Bultar, Aurra, Piell, Ventress
Mid Jedi/Sith Warrior: Ahsoka, Zayne Carrick, Ben Skywalker, Leia, Scout
Low Jedi/Sith Warrior
I put Luke with the others because I think he is in their tier; He is just the best in the top tier.

Ah, Saba would be tier 3, Mara Jade maybe the lower end of tier 3, Corran Horn tier 4, or high end of tier 4, and Thanaton and Eeth Koth tier 5
