Who IS the best Jedi knight?
I don't mean the wisest, most powerful Jedi ever.
I mean the Jedi that was a perfect example for the order. Not a master..just a Jedi Knight that followed the Jedi Code...had feelings and was overall the definition of a Jedi Knight.
IMO Obi-Wan Kenobi fits the bill.
What is your thoughts fellas?

Kenobi is a great one. However, he was in love with Siri Tachi, and he nearly turned to the dark side when she died.Voolvif Monn and K'Kruhk are great examples, but they are both masters. But maybe them as knights?
Originally posted by darthsith19So, two good examples of the Dark Side. Both when he was young, still learning. By the time of his ascension to master-hood, he knew what to look out for.
But that was at least the second time he used the dark side, the first being when Qui-Gon died, so no, not so perfect.
He was the perfect jedi. The fact that he question things was good, he did not serve the republic or the jedi order b/c they told him to, but b/c he knew it was right. Kenobi and Yoda served the republic unconditionally just b/c that was the way it was always done. He also learned how to become a force ghost.
id say obi wan represented everything most jedi should aspire to. apart from wisdom and skill, he was patient, unattached enough to try and kill on someone who he considered a brother when the need arose and even as a padawan when his master was killed he was able to pull away from anger and aggression and center himself. not to mention he was about as humble as they come.
other than that id say qui gonn. he had his problems with the council, but it was mostly disagreeing with how rigid they were. he probably trusted in the force more than anyone else. rather than serving a corrupt senate unwaveringly he would do what he thought was right, whether it meant opposing the established order or not. rather than sit back and say "this is how we do things, and this is how things should be" hed just follow the force and changed accordingly. like yoda thought in his fight with sidious (in the novel), the sith had evolved and changed throughout the centuries, the jedi had remained become stagnant and had been left behind. their refusal to change and grow is a weakness qui gonn didnt suffer from. he followed the force, not alot of archaic rules that eventually failed the jedi to the point of near extinction.
I'd have to say that Revan is far from the title. After all, he became the Dark Lord of the Sith, the icon for all things evil.
I stand by Kenobi as my choice. Despite being tempted by the Dark Side and maybe reaching out to use it a few times, Kenobi knew that it was not the right path for anyone and chose to refuse its temptations.
All Jedi face this, though not all succeed.
