5 most powerful Jedi & Sith Lords

Originally posted by Gideon
Ranking the Jedi and Sith in terms of power is an impossibly difficult task, even if you subscribed to a comprehensive analysis of canon. There are certain placements, however: Darth Sidious has displayed a far greater command of and strength in the dark side of the Force than any other Sith Lord in history; his status as the most powerful Lord of the Sith is documented by numerous sources. The RotS novelization regards Yoda as "the most devastatingly powerful foe the darkness had ever known" -- making it quite clear that, as of the prequel trilogy, he is more powerful than any Jedi before him.

You have individuals such as Luke Skywalker, who has, at various times, demonstrating a command of the Force on par with or surpassing Yoda or Sidious, yet aren't given any accolades by proper sources. Jacen Solo is someone who hasn't truly demonstrated a great destructive or offensive power, but has been cited by various sources as "second only to Luke" in terms of strength in the new Jedi Order (putting him above Force titan Kyp Durron), wielding power that has "even surpassed his grandfather, Darth Vader" (a Sith Lord whose potency was 80% of Palpatine's own), and "the most powerful of the Sith Lords."

The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia credits Exar Kun and Darth Plagueis as being two of "the most powerful" Sith Lords in history, despite -- in the case of the latter -- having no feats to his name. Marka Ragnos is another highly regarded and feared Sith Lord despite nothing to gauge his powers on. Other than that he was the most powerful of the ancient Sith.

Individuals like Count Dooku seem to possess a greater refined skill than any true raw strength; Yoda cited him as the Temple's greatest and most learned student and the RotS novelization regards him as "one of the most powerful Jedi in the Order's 25 thousand year history" and "an even greater Lord of the Sith," suggesting an incredibly high placement. Darth Vader seems to possess great telekinetic skill and incredible raw strength, being 80% of Sidious in terms of power and possessing a greater command of the Force than Kar Vastor (who is regarded as being on par with Yoda and Anakin; Emperor's Hand Cronal regarded Vastor's connection to the Force as "astonishingly powerful"😉.

In short, it's really hard. What is certain is pretty much only that Sidious is the most powerful Sith ever.

Galen "defeated" Sidious in the game. But the novel (the higher canon), and Starwars.com both state that ultimately Starkiller was unable to overcome the Emperor's powers (to paraphrase). And Palpatine's power only increases between TFU an DE.

Lightsaber skill and Force prowess are not interchangeable terms. Kas'im is arguably one of the best swordsman to have ever lived, but that does not mean his telekinetic mastery, or Lightning proficiency is the best ever. Obi-Wan is the greatest defensive swordsmen ever, but he was gripped and hucked away with one motion by Dooku. Sword skill=/=Force skill.

Mace defeating Yoda in a sword battle is another story entirely.

EDIT: I'm also wondering where Bane and Caedus are on your list, and why the likes of the Unknown Plagueis and Revan are above them.

It's like you intentionally make yourself impossible to understand.

Yeah, let's see... Revan is definitely NOT ahead of Yoda, Plo Koon... well... just never mind... you're not worth the effort.

just ranking
*the family of the force
*tusken jedi clan
*hetts
*revan
*yoda
*skywalkers
*solos
*mace and his padawon
*sahdett or plo koon(and anyone below)
not in order

i think anakin skywalker should be in the top 5 jedi, he had become extremely powerful right before his turning to the dark side

While I like Hett, A'Sharad doesn't belong on a 'most powerful Jedi' list, he's just one of the CW Jedi order's several badasses. It's when he turns Sith or, better yet, when he's reborn, that he gets uber.
