Top 5 Jedi/Sith of all time

I tried to find a thread for this but the only one I found is an old top ten list. Is there a general consensus on who the top 5 Jedi and Sith of all time are while trying not to be biased towards favourite characters?

1. Such a thing would be pointless given the fact that newer characters will always be made who will be more powerful than the last.
2. Wrong forum.

Now who wants to hear a story about a bridge?

There's a consensus on a few, but not necessarily their order, and others are disagreed upon.

This type of stuff normally goes http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f6/ btw.

Holy shit, the top tier Jedi is actually pretty shallow. After Luke, Yoda and even the HoT the last two spots are up for grabs out of 5 or 6 solid choices.

Yea, basically the Jedi tend to go for weird semi-unique powerups and abilities less often, so they tend to collect around a natural 'grand master' level.

Thank you, much appreciated. I agree, the top tier of Jedi does seem shallow. I myself can at least vaguely order the strongest sith lords, but when I think of the Jedi, peak Luke and Yoda come to mind and then I really have to think about the rest. Jedi don't really stand out that much in terms of power

Revan, Windu, HoT, Barsen'thor, Exile, Jacen Solo etc. are all powerful characters and would manage to defeat most sith. However, I agree that Sith top 10 list is vastly superior to Jedi top 10.

1. Luke
2. Sidious
3. Yoda
4. Plagueis
5. Jacen

Top 5 Jedi:
1. Luke Skywalker
2. Yoda
3. Jacen Solo
4. Hero of Tython
5. Revan

Top 5 Sith:
1. Darth Sidious
2. The Sith Emperor
3. Darth Nihilus
4. Tulak Hord
5. Darth Plagueis

Jedi:
Luke Skywalker
Yoda
Hero of Tython
Revan
Mace Windu

Sith:
Darth Sidious
Darth Caedus
Darth Plagueis
Vitiate
Darth Bane

Sith

The Emperor
Darth Caedus
Darth Plagueis
Darth Vader
Darth Tyranus

What exactly are we basing this on? Top 5 in terms of power? Or overall combat ability?

Overall everything.

That's way too vague. Overall everything, Morrhage almost solo'd the entire Jedi order with his plague. How does that factor in?

How do you average every statistic out to calculate a final score? How do you factor in potential, power, achievements, saber prowess, mellifluousness, height, Pickpocket skill, dreaminess, persuasiveness, and speed-chugging on $1 beer night?

What's the algorithm, you f*cks?

I know it's vague but basically this. In terms of combat I suppose. Were so and so to meet so and so in a dark alley, they fight, who is the best.

Yeah, sorry carthage but Vader & Dooku (and also even TCW Maul) are not top tiers, they are close though.
