Yoda and Kenobi were the wisest and greatest Jedi of the PT era. Windu was too closed minded Imo.I guess Luminara had that wise and calm presence to her.
Vos was an idiot who was more interested in screwing Ventress than helping the Jedi.
and what happened to the jedi under their wise leadership during order 66 ?

if they were wise they would have considered the possibility of the clones turning on them, esp since they were told the republic is ruled by a sith lord. its called prescience, foresight, judgment
regarding wisdom
"Hitler rejected Guderian's proposal. The armored divisions would operate as components of the rest of the offensive. In fact, they would mostly be under the senior command of infantry generals who had more conservative ideas about tank warfare. Guderian's disgust was greatly aggravated by the fact that he had grave doubts that an attack on the USSR was wise, and few doubts that it would be very difficult. "
Heinz Guderian did not think Hitler was wise to attack the Soviet Union.
how did that turn out for hitler?
i didnt write this but worth mentioning

The 9 Least Competent Jedi
9) Everyone on the Jedi High Council During the Prequels
The Jedi have faced many threats over the millennia, from Sith, to Mandalorians, to more Sith. But no one Jedi High Council managed to let the Republic get more ****ed up than Yoda, Mace Windu, Saesee Tinn, and the other Jedi during the prequel trilogy. Failing to notice the return of the Sith? Check. Allowing the Separatist movement to start? Check. Refusing to train the most powerful potential Jedi in millennia? Check. Missing the creation of a giant clone army? Check. Constantly shitting on the overemotional teenaged version of the most powerful potential Jedi in millennia thus ensuring he has every reason to hate Jedi? Big check. Allowing the galaxy to erupt in civil war? Check. And most importantly, never noticing that the most powerful Sith in the galaxy has been sitting like three blocks away for almost a decade? Check and mate. The Jedi High Council of the prequels managed to get every single thing they did wrong, thus ensuring the rise of the Empire and every death that occurred in all six Star Wars movies. No wonder Luke didn’t listen to you on Dagobah, Yoda. Sure, you can lift an X-Wing out of a swamp, but at least Luke can recognize a bad guy when he sees him.

The High Council has plenty of more dumb feats to their name.
In their long-standing tradition of pissing off the most powerful Jedi in a millenia, they ignored Anakin and expelled Asohka Tano when it was clear she was framed.
Couldn't understand what Barriss Offee clearly saw: They were pawns for the Sith and the entire Order had become corrupt.
They refused Anakin's promotion to Master just because Palpatine wanted it, not because he totally earned throughout his Clone Wars exploits.
Without informing the Senate, the Clone Troopers, the Coruscant PD, anyone, they only sent in three Jedi to arrest the Sith Lord who's been running the entire government for the past 15 years. So when those three failed, the Jedi were easily wiped out without anyone knowing Palpatine's secret.
They employed thousands of troops that Sifo-Dyas secretly ordered, without even checking with the Kaminoans or like, anyone if they had any secret executive orders implanted.
Finally, too many meetings. Way too many meetings. They probably couldn't sense danger because they were too busy updating their Outlook calendars.

BLOWS IT, YODA DOES: Here's what I learned when I watched the original 'Star Wars' movies for the first time in 10 years

Blows it, Yoda does. If you really want to know whose fault it is that the Old Republic and its democratic ways get tossed aside in favor of the Empire that Luke and Leia have to rebel against, look no further than Yoda.
Supposedly the wisest of all Jedi, he couldn't sense that the Republic's most power-hungry senator, Palpatine, was actually a Dark Lord. Palpatine gains power by putting his apprentice, Count Dooko, in charge of a group of rebels. Then he asks the senate for an army of Stormtroopers to defeat the rebels. Yoda not only goes along with it, he leads the Stormtroopers into battle.
