Top 5 Prodigies
Who would you say are the top 5 prodigies, basically who are the top 5 force users with the most potential, disregarding external factors like being able to gain all of the sith/holocrons etc.
e.g I would place Anakin on the list as at the age of 23 he is already one of the most powerful Jedi of all time.
Oh and of course you don't have to do top 5, you can just do however many you desire.
In Legends yeah. I think in canon he was only stated to be one of the finest in the PT Order.
But as for the list-
1. Skywalker bloodline (eg. Anakin, Luke, Leia, and Ben.)
2. Palpatine bloodline (eg. Sheev and Rey.)
After that it's harder to say. I probably wouldn't even put Yoda on my list because the guy had 800+ years of Jedi training under his belt and still couldn't defeat Sidious. So how much of a "prodigy" was he really? Give most other Jedi that long to increase their power and they'd be god-tier.
Consider that Yoda’s species ages differently. When they are fifty they are still a baby. I think that 900 years for some like Yoda=90 years more or less for a human
I see what you're saying, but even if Yoda was a few hundred years old when he entered the Order, it still means he would have been training and studying the Jedi ways for hundreds of years by the time of the PT... So I get where Sheev is coming from.
But like you said: Yoda still had the highest midi-chlorian count among the Jedi until Anakin entered the fray, so he was still a 'prodigy' from that perspective.
