Who are the most powerful jedi from the prequal era.

I ask this question because I?m unsure of how powerful the members of the jedi council are, for example why isnt Obi wan on the council in ATOC??

While still a padawan Obi is stronger then QGJ who is powerful enough to be on the council. Obi wan has achieved a lot more on screen & in the eu then any of the other jedi council members. He is described in ATOC as been as powerful as master windu & as wise as master yoda + ki adi mundi was a jedi knight when he became a council member so that cant be the reason for not having kenobi on the council so what is it??

From what ive seen and read I think think that with the exception of mace & yoda that C?Boath, Anakin, Dooku & Obi Wan are more powerful then the other council members. Thoughts??


I also don?t understand the long term, short-term council memberships can anyone help out.

 

Kenobi did alot of bad things in his youth+the council didn't exactly like him taking on Anakin as an apprentice. Ki-Adi-Mundi was much more experienced and as old as Qui-Gon. And defeating Maul doesn't make him more powerful than Qui-Gon. If 2 very strong guys fight each other, one dies, the other is very tired and the weak takes advantage of that, does that mean he's stronger than the on who died? NO. And why do so many people take that one line of Anakin in AOTC so serious? If he's as powerful as Windu he would've captured Jango on Kamino. Powerful Jedi, he is though. And the Clone Wars have only made him more powerful.

 

1) Anakin
2) Yoda

Palps, though not a Jedi, would be up there too.

Obi-Wan and Dooku are both very strong as well.

 

Anakin had the potential but never became stronger than Yoda. The fall into the pit seriously limited his abilities.

 

I'd say Anakin was most poweful. Then Yoda, who kicked some serious butt.

 

1) Anakin (In terms of raw power, Anakin can't be beat, but like others have said, it's really just potential.)

2) Yoda

3) Dooku

4) Mace

5) Qui-gon

 

Revan should be included near the top, definately above Qui-Gon and Dooku

 

"Revan should be included near the top, definately above Qui-Gon and Dooku"

I'd agree with you except it was prequal era, meaning TPM, AOTC & ROTS

 

for example why isnt Obi wan on the council in ATOC??

He is a Council member as of Labyrinth of Evil.

As for power.

Anakin had the most raw power. Yoda had the most refined power.

Mace Windu, Obi-Wan and Plo Koon were also very powerful. I believe Yaddle was also very powerful.

And the new padawan, Whie in Dark Rendezvous is very powerful. At the age of 13 he is already excellent with mind tricks. Like Obi-Wan in A New Hope good.

 

thanks for the input.
Were does C?Boath stand after all he show immense powers in the thrawn trilogy yet he never sat on the council. I?ve just found out from another thread that Mundi snd QGJ are 60 in TPM this answers my question about why obi despite his power, skill and accomplishments was not on the council by ATOC as he?s only 35. My list of jedi are

Anakin (ROTS)
Yoda
Dooku
Mace
Kenobi
Saesee Tinn
Eeth Koth
Piel
Gallia
Rancis
Proof
yaddle
QJG
Koon
Mundi
C?Boath

In combat

Anakin (ROTS)
Yoda
Dooku
Mace
Kenobi
Tinn
Kolar
Sora
Fisto
Shaak
Gallia
Koth
Vos
Secura

 

I always had Mace down as stronger in combat than Dooku.
As for overall power (Combat and force power)
1. Yoda
2. Anakin (ROTS)
3. Mace
4. Dooku
5. Obi-Wan
6. Qui-Gon

 

In saber to saber combat, Dooku is better (he can beat Mace one on one). In a general melee I'd probably go with Windu though.

In terms of power Master Fay from the comics could be up there. She appears near-human but kept herself alive with the Force for hundreds of years. And Obi himself says so.

 

Discussion here seems to be about the AOTC era, rather than the ROTS era, as we have all not seen that film yet.

However, based on AOTC, how can you say Anakin is more powerfull that Mace Windu or Yoda?

After all, all we have seen is Anakin kill some Tusken Raiders, who would not be hard for a mediocre Jedi at best.

Anakin after all, lost to Count Dooku. Yoda defeated Dooku.

Most EU literature places Mace Windu as powerful as Yoda.

I would say:

1) Yoda
2) Mace Windu
3) Obi-Wan
4) Anakin

Yes, Obi-Wan above Anakin. If Anakin fought Jango Fett, I think that the outcome would have been different. Anakin, at this stage would have been too rash and impulsive, and I think he would have just about gotten himself killed.

 

Ok no ROTS. Well as of ATOC I think anakin is already better then kenobi but not mace or yoda. Fay was powerful but she obviously was lacking something to not be on the council. dooku is a soupier duellist then master windu he beat him when they practice duelled in the jedi temple (official site mace windu bio) however mace is probably more suited to fighting in battle, although having seen dooku fry the guardians on kiffu I?m not so sure.
As for QGJ I think near the end of TPM Obi is shown to be more powerful then his master as he senses the lowering of the laserfield first. & In my opinion kenobi didn?t get lucky against maul they could battle 10 times & Obi would always find a way to win.
Is the Jedi council era TPM stronger then the councils in EP 2 + 3?
+ What is with the councils long term/short term member ship?

 

As Of ROTS:

1. Anakin Skywalker
2. Yoda
3. Mace Windu
4. Count Dooku
5. Obi-Wan Kenobi
6. Qui-Gon Jinn

 

I think most of the Council and the Jedi Masters are more powerfull then Anakin at the time of ROTS, he uses the Dark Side to gain and edge on them.

Obi-Wan is probably not much more powerfull then most Jedi Masters, I don't think he will go down as one of the most powerfull Jedi of all time such as Yoda, Mace, Darth Bane et al will.

Out of the thousands of Jedi, the Council members really must be very powerfull, wise and skillfull to be noticed and marked out for the council.

 

Well judging off ROTS would be really tough since we dont know who kills who...

As of AOTC I would rank them:

1)Yoda
2)Mace
3)Dooku
4)Ki-Adi Mundi
5)Plo Koon
6)Even Piell
7)Obi-Wan Kenobi
8)Anakin Skywalker
9)Saesee Tiin
10)Eeth Koth

 

This is how I would rank them, based on natural force talent, experience and lightsaber combat skills.
(As of ROTS)
1) Yoda
2) Anakin
3) Mace
4) Obi- Wan
5) Dooku
6) Qui-Gon
7) Plo Koon
8) Quinlan Vos
9) Kit Fisto
10) Aayla Secura

 

Who are the most powerful jedi from the prequal era?

If we're talking power there are only TWO Jedi to even talk about.

Yoda and Anakin Skywalker.

The rest aren't in the same league.

 

Does Palpatine count?

 

It all depends when you're talking about... At ROTS, my list would probably be:
1) Anakin
2) Yoda
3) Dooku
4) Obi-Wan
5) Mace

I'm also a big fan of Fay... You could argue that Mace is more powerful than Obi-Wan, but I don't think we'll feel that way after seeing episode 3.

 

Now, I've always been a believer of the school that highlights Palpatine as more powerful to Yoda. Lord Vader as well.

Anakin had more raw power. But if you listen to the commentaries on the DVDs GL says Vader isn't as strong as Anakin. Probably due to the amount of midichlorians he loses in RotS. That's why Vader never overthrew Palpatine.

 

Depends how you define "power" I think . . .

You can have raw power like Durron and Skywalker, or you can be skilled, adept at wielding the Force in ways that make you lethal.

A skilled Jedi would beat the stuffing out of an inexperienced Jedi, or plain Jedi veteran. But I guess it's all dependant on the ulterior decider: movie scripts!
