Size matters not!

I'd have to say
Yoda
Luke
Obiwan
Anakin, when he was on the good side.
He was so powerful just that his inner tormoil and anger
got to the best of him

[Gothic_Angelica]

Obi Wan (sp?)

[bookaholic]

I think Luke is the most powerful. Not only has he got some cool moves, he's so good he brings out the best in everyone (think about vader)

Basing things out of the entire expanded Universe, I would have to place Exar Kun. Now he WAS a Dark Jedi, at least he became one anyways.

• Lived 4000 years BBY. (Before the Battle of Yavin IV)
• Created a more efficient lightsaber design that has yet to be improved upon.
• Invented the dual-bladed lightsaber made famous by Darth Maul
• Wanted to study the Dark side and tap into it's power while remaining uncorrupt.
• Killed his Jedi Master before his training was complete.
• Defeated not one, but TWO Dark Lords of the Sith
• Eventually succumbed to the dark side and waged war against the Jedi.
• He was so powerful that he was even able to seal himself inside of the Massassi temples for 4000 years before finally luring Kyp Durron to the dark side and being defeated by Luke Skywalker and the rest of his Jedi Academy.

Look him up, he's pretty badass.

He also got Gantoris, and subjugated the entire population of a planet. And his double lightsaber had a single grip, which was even harder to use than the Darth Maul style one. Not that he needed a ligthsaber at that point.

[C Of K]

He also took Ulic Qel-Droma as his apprentice, a jedi who actually completed his training, unlike Kun.

But I do not think a lot of power makes a good jedi. It does usually make a pretty bad ass jedi, however.

As far as the jedi who has overcome the most adversity, I'd have to say Luke would fit the bill. Of course, that is only because Yoda, and other jedi who have lived for hundreds of years are not nearly featured so often.

However, if you look through the histories, the galaxy does seem to share more years of piece than adversity(or so they say. I think if the extended universe goes on, writers will fill the years with galaxy threatening war. How many sith wars and jedi civil wars have there been already?).

Yet since Luke was declared a full jedi, he has involved himself in adversity year after year. He has no doubt trained more jedi than most masters of the old republic. I don't think he's caught up to Yoda yet, but who has?

I'd go with Luke.

'I met him in a swamp down in dagobah, where it babbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda, s,o,d,a, soda...'

[Joel007]

♪I saw the little runt sitting there on a log... I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda" Y-O-D-A Yoda!♪

[Majimaune]

"Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green Oh, my Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda"

[Feordel]

A lot of people are saying Mace defeated Sidious. But he did not. Palpatine knew Anakin would come, and he had to make it seem as if he was too weak and needed Anakin, just as Anakin needed him. Palpatine could have finished Mace off quite easily, only in the way that he fought could he show Anakin that the jedi were "taking over" as he had been trying to persuade Anakin. Yoda is still more powerful than Mace, but Sidious had nothing to hide when he fought yoda. Sidious wanted to eliminate Yoda, Anakin had to be instrumental in Mace's death for his transition. At least this is my opinion.
The best Jedi? Obi Wan and Yoda, Plo Koon also- simply because he looks cool!

[Majimaune]

Isn't there a jedi (can't remember the name) that is more powerful then any. He is in one of the books.

[Joel007]

Kyp Durron, for sheer raw power, although he can't really be compared to Vader.
