In Legends, Luke Skywalker was the undisputed most powerful Jedi to have ever lived in our knowledge, surpassing Yoda.
After a short amount of training with Luke Skywalker, Grogu's true powers were shown, and he could even rival Master Yoda's, making him one of the most powerful Jedi, but also the one with the most potential. Grogu began his Jedi training and did well, despite his heart not truly being in it.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
One of the main reasons why Yoda would've won against Anakin is simply because he was far better trained than him. Yoda could see the moves his opponents were going to make before they made them; therefore, battling against Anakin would've put him at a far heavier advantage.
Plo Koon did once. In the game The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, it is mentioned by Skywalker that Plo once beat Yoda himself in a duel. "I've heard you're one of the only Jedi to have ever beaten Master Yoda in a duel." Will Grogu make his own lightsaber or will he use Yoda's in the Mandoverse?
Chancellor Palpatine was, in truth, Darth Sidious, Sith Lord. Yoda confronted Sidious in the heart of the Senate chambers. This erupted into an intense duel between these masters of the Force, a fight that Yoda ultimately lost and was forced to flee.
Aside from agility and telekinesis, Yoda could absorb and redirect Force attacks, like lightning. Because of his higher understanding, he would easily overcome Darth Vader in a fight, though that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a difficult battle.
In Star Wars Legends and Canon, Galen Marek (Starkiller) is the only Jedi (other than Obi-Wan Kenobi) to put a beat down on Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. Galen was secretly trained as a Sith Lord apprentice to Vader, but returned to the light side and the Jedi.
More cunning and devious than all but the most attuned Force-sensitive beings, Darth Bane could more than likely defeat Yoda in a battle of both strength and wit.
While Darth Vader and Jedi Master Yoda never fought in the official Star Wars canon, an alternate timeline from Dark Horse Comics pitted them together with a rather unexpected ending. Similar to Marvel's What If...?
Biography. Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo.
The very first Jedi in Star Wars canon is a nameless figure known as the Prime Jedi. He was likely the builder of the first Jedi Temple on Ahch-To, seen in The Last Jedi. According to the Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary, the mosaic of stones in the chamber of the Temple depicts the Prime Jedi.
1 Darth Sidious
There has been no Sith, as powerful, meticulous, nor as evil as the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. As previously mentioned, Sidious trained in the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis before Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, making Sidious a Sith Master.
If Qui-Gon had survived his fight against Darth Maul, he would have sensed Palpatine's evil, and Anakin wouldn't have become Darth Vader. Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than Yoda, Palpatine feared him more.
Yoda still stands as one of the most powerful characters in Star Wars, yet even he couldn't defeat Palpatine. After their battle in Revenge of the Sith, Yoda felt beaten and fled into exile on Dagobah, where he hid away for 19 years.
Arguably, Qui-Gon is wiser in some ways, given that he knows how to preserve his consciousness in death. Yoda is wise, but sometimes flawed, given that some of his views align with the problematic thinking of the Jedi of this era.
Unwilling to see his son die, Vader gave his life to save Luke, thereby dying as Anakin Skywalker. Anakin ultimately fulfilled his role as the Chosen One and brought balance to the Force, fulfilling Qui-Gon Jinn's belief in the prophecy that foretold Anakin's destiny.
Yoda was a legendary member of the Jedi Council as a Grand Master of the Jedi Order and member of a mysterious species capable of living for centuries. He was stronger than most in a connection to the Force and though he was small in size, he'd been so powerful and wise having had trained Jedi for several centuries.
Anakin Skywalker was a living vergence in the Force, and as Darth Vader he was a force to be reckoned with. But was he more powerful than Luke? As powerful as Darth Vader may be in Star Wars, he pales in comparison to his son, Luke Skywalker.
Darth Vader defeats Darth Maul. The two Sith Lords engaged in a lightsaber duel, going through the volcano and onto a bridge situated over a river of lava, which collapsed, though they both survived and continued their battle.
After all, SOMEBODY had to train Luke in order to defeat Darth Vader and the rest of the Empire. So how many Jedi died during the attack? Almost 10,000—meaning that only 0.2% of Jedi survived.

Grandmaster Yoda himself was capable of summoning force lightning in the form of Emerald Lightning. Galen Marek was an extremely skilled user of this Force power, even after his conversion to the light side, rivaling Darth Sidious.
Thanos wields more power and authority than Darth Vader, existing as a stronger and more capable villain overall.
Kylo and Rey (Daisy Ridley) also blasted the Imperial Crusier open trying to Force pull the Lightsaber away from each other, so clearly, Kylo Ren is an extremely strong Force-wielder. Nonetheless, it can be said that Darth Vader is the more powerful master of the Force for one key reason: his temperament.
