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
DARK SIDE FRIDAY - Did you know Palpatine feared Qui-Gon Jinn? Palpatine was immensely powerful and he could see the future which made him very confident about pretty much anyone who stood against him. So why Qui-Gon Jinn?
The latest Star Wars tie-in novel confirms Qui-Gon Jinn was the one Jedi who could have stopped Palpatine and even saw his plans in action. Star Wars has confirmed Qui-Gon Jinn was the one Jedi who could have thwarted Palpatine's plans.
Whilst Jocasta wasn't exactly known for skills with a lightsaber or the Force, she did sit on the Jedi High Council at one point, and Palpatine feared her because of her knowledge.
The reason why Qui-Gon Jinn is the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy is because he had seen everything that would unfold throughout the Skywalker Saga in a vision of the future, sacrificing himself to ensure the fulfilling of the Chosen One prophecy.
We are just barely seeing a 600-something-year-old Yoda in the High Republic era. And given that Qui-Gon Jinn dies in 32 BBY, a fight beyond that point would be pointless since, as a Jedi spirit, Jinn would arguably be stronger than the still physically alive Yoda.
Qui-Gon was ultimately defeated by a move that can only be done with a double-bladed lightsaber as Darth Maul used the handle of the weapon, striking Qui-Gon physically on the chin, stunning him for just long enough to deliver the killing blow.
Jedi Master Yoda is the most powerful of them all. This should come as no surprise, as he was the head of the Jedi Order in the prequels and was revered for his abilities during the original trilogy. Yoda's power is unmatched and was a real threat to Darth Vader and the Imperials.
As powerful as Darth Sidious may have been, it's easy to forget he actually seemed afraid of Master Yoda. As seen in Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine initially thought he could deal with the aged Jedi Master - and then, when Yoda proved able to counter the Sith Lord's Force lightning, he fled.
Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, and Agen Kolar confronted Chancellor Palpatine upon learning of his secret identity as a Sith Lord.
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%.
As the grandson of Anakin Skywalker (on his mother's side), one of the most powerful Force users in the galaxy, Kylo Ren has the appropriate bloodline to destroy Palpatine. It was a redeemed Anakin Skywalker who killed Palpatine the first time, and the same midi-chlorians flow through Ren's veins.
In Luke Skywalker's confrontation with Palpatine during The Return of the Jedi, he tells the Emperor that his overconfidence is his weakness. That turns out to be true as Palpatine takes too long trying to kill the young Jedi, which gives Darth Vader...
It's implied that this isn't feigning and Palpatine is actually fighting to win. In the book its implied that he allows Mace to move him and make certain moves, however this is a not uncommon dueling tactic, waiting for openings and surprising an opponent.
That said, Vitiate, sometimes better known as the Sith Emperor, is often thought to have been stronger than Darth Sidious thanks to his mastery of the Dark Side of the force which granted him a ridiculously long life.
Neither lightsabers nor the Force could help Yoda defeat Darth Sidious. Though Yoda was able to keep his adversary on his toes, he was unable to end the conflict, and their duel ended with no clear victor.
While Palpatine plotted in the shadows and planned his Galactic Empire, he underestimated Yoda. And even when Yoda discovered Palpatine's true nature, Yoda underestimated his power.
A Dark Yoda? Yes, one of the most powerful Jedi to ever hold a lightsaber, briefly allowed himself to be susceptible to the Darkside. In the 2004 novel, Star Wars: Yoda – Dark Rendezvous, Master Yoda agreed to meet with his old padawan, Count Dooku, who was now a Darkside apprentice to Darth Sidious.
Ahsoka Had the Highest Kill Count of the Clone Wars
Ahsoka is known for being one of the more pacifistic Jedi, to the point where she refused to kill any Clones during Order 66. But when it comes to destroying battle droids, Ahsoka is far in the lead with a staggering 4 million kills throughout The Clone Wars.
