Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is finally here and we are all once again able to join Cal Kestis on his quest to stop the Empire from destroying everything in its path as it tries to bring about a new future that really isn’t so wonderful. In honor of this long-awaited release, we thought we’d look at who the most powerful Jedi is in current Star Wars canon. However, we need your help to answer this question.
Do you think Cal Kestis is more powerful than Luke Skywalker? Is Ahsoka actually more powerful than Anakin Skywalker before he turned to the Dark Side? We’ve selected 63 Jedi from the Star Wars universe to “Face-Off” against each other two at a time, and it’s up to you to choose who the most powerful is. Will you pick Plo Koon over Ki-Adi-Mundi? Kelleren Beq over Adi Gallia? The choice is yours…
Oh, and we’ve decided to include those, in film, TV, and video games, who have walked the path of the Jedi at one point in their lives, even if they never finished their Jedi training, never earned the title of Padawan, Knight, or Master, or, in Ahsoka’s case, walked away from the Jedi Order entirely. So yes, this means Grogu is fair game! Also, no Sith are included here (unless they were once Jedi). Sorry, Darth Maul!
(And don’t forget, you can pass on a Face-Off round if you don’t know a character by just hitting “skip” at the bottom of the page.)

What Is a Face-Off?
Like the name suggests, a Face-Off pits two things against one another and you decide which one is the superior of the two. In this case, you are voting to determine which Jedi from current Star Wars canon is the most powerful. It’s possible to see certain characters multiple times, so you can keep voting for your favorites to ensure they get ranked higher than the rest. IGN’s resident team of Star Wars experts pre-selected 63 of the most powerful Jedi for you to choose from. These get randomly paired up, and each time you pick a winner it’s tracked.
How Is the Winner Determined?
When voting ends on May 3, we tally up the total number of “wins” and “losses” each character has, and create a ranked list based on your choices that will be revealed on May 4. The character that won the most matchups will be crowned the “winner,” and in the event of a tied number of “wins,” the character with the least “losses” will take the top spot. If you continue to keep voting for your favorite character, they’ll have a better chance of ranking high on the list. You can vote as many times as you want until the Face-Off closes.
How Do I Know When I’ve Clicked Through Everything?
It’s difficult to know when you’ve seen every Jedi included because they are matched randomly and there are so many possible match-ups. Playing until you vote for all your favorites or ensuring that certain characters don’t get in the winner’s circle are different options you can take with a Face-Off. By deciding the winner throughout all these match-ups, you’re ensuring that your picks for your most powerful Jedi will have a fighting chance to reach the top of the list.
Which Jedi Have Been Included?
The list of the most powerful Jedi included in this Face-Off has been decided by IGN staff, and we’ve tried to include all the most recognizable Jedi from across film, TV, and video games. This includes any character who has walked the path of the Jedi in any part of their lives, even if they eventually turn to the Dark Side. It also includes those who may have never got proper training, earned official Jedi titles, or walked away from the Jedi Order entirely like Ahsoka. So yes, this means Grogu is fair game! For further clarification, we’ve decided to focus this on those who do not fall on the Dark Side of the Force, but, like Anakin and Count Dooku, the people they were before their fateful fall are allowed!
