zaphod Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Well the latest greatest poll I have going on the ZaphBlog is about Jedi. Yeah that's right. I have taken the 6 most prolific Jedi and made it so that YOU decide who was the best... The Greatest Jedi Ever It is a tough question to be sure, and it is hard to leave a hatred of Liam Neeson out of the mix, but I digress...

SaintRigger Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I've invented a machine that burrowed into my brain and totally destroyed the synapses for remembering that Episodes 1-3 exist, and the special editions are a bit fuzzy as well. (I left enough to remember that I did it, and to not tamper with it) I'm not sure who Qui-gon, mace and young Anakin are. I'm sure luke can beat them all hands down. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Administrators kit Posted October 12, 2005 Super Administrators Share Posted October 12, 2005 I'm not sure who Qui-gon, mace and young Anakin are. I'm sure luke can beat them all hands down. ;) The father-son Skywalker team eventually brought balance to the force, so must there be only one? And Zaphod, perhaps I'm forgetting details from the regrettable Episode I, but didn't Qui-Gon refuse position on the Jedi Council? I vote Obi-Wan simply because the delivery of the "You were my bother!" line at the end of Ep. 3 is the most believable acting in any of the 6 films. kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 Got me there Kit. I hated Episode I... I felt he had to be included because he was a main character... :) He probably did because of his desire for action and not words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstormhammer Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Best Jedi ever: Obi-Wan Kenobi, as played by Alec Guinness. I like Ewan a lot, but Alec is better. --LSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mengu Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Spoilers follow in case anyone hasn't seen all 6 episodes... Let's see. Qui-Gon, Obi, and Mace were killed by the Sith, not that great. Anakin became the Sith, really not great. That leaves Luke and Yoda. Yoda failed to bring the Sith down and gave up. Luke succeeded in turning one of the Sith to his side. Soo... If greatness was measured by success, Luke would be the greatest Jedi. However, I think Obi Wan is the greatest Jedi because he did not care about success or failure, only that his actions furthered greater good. He was selfless, patient, unattached from earthly desires such as material, power, or relations. He was not the masterful tactician, the powerful warrior, or the wisest advisor. But he was truest to the Jedi code and the Jedi teachings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 None of the above. My vote is for Kyle Katarn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuCulain42 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 And Zaphod, perhaps I'm forgetting details from the regrettable Episode I, but didn't Qui-Gon refuse position on the Jedi Council? If Qui-gon refused a position it was through his actions. To the council he was never offered a position because he was too focused on the moment.

Digital [email protected] Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Best Jedi is a hard one. Everyone loves Yoda, but he was a real git. Here he is a powerful jedi and he just hides away and does not help anyone until Luke comes along. He keeps saying the darkside clouds the future and doesn't do much else. Obi-Wan also goes into hiding instead of helping the rebellion, weak arse punk! Luke wined too much and was played by the emporer. Vader was kick butt, but somehow lost the ability to fight with a lightsaber as he got older. Qui whatever his name is was pretty cool and didn't pansy out, so he probably gets my vote.

Unglef Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I always liked Ki-Adi Mundi 'cause he had a big ole head. My choice from those listed, however, is Obi-Wan Kenobi. Never thought he should've let himself get killed off, though. That has always bothered me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errex Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Obi_Wan, hands down. He was, as noted, not the best at everything, but was the most balanced of them all. And the most humane. Qui-Gon was too irreflexive, and the Council members were a cold, detached lot. The Skywalkers whine a lot, for all their raw power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Landt Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm leaning towards Qui-gon. He accomplished something no other jedi had ever convieved of doing. He found a way to maintain his individuality after re-uniting with the force after his death. The movie only hints at this, when Yoda tells Obiwan that he spoke with an old friend and had some meditation exercises for him or some such. The book goes into WAY more detail on Qui-gon & his discovery. This is how Obi & Yoda can project images of themselves at the end of Episode 6. Who the heck taught Anakin this 'trick' is still up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan6 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Obi-Wan gets my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
