4 Jedi That Were Secretly More Powerful Than Luke Skywalker (And He Only Met 2 of Them)

by

Luke Skywalker is undoubtedly a strong Jedi, and many consider him the most significant of his time. He’s famous for incredible achievements like destroying the Death Star and facing the Emperor. However, the Star Wars galaxy is vast and the Force is unpredictable. While Luke, as the son of Anakin Skywalker, had immense potential, other Jedi throughout history have demonstrated remarkable and unique abilities. In some cases, these powers were even greater than Luke’s, though he rarely encountered them. These Jedi were true masters, using the Force in ways Luke couldn’t have conceived.

4. Kanan Jarrus

Kanan Jarrus, once known as Caleb Dume, was one of the few Jedi to survive the devastating Order 66. He spent years concealing his true identity. While the Jedi purge ended his formal training under Master Depa Billaba, he discovered a different kind of strength through his experiences. Kanan’s power wasn’t about spectacular lightsaber fights or moving objects with his mind; it came from his ability to bounce back from hardship and his deep connection to the living world around him.

Kanan Jarrus fully embraced his role as a Jedi Master when he began training Ezra Bridger. Losing his sight in a duel with Darth Maul actually deepened Kanan’s connection to the Force, making him more spiritual and aware of the life around him. His final act – using the Force to shield his loved ones from a massive explosion – was a powerful display of selflessness and sacrifice, demonstrating a strength he hadn’t shown before.

3. Sol

I’ve always been fascinated by the High Republic era, and Master Sol is one of my favorite Jedi from that time. He wasn’t about flashy lightsaber skills like some Jedi; his connection to the Force was more… nuanced. It was clear he’d spent his whole life studying and understanding the Force on a really deep level. What really set him apart, though, wasn’t his fighting ability, but how incredibly powerful his mind was.

Sol had an extraordinary ability – with just a touch, he could sense what others were thinking and feeling, and even communicate directly with their minds. It wasn’t just telepathy; it was a deeper connection to the Force. This allowed him to understand people’s true intentions and, remarkably, even soothe their fears. It was a rare and potent skill, one that even Luke Skywalker didn’t possess.

2. Yoda

Yoda was a Grand Master of the Jedi Order and incredibly powerful with the Force, perhaps more so than almost any other Jedi. Despite his small size, he was a skilled lightsaber fighter and had a deep understanding of the Force, even being able to deflect Force lightning. Centuries of devotion to the Jedi path had given him immense wisdom to match his power.

Yoda’s impressive skills, like lifting a heavy X-wing out of a swamp and moving with incredible speed, came from fully embracing the Force. He believed real power wasn’t about physical strength, but about finding balance and inner peace. Yoda had complete control over his feelings, remaining calm even in chaos-something Luke Skywalker often found difficult.

1. Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi was a highly skilled Force user known for his calm and controlled power. Unlike Luke Skywalker, whose abilities were raw and forceful like his father’s, Obi-Wan’s strength came from patience and self-discipline. This was reflected in his lightsaber fighting style – a defensive form that allowed him to conserve energy and strike at the ideal moment.

Ultimately, his greatest ability was becoming incredibly powerful even after death. As a Force ghost, he could advise Luke, offer guidance, and subtly affect the world around him – powers Luke was only starting to grasp later in life. This level of skill went beyond physical limitations and was something Obi-Wan had spent years learning from his own mentor’s spirit; a journey Obi-Wan had paved the way for, and that Luke was just beginning to follow.
