14 Most Powerful Characters In Star Wars Movies

3. Yoda

Yoda is universally regarded as one of the most powerful Force users to ever live, and honestly, would you expect anything less from the Grand Master of the Jedi Order?

Though Yoda is initially introduced to audiences as an aged-out sage who serves as Luke's mentor, the prequels revealed just quite how adept a combatant he was, with his battle against Count Dooku proving his height didn't remotely disadvantage him when the time called for it.

There's no better evidence of Yoda's influence throughout the galaxy than the fact that he at least partially trained Count Dooku, Mace Windu and Obi-Wan in addition to Luke. Plus, he could absorb Force lightning from both Dooku and Sidious, and pulled the near-unprecedented feat of becoming a Force ghost in death.

There's a reason Yoda's words and actions are among the most memorable in the entire Star Wars franchise: the little green guy is a physical and intellectual powerhouse.
