Star Wars: 10 Most Powerful Jedi - Ranked
5. Mace Windu
The creator of Form VII lightsaber combat, and regarded as the greatest ever lightsaber duellist, Mace Windu held the position of Master of the High Council, before giving the title to Master Yoda.
Windu was a ruthless strategist, and devout follower of the Jedi Order; he often felt uneasy about the Republic's interference in Jedi affairs, and never truly trusted Chancellor Palpatine, despite Palpatine using the Dark Side to obscure the Jedi's vision in the Force. Windu was the only practitioner of Form VII combat who did not fall to the Dark Side, and he refused Anakin SKywalker's request to study the Form, as he sensed too much anger in Skywalker.
Towards the end of his life, Windu led a team of Jedi Masters to arrest Chancellor Palpatine on the charge of being a Sith Lord - Windu survived longer than his three counterparts, and eventually bested Palpatine in lightsaber combat.
