My Top Jedi: Anakin, Ahsoka, and Their Importance

I often find myself reminiscing about some of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars galaxy. In this article, I dive into my personal top ranking of Jedi and why they hold such a special place in my heart.

A Legacy Filled with Favor

Before diving into my top picks, it's important to acknowledge that many fans have their own preferences when it comes to ranking the Jedi. However, I am not just a casual fan; I see each character as a reflection of a specific quality or trait that I admire deeply. Among my favorites, Anakin Skywalker takes the top spot, but believe none of these are optional in my heart. Let's explore their stories.

5. Luke Skywalker

It's hard not to place Luke near the top, given the iconic nature and the emotional connection he holds for many.

Why Luke?

He embodies the virtues of humility, hard work, loyalty, courage, and charisma. His journey from a farm boy to a revered Jedi is nothing short of miraculous. Despite his flaws and personal struggles, he never loses sight of his principles.

It is a pity that his story took a different turn later in life, but it does not diminish the admiration I have for him as a character.

4. Plo Koon

Why Plo Koon?

His powerful abilities and wisdom are underappreciated — especially in the Legends universe where he defeated even Yoda in a spar. His rapport with Ahsoka Tano is remarkable, evoking a sense of nostalgia.

3. Obi-Wan Kenobi

My initial ranking of Obi-Wan as number one was based on my deep admiration for his maturity and wisdom. However, as I grew and experienced more chaos in my life, the gap between his ideal self and my own reality widened. He remains in the third spot, but his place is secure in my heart.

1. Anakin Skywalker

Of all the Jedi, Anakin is undoubtedly my favorite. He defies the typical perfectionists, finding solace in his imperfections.

Why Anakin?

His lack of humility, combined with his unparalleled talent and hard work, resonates deeply with me. His life was marked by hardships, making him relatable on a personal level. Plus, who can’t identify with someone who is charming and flawed? As I went through adolescence, Anakin felt relatable; he was like an INTJ personality type, which I identified with strongly. The numerous internal rants he provided during challenging times were a great source of emotional support for me.

1. Ahsoka Tano

Ahsoka Tano shares first place with Anakin, with her character growth and the connection she shares with viewers.

Why Ahsoka?

Her story is one of resilience and growth, making her a standout character in the Star Wars universe. Her complexity and depth are a testament to her character design, making her easily relatable for many fans.

Legends Jedi: Revan

After reviewing the comments, I decided to include another Jedi from the Legends universe: Revan.

Why Revan?

Revan's character is rich with history and complexity, making him a favorite among fans of the expanded universe. His core is the combination of power and experience, which I find incredibly appealing.

In conclusion, the Jedi in my top ranking are more than just characters to me. They embody virtues that I admire and resonate with. From Anakin's acceptance of imperfection to Ahsoka's growth and Revan's legendary fame, each Jedi brings a unique lesson to my life. The Star Wars universe is rich with depth and complexity, and it's these characters that make it so special.
