When we talk about the Force it comes to Jedi vs Sith. But who has the most abilities compared to each other?

Star Wars has some of the most iconic and powerful characters in the world of fiction. With so many Force-wielding Jedi and Sith, it can be difficult to determine who reigns supreme.

Here are the five most powerful Star Wars characters in the canon universe.

5. Mace Windu

Mace Windu is a highly skilled Jedi Master with incredible abilities like Shatterpoint and Force Crush. He is also an accomplished lightsaber duelist, able to hold his own against even the most skilled opponents.

He famously defeated Darth Sidious in a duel that ultimately led to his downfall.

4. Darth Sidious

Definitely not a lightsaber guy, so if he can't trick someone during a fight, it won't work for him. However, Emperor Palpatine is arguably one of the most formidable characters in the Star Wars universe.

He is a master manipulator, strategist, and also a powerful Sith Lord with an immense command of the Dark Side of the Force.

3. Luke Skywalker

Luke Skywalker is one of the greatest Jedi of all time. He is a skilled warrior and master of the Force with incredible abilities such as telekinesis, precognition, and Force healing.

He defeated Darth Vader, the most powerful Sith, in battle and brought peace to the Galaxy, though the Galaxy was once again unbalanced by the First Order. But he still gets his credit.

2. Yoda

The little green creature is one of the most revered Jedi Masters in the Star Wars universe.

He is a wise and powerful Force user with incredible abilities such as Force lightning projection and reverse speech that can cause trouble for the villains.

He is also a skilled lightsaber duelist, able to hold his own against even the most powerful opponents.

1. Darth Vader

Anakin Skywalker is one of the most iconic villains in movie history. He is a skilled warrior and powerful Force user, with abilities such as Force Choke and Force Push.

He is also a trained pilot and tactician, which makes him a formidable opponent in space and on the ground.

Anakin was the Chosen One, destined to bring balance to the galaxy, even if Disney doesn't think so (because they resurrected an evil he destroyed).

Of course, we haven't mentioned the delightful Ben Kenobi, the menacing Count Dooku, Rey "Skywalker" or Ahsoka Tano with the upcoming series, but the debates about the coolest heroes of a franchise have a long history and it seems like they'll never end.
