10 Worst Jedi In Star Wars History

While even the likes of the great Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda have been known to make the odd mistake

over the years, certain points of view, my ass, there's telling a Porky to protect the son of

Darth Vader, and then there's almost single-handedly sealing the terrible fate of the entire Jedi

Order with a defiant reaction to being rejected by their master peers. So let's dive into those

Jedi Masters who are simply the worst. Gareth here from WhatCultureStarWars and here are the

10 Worst Jedi Masters in Star Wars. Number 10, Luminara Unduli One specific master who personified the concept of the Jedi denying themselves any form of attachment during the Clone Wars in particular

came in the form of Luminara Unduli, a rather cold wielder of the Force it must be said

On top of being disturbingly quick to accept the reality of her ultimately disillusioned Padawan Barriss Offi being no more

despite there still being a chance that Offi and Ahsoka Tano could still be alive in the wake of a droid factory on Geonosis exploding with the two youngsters inside

Unduli's apparent reaction to orphaning the Martez sisters is also about as heartless as it gets too

As Rafa would explain to Ahsoka during the 7th episode of Clone Wars Season 7

a Jedi matching the description of Unduli came to speak to the children in the wake of the

Peacekeepers steering a ship into their homes and killing their parents in their bids to protect a

crowded platform from being smashed into. Her words of I had to make a choice but not to worry

the force will be with you did little to comfort the kids who had just been left without parents or

shelter, and served as a reminder why some folks had every reason to believe the Jedi were just as

bad as anyone else causing chaos in the galaxy. 9. Bola Rappal

You had one job, Master Bola Rappal, one job. It was his sole responsibility to keep the Jedi

Memory Crystal out of the hands of those outside of the Order. But in the wake of Cad Bane managing

to break into the Jedi Temple and stealing a Jedi Holocron, Rappal was captured remarkably quickly

by the bounty hunter, and soon helped both Bane and Darth Sidious edge ever closer to pulling off

their despicable plan. The all-important crystal Ropal had been tasked with keeping an eye on was

hugely significant to the Order, as it contained a list of all the known Force-sensitive children

in the galaxy. So if this valuable object that pretty much held the entire future of the Jedi

Order in it fell into the hands of, oh, I don't know, the Dark Lord of the Sith, it's safe to say

more than a few folks would have a bad feeling about it. But that's precisely what happens

Admittedly, Bane's coming into possession of the crystal came after Ropal to finally refuse to open

the Holocron, losing his life in the process. Yet that doesn't change the fact that Rapal's

failure to keep the crystal away from people outside of the Order paved the way for the

disturbing kidnapping of Force-sensitive children on Sidious' request down the road. 8. OPPO RANCESIS

What a look, eh? Taking up a spot on the Jedi High Council during the prequel era

the white snake being known as Master OPPO RANCESIS could routinely be found perched on a comfy seat throughout the Clone Wars and doing very little else in all honesty Now yeah that a bit unfair okay

Rancisis was actually said to have been extremely developed in the ways of the Force

even preferring his Force abilities to his lightsaber when in combat. He was even classed as one of the wisest members on the High Council

also serving as a top strategist and military advisor during the Clone Wars

So it's just a shame that fans were never really given a chance to see this distinct alien force wielder really strut his stuff at any point on the big or small screen in the time during episodes 1 to 3, or even in the years after somehow surviving the Great Jedi Purge

Again, this Thisbeasian was seemingly highly regarded by the Jedi at the height of their existence, but it's still hard to argue against him being one of the least impactful or memorable masters on the Council, and it's likely Vader and Co simply forgot he even existed in the wake of Order 66

Number 7, Luke Skywalker Look, Luke Skywalker as a Jedi Padawan slash knight was unquestionably one of the key factors

in the toppling of the Empire, but as a Jedi Master, well, nobody's perfect, right

Proving himself once again to be one of the most influential Force users of all time

for better and for worse, Skywalker's building of a new Jedi Academy ultimately set the stage

for an event that would have a catastrophic impact on the rest of the galaxy

Sensing his Padawan Ben Solo as having his heart turned to the dark side by Snoke

A brief loss of control led to Luke brandishing his lightsaber in an attempt to stop this evil in its tracks

The urge to cut down his nephew passed as quickly as it arrived in the end, but the damage was already done

Young Solo spotted his master standing over him with his lightsaber raised

and Luke's inability to sense that Ben could still be brought back to the light resulted in Han Solo and Lair Organa's child

instinctively defending himself before destroying the temple and killing many of Skywalker's other apprentices

Just like that, Luke almost single-handedly unleashed Kylo Ren on the galaxy

a move that would set the deaths of Han Solo and countless others in motion

Thankfully, Luke was able to redeem himself somewhat by the end of the sequels, but not before making a few galaxy-changing mistakes along the way

6. Coleman Trebo Or as you may also know him, the one and only Virg Jedi Master who got his ass quickly handed to him by Jango Fett on Geonosis

He can't knock the effort, however, as Trebo got within inches of stopping the entire Clone Wars

standing right in front of Count Dooku with his lightsaber in hand as the Battle of Geonosis got

underway. Yet despite being classed as an impressive combatant, Trevor appeared to be

anything but that when the pressure was really on. But at least Mace Windu was able to avenge

his death with the coldest decapitation ever to tumble into a Star Wars project

5. Ki-Adi-Mundi Easily one of the most recognisable faces to hold down a seat on the Jedi High Council

throughout the prequel trilogy and Clone Wars in general Master Ki didn half have a habit of letting loose fiercely arrogant statements that aged like a pint of blue milk on top of ignorantly claiming that the Sith being back was impossible due to them not being spotted for a millennium

The ever-doubting Jedi would also boldly claim that Count Dooku was little more than a political

idealist, not a murderer, and Ki-Adi-Mundi was at it again on the back of the bombing

of the Jedi Temple during the Clone Wars animated series. acting as an influential voice as the call to boot a framed Ahsoka Tano out of the order was made

He even had the audacity to claim that Tano had showcased the true sign of a Jedi knight

in ultimately proving her innocence as the council attempted to bring her back into the mix

What a piece of work. Sure, he had a few redeeming moments during said animated spin-off

but for the most part, Mundi was a rather insensitive doubter for much of his time in the spotlight

4. Mace Windu Time and time again as the Clone Wars unfolded

Mace Windu proved that he was quite possibly the mightiest Jedi of the lot

regularly leading clones into battle and showcasing why he was a Jedi warrior to be reckoned with

But he also continually demonstrated the major flaws of the Jedi around the time of the Republic

that being a level of hubris and hypocrisy that ultimately led to a fatal conclusion for both the

Order and much of the galaxy. Alongside the likes of Ki-Adi-Mundi, Windu also once notably doubted

Dooku being capable of murder, claiming that assassination wasn't in his character as a former

Jedi. Yet as the Clone Wars reached their climax, what was the purple-bladed master spotted attempting

to do? Assassinate Darth Sidious before he could stand trial! And it was this, and his overall

refusal to ever fully trust in Anakin Skywalker as the Chosen One, that eventually kick-started

both the rise of Vader and fall of the Order. All in all, Windu may have been arguably as strong as

or even more powerful than Master Yoda, but his foolish actions served as a reminder

of how even the apparent wisest of Jedi had lost their way by the time Order 66 was made a reality

Number three are the Jedi Masters who tried to take down Sidious. In fairness, trying to go toe-to-toe

with the biggest bad in the galaxy was never destined to be a simple day at the office, was it

But the fact a whopping three supposed Jedi Masters were all taken out by a recently revealed Darth Sidious

with almost hilarious ease, more than earns these otherwise respectable Force wielders a spot on this list

Again, Palpatine wasn't just any old Darksider, it must be said. He was the mastermind behind the entire Clone Wars

and the person responsible for the re-emergence of the Sith. But was he really that masterful with a lightsaber

that he could dispatch three of the greatest lightsaber wielders ever to grace the Order

as though they were little more than a bunch of hapless battle droids? If Agent Cola, Saesee Tin, and Kit Fisto were really the master swordsmen

legendary warriors and greatest lightsaber duelists of their time, they were often referred to as

then surely they would have lasted longer than a few seconds against just one red adversary right Perhaps this simply acts as another example of the Order believing in their own hype a little bit too much Whatever way you slice it though see what I did there There no questioning that Mace Windu

brought some ultimately ill-equipped Masters along with him to bring down the soon-to-be Emperor

2. Sifo-Dyas While it's been noted on a number of occasions already how the Jedi Order weren't exactly known

for always getting it right, in the case of their call to keep from allowing Master Sifo-Dyas to

build an army to protect the Jedi from the visions he'd experienced of an incoming war

they were probably right to give the concept a hard pass. Unfortunately for every Jedi ultimately

taken out in Order 66 though, after being taken off the Jedi Council due to his desire to forge

an army for the Republic, Count Dooku's pal defied the Order and went ahead with plans to

create a clone army anyway, even going as far as to claim that the folks on Kamino had the blessing

of both the Jedi and Galactic Senate to start building the troops. However, in the wake of

Dooku betraying his former mate and ultimately being responsible for his death, Sidious would

assume control of said secret clone army from the shadows. So despite the army clearly being

initially designed as a way to protect both the Republic and the Order, Xipho-Dyas' foolish

decision to press ahead behind the Council's back eventually presented Palpatine with the tools to

take over the galaxy. 1. Pong Krell Despite being forged without the consent of the Jedi Order, the various generals tasked with

bringing the fight to the Separatists soon bonded with their clone army, with the Peacekeepers very

much seeing their troops as individuals rather than cannon fodder. Well, in most cases that is

When it came to Pong Krell, however, it was clear this particular Jedi Master didn't give a damn

how many clone troopers he put in harm's way to complete his missions during the Clone Wars

And if his record for the highest amount of clone casualties under his command wasn't enough of a

reason to despise the controversial Jedi, then his eventual revealed dark intentions likely did the

trick. After Krell routinely put Anakin Skywalker's 501st Legion needlessly in harm's way on Umbara

upon the latter being recalled to Coruscant and the former taking over control of the troops

the clones would ultimately discover that he was actually seeking to rule as part of a new order

that was on the horizon, and the fallen Jedi would reveal that he aimed to become Count Dooku's new

apprentice too. Sure enough, not a soul alive shed a tear upon witnessing clone trooper Dogma

take out the Jedi General on the back of his betrayal of both the Jedi and Republic

That being said, he didn't half have some cool double-bladed lightsabers though, right
