10 Most Powerful 'Star Wars' Characters In Official Canon, Ranked

The official Star Wars canon, as redefined after Disney acquired Lucasfilm, contains many exceptionally powerful figures. In most cases "powerful" refers to a Force-wielder's mystical abilities and combat skill, though there are a few exceptions. The Mortis gods (the Father, the Daughter, and the Son) are excluded here because they rarely demonstrate their full might, while Cal Kestis receives an honorary mention for his strong but player-dependent abilities and limited official training.

Newcomer Kylo Ren emerges as a fearsome combatant, driven by anger yet inheriting innate Skywalker Force ability. Grand Admiral Thrawn stands out without Force-sensitivity thanks to an unmatched tactical mind and the ability to exploit scarce resources, though he would be outmatched in a direct duel with a Jedi or Sith.
