Every Video Game Jedi Ever – IGN

By Jessie Wade

The Jedi are known as the peacekeepers of the Galaxy in the Star Wars universe and with the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game from Respawn entertainment, we decided to round up every Jedi in Star Wars video games that we could find – in terms of being a playable character.

While we wait for the epic conclusion of the Skywalker Saga to release – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – check out this list and let us know your favorite Jedi character to play as in Star Wars video games.

(Note: Some of the characters in this list are non-canon to the Star Wars universe – but due to their strong presence in multiple video games, they were included in this list.)

Luke Skywalker

Luke Skywalker is a Jedi Master with abilities that many say make him one of the strongest Jedi ever. He is the son of Anakin Skywalker, who was a Jedi Knight before his turn to the dark side. Luke was trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, before facing his father and completing his training to become a Jedi. Since Luke’s appearance in Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977, he has been recognized as one of the faces of Star Wars. He has appeared in dozens of Star Wars video games, including the LEGO Star Wars games and most recently Star Wars: Battlefront II.

Anakin Skywalker

Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi Knight before he became a Sith on the dark side with Darth Sidious. Anakin was declared the “Chosen One” and was meant to bring balance to the Force (which Luke later ended up being an extension of the prophecy). He was trained by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but ultimately went to the dark side due to his lack of ability to control his emotions and fears, largely due to Emperor Palpatine’s manipulations. Anakin has appeared in numerous Star Wars games as his Jedi-self over the years.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi Master and was a member of the Jedi High Council during the fall of the Galactic Republic. He was trained by Yoda as a Padawan and became the apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn – being named a Jedi Knight upon defeating Darth Maul. After his master’s death, Obi-Wan Kenobi continued training for Anakin Skywalker, and later Luke Skywalker until his death while dueling with Darth Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi is a playable character in countless Star Wars video games, including all of the LEGO games, Battlefront games, and others.

Qui-Gon Jinn

Qui-Gon Jinn is a Jedi Master – looked at as one of the most wise and powerful – who found and trained Anakin Skywalker, wishing him to fulfill his prophecy and bring balance to the Force. He was offered a seat on the Jedi Council, but turned it down to continuing following his own path as a Jedi. Qui-Gon Jinn ultimately died during a battle against Darth Maul, which Obi-Wan Kenobi finished and promised him he would continue the training of Anakin Skywalker. He has appeared in multiple Star Wars video games, including Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Yoda

Yoda is a Legendary Jedi Master and Grand Master of the Jedi Order who trained Jedi for over 800 years, dying peacefully when he was nearly 900 years old.
