I’m sorry if this has been asked, but what Jedi (besides Yoda) represents the best of what a Jedi could be in your opinion?

That's… a complicated question 😅. Very hard to answer, considering I love them all 💕.

The answer is that… well, the best of the Jedi is the Order itself. I know it sounds ridiculous but… they are all awesome 😍.

Shaak Ti is… the clones' mom, basically (or close enough). She also took ✨baby Ahsoka ✨ on her akul hunt. She's kind and compassionate, she stands up for the clones and doesn't stop pushing the Kaminoans until she saves Fives' life (who at the time was believed to have gone rogue).

Plo Koon adopts/mentors every curious being he comes across (which we stan) ♥️, and loves the clones so much. Do you still think about the "we are supposed to be expendable" "not to me" exchange, or ✨baby Ahsoka✨ trusting him immediately because she knows he's safe to be around? Yeah, me too 🥺.

Ki-Adi Mundi is the most stern out of the Council (save for perhaps Mace), but that doesn't stop him from goofing around with the kids (Anakin and Ahsoka) and caring a lot towards his men (and people say he's an emotionless robot and proof of everything wrong with the Order 🙄).

Mace Windu walks close to the Dark Side every day yet chooses not to Fall every single time ✊. He has a temper, but keeps it under control and doesn't let his anger outweight his kindness. In TCW he's shown putting himself in danger for his men in nearly every moment he's on screen, and is even compassionate towards Boba after he's killed his men 🥺. He loves the Republic, loves Depa, and holy fuck he defeated Sidious!

Even Ima-Gun Di, the guy who's literally named "I'm gonna die 😂", seems to be a good Jedi. He's close with his men and dies protecting Ryloth (the Twi'leks owe him their planet, their freedom and their lives!).

But the Jedi who exemplifies the best of them? It's tricky, but I'm gonna pick Obi-Wan and Luke.

Obi-Wan remains kind and compassionate even after his whole family, culture and way of life is burned to the ground by the men he fought three entire years to protect and his Padawan/brother at the lead. He, even when dirt poor, gives some money to a veteran of the 501st! Anakin's legion! The same legion that stormed the Temple! This man is amazing 😍🥹.

And Luke 🥹, what hasn't been said about Luke? He overcomes his difficulties, he finds a present to stand on, he sacrifices himself to save the Rebellion and his father, his kriffing Sith-Apprentice-Jedi-Killer-Emperor's-Fist father, and he succeeds! He tells the Emperor to fuck right off and that he's a Jedi and will die a Jedi before he becomes a Sith. He offers Jabba the Hutt the opportunity to surrender and get out of the situation without bloodshed.

But anyways 😅. Luke and Obi-Wan are, along with Yoda, the representation of the best of the Jedi, but everyone else is not so far behind (except Anakin and Ahsoka).
