Who's the most powerful female character ever?

Just wondering who you think is the most powerful female character in Star Wars of all time.

The Jedi Exile, probably, or Jaina Solo.

Bastila Shan and Meetra Surik (The Jedi Exile) are defiantly most powerful Old Republic era female Force users. Those two were both lovers of Revan, and helped him remain a Jedi in his heart.


My personal vote would go to Jaina Solo-Fel, but that's more because I know her full story and she will remain my favorite EU character no matter what the new Disney movies do to the Solo kids.


If you go by force of personality, then Leia, Mara Jade, and Jaina all share the top spot. The way all 3 were written in the EU made them all every strong social forces to deal with. I mean Leia had to put up with Han Solo for over 40 years now, could you handle that? lol

Straight up battle, my vote would have to go to Meetra Surik.


For overall force to be reckoned with (not just in fighting), I'd have to say Leia, or Mara.


My dark horse entry would be Aurra Sing.

Jaina Solo's cross-training is impressive. Nomi Sunrider's battle meditation and sever Force ability are impressive too. But let's not forget about Darth Zannah. She understood the true nature of the Force. ;)

Ha.


Zannah's strength lay in manipulation, not power.  Her main power lay in continuing Bane's rule and Rule.  By herself, she was no more powerful (or much different) than Mother Talzin.  Powerful, yes, but not as powerful as the other two ladies you mentioned IMHO.

The ability to make others do what you want (manipulation) is power, imo. RB didn't necessarily say straight-up Force blasting firepower.  :P

You're right, CHIA. I left the definition of power up to each individual.

I'd like to throw another name into the mix: Kreia. She actually had the objective of trying to destroy the Force itself. You don't see that every day! And she may have been close to actually achieving it, which would have been a galaxy-shattering feat!

I forgot about Kreia...she gets my vote as well. Not only was she incredibly intelligent and cunning, she was ridiculously powerful with the Force.

Rey.  Can you say "Mary Sue"?
