Who is the greatest Jedi of all time?

This is a discussion about importance, influence, and impact-- not who is the most powerful or the strongest.

Luke Skywalker in influence, impact and importance.

That grip was shaken - and ultimately broken - by the courage and power of a young man who would one day become the greatest Jedi in the history of the galaxy 

Star Wars: The Films and the Galaxy Beyond

Followed closely by Anakin.

From a cosmic perspective, killing the Ones is probably the most important event in SW.

Qui-Gon obviously.

Greatest - Luke

Most important - Anakin

Anakin killing the Son has to be the most significant thing that contributed the universe. At the end of the day, Palpatine was a mere mortal. Sure he killed few hundred millions of beings but that'd be nothing compared to what Son would do I assume.

Where would you guys rank the HoT? He did stop Vitiate from Nathema'ing the galaxy, and presumignly becoming a powerhouse rivaled only by the Ones.

Luke or Anakin.

Luke. He stopped so many galactic level threats it’s hard to count them.

Luke is the greatest Jedi ever, in every conceivable way, imo.

A runner-up for greatest could be Obi Wan.

Runner-up for most important is clearly Luke, followed by perhaps the HoT.

Grand-Master Luke Skywalker for me.

GM Luke, Anakin, Revan, and possibly the HoT. Maybe Jacen.

Luke, HoT, or Anakin. All stopped galactic+ level threats.

Second only to Anakin killing Sheev.

1. Anakin
2. Luke
3. Outlander (HoT)

Anyone with skywalker blood

Outlander, Luke or Anakin.

Anakin Skywalker probably takes the cake for most cosmically important, but it's more because of the prophecy and his importance in two key roles in fulfilling it (the Ones and Palpatine), as well as his progeny. Luke Skywalker was the most consistently influential in terms of how many times he repeatedly bailed out the galaxy, so he would take the clear #2 spot (and the #1 spot if by "greatest" you factor in more than sheer importance).

#3 is the HoT for his role in defeating Vitiate (and Soa, the Terror from Beyond, etc.).

#4 is trickier - possible candidates include Revan, Cade, Jacen Solo, the Exile, etc. Probably Revan since he was critical throughout so many generations and in ending Vitiate, who's probably a top-3 threat in the post-Rakata history of the galaxy after Sidious and Abeloth.
