This is why the events leading up to Order 66 were heavily focused on drawing the most powerful Jedi away from Coruscant, Obi-Wan Kenobi. This is why in the beginning of Episode III, Palpatine is so adamant on Anakin leaving Obi-Wan behind on the burning ship, he knew he was the greatest threat to his grand plan to wipe out the Jedi. The Emperor knew that Kenobi was more powerful than Yoda, its very clear in his Order 66 plans of wiping out the Jedi. Yoda was stuck in the dogmatic Jedi ways and couldn’t fathom that a pupil could be more powerful than him. Yoda tells Kenobi that he “is not powerful enough” to face the Emperor towards the end of the film. In Episode III, we see many indications that Kenobi is the most powerful force user, even more than Master Yoda. He’s so powerful in the force, hes the only character who never has an unsuccessful mind trick. He also pulls off his first “mind trick” in this episode, something he becomes renowned for. He foresaw the troubles that would unfold that would eventually push him closer than ever to the dark side and away from the Jedi order, but Yoda and Mace Windu remained stubborn that the Council was confident in its decision. In Episode II, Obi-Wan was the only Jedi who sensed that Anakin was not ready for the mission to protect Padme. Anger gets the best of Force users (Jedi included) time and time again in the saga, but Kenobi mastered the Force and the Jedi teaching of suppressing his emotions, even as a Padawan, not take a dark turn after seeing his master die before his very eyes. (Anakin in Episodes II & III, Mace Windu against Palpatine, and Luke against Vader in VI). We’ve seen other Jedi act out of anger and impulse after traumatic events. In Episode I, he is able to kill Darth Maul after his master was slain by him. Palpatine started to realize this during the Clone Wars and there is plenty of evidence in Revenge of the Sith- I’ll start with the other episodes first.
