Top Ten Most Intelligent Star Wars Characters

He is the Creator of all the Evenements from the first movie to the Last movie... and of course the Most intelligent Character, Our Emperor Palpatine is Back to Surprise Us another Time in the Conclusion of The Saga

Orchestrated the demise of the Jedi while also pulling the strings in a huge war on BOTH SIDES, and taking over the Senate!

He was controlling the republic and the empire and when the right time came he took both over and ruled the galaxy.

He was able to hide his identity from the Jedi for years. - Therandom

Super smart the empire could have one if he had not died (book series)

He is an amazing military leader, he is high rank and he is non-human, that means a lot.

If you had an idea, Thrawn could thwart it. He was masterful, and even though he knew the Empire was evil, he chose it because it was the best choice. Thrawn was so smart that he didn't even need a backup plan (although I'm sure he always had one) because he already knew what you were going to do.

The smartest being the the canon universe and legends

Jar Jar Binks is above pretty much everybody when it comes to cunning if you believe in the "Darth Jar Jar" theory. He was able to trick even the most adept of tricksters, such as Palpatine, into doing what he wanted and ultimately removing themselves from his path towards whatever his goal may be. He has such knowledge of the force he can mind control powerful Jedi such as Qui-Gon, and even Palpatine himself. He plays the part of the fool skillfully, and in doing so allows himself to slowly eliminate his enemies and seize power from the shadows. He is the ultimate shadowy manipulator of Star Wars...and the REAL phantom menace.

I believe George Lucas had planned something sinister for Jar Jar Binks, but ultimately backed out of this idea fearing backlash. If Disney doesn't follow through with this idea, it would be a huge missed opportunity to tie all of the trilogies together and redeem the prequels. All of the pieces are already there to set up the biggest plot twist in film history.

Perhaps the most cunning character in the Star Wars universe, Jar-Jar Binks possesses a seemingly omniscient awareness of the world around him - time and time again using his immense intellect to outsmart and outplay his opponents.

The true 'phantom menace' of star wars, his intellect knows no bounds. The true creator of the empire and used palpatine as his pawn to take the fall! The dark one will return!

Yoga was really smart. He is considered to be the smartest Jedi. He also decided Luke and made him believe that he wasn't Yoda. - Therandom

Yoda is the smartest but everyone had to go and ruin the list by voting Jar Jar

I hate Jar Jar. Yoda should be 2nd if not 1st.

smart he is

Dude snoke’s an idiot! He couldn’t even predict that Kylo wasn’t going to kill him

He's a moron why did he decide of all the planets to destroy a very populated and well respected planet what a absolute incompetent commander and why did he destroy scarif base like he killed many imperial troops and officers for no reason he didn't even try to evacuate them, and for what trying to stop the rebels I mean why didn't he try to turn the death star on the rebel base and better yet why wasn't he fired for being a over confident tard?

Another brilliant commander. - EmperorPalpatine

The best military commander.

He is smart enough to clam the death star as his

He Is

Outsmarted the SMARTEST Sith in the galaxy. Wounded Anakin, and killed maul, though Anakin is better at killing sith since he killed TWO, where Obi-Wan killed one - O0812528

Jedi with the metaphors

he had the high ground

Obi Wan is smart. He was able to outsmart Anakin on Mustafar. - Therandom

Was probably more gifted in intelligence and beauty than any other person maybe except her beautiful daughter but still she was an queen at 14, and an powerful politician who was loved by many simply due to her loving her people of all races which was the reason she made sure everyone had equal rights.

She became an queen as a young adult and helped end the clone wars politically.

She is very good with persuasion. She also could hide he identity as the queen. - Therandom

because he was always light side but had trouble finding it

he helped protect leia organa solo from the emperor

First one to become a force ghost and the only one who believed Anakin to be the Chosen One from the start! Should be 2nd in my opinion - JamesNicholls

Sure, Leia may be one of, if not the smartest Star Wars character. She was more intelligent than her friends which is why she was able to destroy Han easy in conversations. However, even though she was intelligent and especially stubborn at times, she still had great love for her husband Han Solo, and her brother Luke Skywalker and would do her best to help them.

She is smart. She just doesn't have a brain as powerful as the rest of these guys. She didn't know she was a Jedi until after return of the Jedi. - Therandom

Nope! She is stupid. And secretly an antagonist

Luke is smart, mainly in episode 6. He was right, he did redeem Vader. - Therandom

the smartest and most powerful Jedi

the reason that Darth Vader is smarter than Anakin Skywalker.

As Analin he wasn't though. - Therandom

One of the most brilliant force users in the entire franchise. His teachings influenced decades of practices and institutions in both Jedi and Sith ideologies.

an classic sith and a encrediblely smart one

Underrated, needs more credit for his intellect.

He cloning bounty hunter Jango Fett to create clone army.He make THE CLONE WARS.He is awesome.

He single handedly lead all military operations for the CIS and was known for his unpredictable battle strategies that even strategic geniuses (such as Yulren and Obi Wan) had trouble with. Thrawn himself bought Grievous's facemask and put it in his private quarters which he did only with art work he respected and admired and admitted that Grievous would have a tough opponent even for him due to his seemly random but we'll thought out battle plans. This is legends Grievous I am talking about.

He was The Leader of an entire army and had to organize the Clone Wars aside of Count Dooku

Killed so many jedi

He is clearly the most intelligent Character because of his ability to see that neither the sith nor the Jedi could have control. Plus he was struck down by both so many times but was still able to lead his own team (death watch). He also seems to be very persuasive as he teamed with the pirates, death watch, the Jedi, the sith and many more

Could have founded The 3d universal mightcentre.

She should definitely be on this list she does a lot

He was a child prodigy in the field of engineering. - RockFashionista

He killed two sith and wasn’t bad at first. He only joined the dark side to protect padmé. And I also can’t see why anakin and darth Vader are both on this list. They’re the same person!
