Ask AI: Who is the best fighter in the Star Wars universe?

Who is the best fighter in the Star Wars universe? The franchise has been around for decades at this point, so there are a lot of candidates.

We asked Open AI’s generative chatbot ChatGPT to answer this question for us. Here’s what the robots think:

"Anakin Skywalker, who later becomes Darth Vader, possesses immense power, exceptional lightsaber skills, and an extensive knowledge of the Force. He is renowned for his abilities both as a pilot and a duelist. Anakin’s raw strength, combined with his tactical mindset and relentless determination, make him a formidable adversary. Additionally, his role in the Star Wars saga as a central character and his impact on the galaxy further solidify his status as one of the most iconic and influential fighters in the franchise."

ChatGPT thinks Anakin Skywalker is the best fighter in the Star Wars universe

So there you go: according to the robots, Anakin Skywalker is the best of the best. This doesn’t mean he’s unbeatable, though. In Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi chops off Anakin’s arms and legs during a fight (he got better). And in Return of the Jedi, Anakin’s son Luke fights against him and wins.

Still, it’s true that Anakin is very powerful; his father is basically the Force, so he has a lot of control over that potent weapon. Still, folks like Obi-Wan, Luke, Yoda, and others seem to be at least a match for Anakin, provided the circumstances are right.
