Obi-wan Kenobi as played by Sir Alec Guinness hands down. Ewan McGregor was pretty cool too, but nothing compared to the original mysterious old hermit.

Does General Grevious from the cartoons count? When I saw III I couldn't understand why he was supposed to be cool or interesting, then Tartovsky's cartoons made him into the ultimate badass.

Seeing as Grievous is as much as a Jedi as C-3PO is...no :p

I'd say Jolee Bindo. Cranky old man that tells the jedi and sith to shove it and live him alone.
On the darker side, Kreia for being a manipulative old witch.

KotOR Jedi > movie/book jedi

Well Lazarus, you're out of luck...

Another vote for old Obi-Wan,
master of the Jedi mind trick, could sense a planet being blown up half a sector away, he managed to keep his presence supressed for some forty years (without needing a planet teeming with life to mask him), getting both the Emperor and Vader to think he was dead. The more books you read the more powerful he becomes, apart from Exar Kun he also managed to keep his spirit from dissipating longer than any other Jedi out there.

I also love the way he fights in ep IV, those little arcs and tiny swipes are all you need to carve someone to pieces with a lightsaber, that way of fighting always seemed to make much more sense to me than the wild swinging it later became. A weapon with limitless penetrating power would seem to me to be one you would stab rather than slice with, especially as slicing can lead it to bouncing off another saber and into your own face.

Whatever he did in eps I to III I don't particularly care about, it was the 'crazy old wizard' he became that is the most impressive about him. For the prequels Lucas largely rewrote what was established about him in the early movies and books.

C'Baoth gets a note for being deliciously insane.

My own SW rpg jedi (named Vortigar obviously) was also modelled largely after old Obi-Wan, primarily vested with defensive skills and mind tricks.

Drugar:
There were characters like that in the books before KoTOR was released... The witches of jadajadaIdontknowwhattheplanetwascalledagain to name three.

Dathomir? :p
I should read more of the books. I got the Swarm War and the Entire legacy of the Force saga (Is that Legacy? The one where Jacen go bonkers anyway) but I've only managed to read one book in three months or so. Things like Mass Effect and occasionally work distract me.

True, the arcs and swipes are good, but with a weapon with limitless penetration power, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Also, the big intricate fights we got later were about applying enough power to the swing to break your enemy's defense, and also just getting around those defenses. Also, they looked beautiful and cool.

It's the other way round actually. He was a badass first and then Lucas made him into an asthmatic. He's not technically a Jedi/Sith though.

I like Qui-Gon quite a lot - Liam Neeson is a good actor, it's too bad he was only in Episode 1. And Alec Guinness' Obi-Wan is definitely superior to Ewan McGregor's goofy ass.

For non-movie characters, I like Ulic Qel-Droma pretty well. I had a bad-ass Ulic costume my mom made for me for Halloween one year! And there was also that other TOJ character, can't remember his name, he looked like a triceratops almost. He was cool cuz he... looked like a triceratops, man!

Apparently Liam Neeson was originally signed to appear in the next two movies but he hated working for Ol' George so much that he refused to return.
