It's got to be Qui-Gon, the first Jedi master we see at the top of his game. Yoda and Obiwan are past it, Luke is still a learner, but the immortal Qui-Gon is the coolest, most bad-ass character until Mace Windu comes along and starts talking about righteous men, foot massages and quarter pounders with cheese.
Qui-Gon even gets the coolest speech in the whole of Star Wars ...
"I don't know who the dark lord is. I don't know what he wants. If he is looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have more than twenty thousand republic dataries, which will do fine."
"Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real."
"But credits will do fine. What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career as a Jedi knight. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let young Annie go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, I will let you keep the pod racer, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and the negotiations will be short."

Or maybe I'm getting confused.
