The likes of Qui-Gon Jinn, Ahsoka, Luke, and Kanan, were better off as people, characters, and Jedi when they were not bending over backward to follow the Jedi code. Darth Sidious was obviously the villain but the Jedi had many issues that did not help matters, including their strict adherence to an ancient code. There is no doubt the Jedi Order of the prequel trilogy was flawed. It is just an add-on to the many things that make Kanan so great. Of course, many Jedi and Force users manage to stay away from it, so on its own, it is not that impressive.
He understands it, stays aware of it, and stays away from it. Whether it be because of tragedy, being pushed, or being manipulated, many Jedi flirt with the dark side of the Force, look it dead in the face and get close to falling over that edge, even doing so at points. Anakin, Quinlan Vos, Count Dooku, and others fell to the dark side, while some got close to it or close to being tempted by it, like Luke. It is this same quality that helped make Cal Kestis such a great character, as well as Ahsoka. Kanan not only had to further his own skills concerning lightsaber combat and Force abilities, but he had to teach himself how to survive in the Galaxy, and how to hide his connection to the Force while adapting to a new way of life and to a rapidly changing Galaxy, before finally using the Force again for good. However, following her death, Kanan had to teach himself so much. Kanan Jarrus was obviously formerly known as Caleb Dume and was a Jedi Padawan who learned a lot from his Jedi Master Depa Billaba. This did happen with the likes of Anakin, but no Jedi has been seen doing this as much and as well as Kanan. Whenever Ezra challenged an ideal Kanan was taught long ago, it would give Kanan a new point of view, and he would welcome it and learn from it, rather than shy away from it and ignore it. He learned new perspectives and new ways of thinking about things. Kanan Jarrus is the teacher of Ezra Bridger and also of Sabine Wren at a time, teaching them so much about balance, combat, philosophy, and general ways of the Jedi. It is hard for any Jedi to come close to the likes of Obi-Wan and Luke Skywalker in terms of popularity and brilliance, but many arguments make a case for Kanan to be arguably the greatest Jedi in canon.
