Obi-Wan Kenobi

"Obi-Wan is a great mentor; as wise as Master Yoda, and as powerful as Master Windu."

- Anakin Skywalker

Obi-Wan Kenobi, later known as Ben Kenobi, was a human male Jedi Master who served the Galactic Republic. He was mentor to both Anakin Skywalker and his son, Luke, training them in the ways of the Force.

Born on the planet Stewjon, Kenobi was taken as the padawan learner of Qui-Gon Jinn where they traveled on many missions together. During the Invasion of Naboo, Kenobi became the first Jedi in an millennium to defeat a Sith Lord when he defeated Darth Maul during the Battle of Naboo, but unfortunately lost his own master in the same battle.

Early Life
Obi-Wan Kenobi was born on the planet Stewjon where he was then taken to the Jedi temple on Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi where as a youngling, Kenobi underwent training with Grand Master Yoda.

Qui-Gon's Apprentice
"You still have much to learn, my young apprentice."

- Qui-Gon Jinn

When Kenobi was in his teens, he was taken as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn's Padawan learner. Prior to the Invasion of Naboo, Kenobi and Jinn spent a year on the planet Mandalore protecting Duchess Satine Kryze from Insurgents who were threatening her world. Bounty hunters were sent after them, forcing them to always be on the run and live hand to mouth, never knowing what the next day would bring them.

Invasion of Naboo
Obi-Wan and his master Qui-Gon Jinn were sent by Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum to negotiate with the Trade Federation, which had set up a blockade around the planet of Naboo. However, negotiations did not take place as Viceroy Nute Gunray instead sent battle droids and droidekas to kill the Jedi Knights. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan escaped to Naboo's surface by stowing away on separate landing craft.

On Naboo, Obi-Wan found Qui-Gon, who had just saved the life of the Gungan Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar reluctantly led the two Jedi to the underwater city of Otoh Gunga, where they met with the Gungan leader Boss Nass. The Jedi were unable to convince the Gungans to help the humans of Naboo, but Nass, under the influence of Qui-Gon's Jedi Mind trick, gave the two Jedi a transport to allow them to reach Theed, Naboo's capital city. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Jar Jar piloted the transport through the planet's core to reach Theed. However, when they arrived they discovered that the Trade Federation had already taken control of the city. After rescuing Queen Amidala and several others, the Jedi took Amidala off of Naboo in her starship in an attempt to reach Coruscant with news of the invasion. During the escape, the queen's hyperdrive was damaged, which prevented them from going straight to Coruscant. Instead, they landed on Tatooine to repair the ship.

After landing, Qui-Gon, Padmé (the queen in disguise as a handmaiden), Jar Jar and the astromech droid R2-D2 went to look for a new hyperdrive unit, while Obi-Wan stayed behind on the ship. While looking for parts, Qui-Gon discovered a young, force-sensitive slave named Anakin Skywalker. Qui-Gon retrieved a sample of Anakin's blood and had the data sent to Obi-Wan on the ship. Obi-Wan found that Anakin's midichlorian count was the highest of any Jedi. Qui-Gon and the others returned to the ship after getting the necessary parts, accompanied by Anakin Skywalker. When Qui-Gon arrived, however, he was attacked by a cloaked man with a red lightsaber. Qui-Gon instructed Anakin to tell the ship to take off and he jumped on board to escape his attacker.

With a repaired hyperdrive, the ship took off for Coruscant. When they arrived on the planet, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi went directly to the Jedi Council to report on the mysterious attacker, whom Qui-Gon believed to be a Sith. After Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were briefed on what to do about their mysterious attacker, Qui-Gon discussed Anakin with the Council, believing him to be the Chosen One. The Council instructed Qui-Gon to bring Anakin before them. When Anakin arrived before the Council, he was questioned and discovered to be very strong with the Force. Nevertheless, to Qui-Gon's dismay, the Council determined that Anakin was not to be trained. Qui-Gon suggested that he take on Anakin as his Padawan, but Master Yoda objected since Obi-Wan was already Qui-Gon's Padawan. Obi-Wan insisted he was ready to take the trials, and his master agreed, adding that he is a little headstrong but that there is nothing more that Qui-Gon could teach Kenobi. Instead of discussing the matter futher, Mace Windu ordered Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan back to Naboo to protect the Queen and lure out the mysterious assailant.

After returning to Naboo, Jar Jar located the Gungans, and Padmé, revealing herself to be Queen Amidala, begged Boss Nass to provide assistance in fighting the droid armies of the Trade Federation. Boss Nass agreed and the Queen explained her plan. The Gungans were to fight the droid army on the plains as a diversion so that she could slip into Theed and capture Viceroy Gunray. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Anakin joined the Queen in her attack on Theed. Soon after entering the hangar, Anakin got into the cockpit of a Naboo starfighter, Queen Amidala and her guards made their way to the throne room, and Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan encountered Darth Maul. During the duel with Maul, Obi-Wan got separated from his master, and he was forced to watch as Maul impaled Qui-Gon through the torso with his double-bladed lightsaber. When the opportunity arose, Obi-Wan retaliated against Maul but the Sith gained the upper hand, knocking Obi-Wan down a shaft. Obi-Wan managed to grab hold of something, but he watched hopelessly as Maul kicked his lightsaber down into the shaft. Despite his predicament, Obi-Wan was able to use the Force to pull Qui-Gon's lightsaber into his hands at the same moment he jumped up to where Maul was standing. In one move, he cut the Sith in half and Maul's severed body fell down the shaft, presumably dead.

Obi-Wan then ran to Qui-Gon's side and promised to train Anakin in agreement with his master's dying wish. Following the end of the battle, Obi-Wan was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight by Master Yoda and Qui-Gon's body was burnt on a funeral pyre, where Obi-Wan informed Anakin that he would become a Jedi. Later on, Obi-Wan, alongside his new Padawan, Anakin, and several members of the Jedi Council were present during a victory celebration in Theed.

Protecting Senator Amidala
"You know I don't like it when you do that.''" "Sorry Master. I forgot you don't like flying." "''I don't mind flying but what you're doing is suicide."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker

Following an attempt to kill Senator Padmé Amidala on Coruscant, the Jedi Council sent Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, to protect the Senator from future attacks as they had just return from a border dispute on the planet Ansion and at the behest of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. Anakin and Obi-Wan had already been on several missions, but Anakin had not seen Padmé in ten years and felt uncomfortable around her because of his feelings for her. Padmé told the Jedi that she didn't need protection, but rather, she wanted answers. Against Obi-Wan's recommendation, Anakin promised Padmé that they would find out who was trying to kill her. Anakin and Padmé worked out a plan to use the Senator as bait, but without Obi-Wan's knowledge. The bounty hunter Zam Wesell did attempt to kill the Senator that night with venomous kouhun arthropods, but her plot was foiled and Obi-Wan used her own probe to find the assassin. Anakin found a speeder, and together he and Obi-Wan pursued the bounty hunter through Coruscant until her speeder crashed outside a nightclub. The Jedi followed her in, realizing she was a changeling, and soon Obi-Wan found her and cut off her arm with his lightsaber before she could shoot him. However, before she could tell the Jedi who she was working for, she was shot and killed by a toxic dart fired by Jango Fett.

The Council decided that Anakin should accompany Padmé as she visits her home planet of Naboo, whereas Obi-Wan should continue the investigation on Padmé's attackers. Obi-Wan took the toxic dart to his friend Dexter Jettster, who told Obi-Wan that it was a Kamino saberdart. Using Dex's information about Kamino, Obi-Wan visited the Jedi Temple Archives, but he was unable to locate the system. Librarian Jocasta Nu informed Kenobi that the system must not exist since it is not in the archives. Obi-Wan wasn't convinced, so he visited Master Yoda who was teaching Younglings. Yoda and Obi-Wan agreed that someone had erased the files on Kamino from the Archives, and that Obi-Wan needed to go and visit the location of the gravity silhouette to find the lost planet.

Discovery of the Clone Army
"I have successfully made contact with the Prime Minister of Kamino. They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a clone army."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Mace Windu, via hologram

Upon arriving on Kamino, Obi-Wan was greeted by the Kaminoan Taun We who told the Jedi that they had been expecting him. She took Obi-Wan to Prime Minister Lama Su, who mistook Obi-Wan for Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Obi-Wan informed Lama Su that Sifo-Diyas had been killed almost ten years prior. Lama Su replied that Sifo-Diyas would have been proud of the army they had created in accordance with his request. He explained to the surprised Jedi that they had been under orders to create a clone army for the Republic. Lama Su took Obi-Wan to see the clones and explained their growth process and training. Obi-Wan also learned from the prime minister that the original template for the clone army was a bounty hunter named Jango Fett. Obi-Wan asked to meet Jango Fett, and Taun We took him to Jango's quarters. Obi-Wan met Jango and asked him intrusive questions concerning any recent visits to Coruscant. After their meeting, Jango and his clone son, Boba Fett, attempted to flee Kamino in the bounty hunter's ship, Slave I. Obi-Wan confronted Jango, and the two fought on the landing platform. At the end of the battle, Obi-Wan fell off the platform, and Jango believed he had fallen into the sea. However, Obi-Wan managed to catch hold of a bridge, and he returned to the platform to see Slave I taking off with just enough time for Obi-Wan to attach a homing beacon to Jango's hull.

First Battle of Geonosis
"Attack those federation starships, quickly."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the battle

Obi-Wan pursued Slave I in his Jedi starfighter to the planet Geonosis. While still in the planet's rings, Jango Fett realized Obi-Wan had followed him, and he tried to destroy him. Thinking that he had destroyed Obi-Wan with a seismic charge, Jango continued to the planet's surface. Obi-Wan followed and discovered Trade Federation ships on the surface. After landing, Obi-Wan snuck into a room where he heard Count Dooku addressing the Separatist Council and mentioning the attempts at Senator Amidala's life were at the request of Nute Gunray. Realizing the importance of what he had discovered, Obi-Wan attempted to transmit a message to Coruscant, but found he was unable to. Instead, he sent the message to Anakin on Tatooine for him to retransmit on to Coruscant. While delivering the message, Obi-Wan was captured and held prisoner. While detained, Dooku visited Obi-Wan and attempted to convince the Jedi to join him. Obi-Wan refused, and Dooku went on to explain to him that the Republic was under the influence of a Sith Lord named Darth Sidious. Obi Wan had suspected that there could be a Sith Lord in the Senate, however Obi-Wan refused to believe Dooku, and Obi-Wan was sentenced to execution in the Petranaki Arena. He was joined in the arena by Anakin and Padmé who, in their attempt to rescue Obi-Wan, were also captured. All three were chained to large stone pillars, while three beasts - a Reek, an Acklay, and a Nexu - were unleashed upon them. Thankfully, a huge Jedi task force led by Mace Windu soon arrived to rescue the prisoners. The Jedi fought back against the overwhelming droid armies, but soon only a few survivors were left in the center of the arena, surrounded by droids. Just as they were about to be executed, the clone army arrived, led by Master Yoda. The clones fought back against the droids and rescued the Jedi and Padmé. Obi-Wan, Padmé, and Anakin boarded the same Republic LAAT transport. They soon caught sight of Dooku, who was fleeing on his speeder. Anakin and Obi-Wan caught up with Dooku and dueled with the Sith Lord. Dooku wounded Obi-Wan and cut off Anakin's right arm at the elbow. Yoda then arrived, and Dooku escaped by using the Force to cause the ceiling to cave in, forcing Yoda to focus on protecting Anakin and Obi-Wan from the collapsing ceiling instead of on the Sith.

After the Jedi returned to Coruscant, Obi-Wan met with Mace Windu and Yoda in the Jedi Council room to discuss the Battle of Geonosis that had just taken place. Obi-Wan noted that it would not have been a victory without the clones, but Yoda countered by saying it was not a victory at all because it meant the beginning of the Clone Wars.

Battle of Christophsis
Sometime after the battle of Geonosis, Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were sent on a mission to bring relief supplies to Senator Bail Organa and the Republic forces that were trapped on Christophsis because of a Separatist blockade. The Republic provided a stealth ship for Anakin and Obi-Wan, which was equipped with a cloaking device. Instead of sneaking past the blockade to deliver the supplies as he was ordered, Anakin used the ship to attack the flagship of Admiral Trench. Anakin was successful in his attack, and the blockade was broken.

Following this skirmish in space, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and their clone troopers were sent to the planet's surface to fight off the droid army taking control of the planet. After their position is ambushed, Obi-Wan and his troops are forced to retreat, but in the process they take the severed head of a tactical droid with them. After analyzing the data from the droid, Captain Rex and Commander Cody realize that the Separatists knew their position ahead of time. This leads Obi-Wan to suspect there may be a traitor in their midst. Anakin and Obi-Wan decide to go behind enemy lines while Rex and Cody investigate to see who the spy might be. Anakin and Obi-Wan find Asajj Ventress and duel with her. Just when they think they have captured her, Ventress escapes by cutting a hole in the floor, and the Jedi pursue only to discover an enormous Separatist army ready to take over Christophsis. Meanwhile, the traitor clone Slick has been captured by Rex and Cody, but not before he had destroyed the weapons depot, and many of the gunships and AT-TEs.

Situation on Mandalore
When a republic ship was attacked by a Mandalorian Saboteur and Rumors began to spread throughout the Senate, that Satine was backing the formation of an Army so the Mandalore could fight the Republic and Join the Separatists. the Jedi Council sent Obi-Wan Kenobi to investigate the situation. After arriving at the Capital City, the Mandalorian Government denies their involvement and claims that they would never attack a Republic Cruiser and that their leader, Duchess Satine Kryze "values peace more than own life." Satine is angered at the accusations and claims that the Senate is eager to intervene in the Planet's affairs before being corrected by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Satine then takes Obi-Wan on a walk through the city and informs him of a renegade group of warriors known as Death Watch, who idolize the the Warrior-like ways of the Past and feel that Satine's Pacifist approach has tainted the very name Mandalore. Death Watch meanwhile, has, in fact, earned the backing of Count Dooku and the Separatists, hoping to overthrow Satine and her "Weak, Peace-loving Government". During the walk through the city, The Death Watch attacked a Peace Shrine and the attacker, like the one on the Cruiser, took his own life rather than be subject to questioning. As a result, Obi-Wan is escorted by Satine to one of their moons, Concordia. While on the ship, Kenobi learns that Concordia was once a mining facility but the facilities were supposedly abandoned after the end of a Civil War. Once he lands on the Moon, Kenobi meets with Pre Viszla, the Governor of Concordia. Fearing the Mining Facilities to be operational, he went out to investigate and discovered that not only was one of their facilities still active, but that Death Watch was using it as base. Kenobi was taken hostage by the Death Watch, who then put Kenobi on one of their Mining machines. Satine was told of this, and arrives to save Kenobi who barely escapes after Satine shuts the Machine off. The two of them tried to escape, but were ambushed by the Death Watch. The Commander of the Death Watch arrived to face Kenobi personally, telling his men to evacuate. The Commander was revealed to be none other than Viszla himself. Viszla then used a Lightsaber stolen by his ancestors to fight Kenobi personally. Viszla was injured in the fight and ordered his Warriors to kill him. Kenobi and Satine escaped through a lift and return to Mandalore, barely surviving. The Death Watch decided not to go after her, saying that there was no time. Kenobi then believed that the Separatists were backing the Death Watch, angering the Duchess and causing her to walk away from Kenobi as they left for Coruscant so she could plead to the Senate for the Republic to stay out of the War.

On their way to Coruscant, Obi-Wan Kenobi met with his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, along with several Clones assigned to protect Satine and a few senators who accompanied her to Coruscant. Kenobi became part of a heated debate with the Duchess over what the best course of action was to deal with the Conflict. Kenobi then told Anakin about a mission Kenobi had when he was younger. He and Qui-Gon Jinn were sent to protect the Duchess from insurgents. Because they sent Bounty Hunters to find her, the two were on the run, "living hand to mouth, never knowing what the next day would bring." A Civil War killed most of Satine's people, which led to the rise of the New Mandalorians, which Satine led.

The Separatists managed to smuggle assassin probes on board the ship. The Probes proceeded to attack the Clones. One of the Probes managed to make it to the upper decks to attack the Duchess. They discovered that smaller droids were inside the Probe and were overwhelmed by them. Luckily, R2-D2 and Satine managed to stop the droids by deactivating them. Anakin then investigated how the Probes were smuggled on board, only to find out that one of the Senators smuggled them on board. Obi-Wan figured how to interrogate the Senators to determine the turncoat. Kenobi trapped one of the little probes under a serving dish and walked up to each Senator to see how the droid would react. Despite Satine accusing Obi-Wan of torture, the traitor was revealed, Tal Merrik, who represented Mandalore and another Planet in the Senate. Merrik then managed to pull a blaster and took the Duchess hostage. He then killed the Crew of the Coronet and contacted Death Watch, who sent Droid reinforcements. Kenobi managed to find the Duchess, while Anakin and the Clones engaged the Droids to protect the ship and the Senators. After Kenobi finds Merrik, Merrik threatened to blow up the ship, and because of this, the Duchess confessed her feelings to Obi-Wan, who said that he would have left the Jedi Order if she told him earlier. The Romantic display disgusted Merrik, who said that he would win, no matter what happened to the Duchess. Satine managed to use this to her advantage by slamming Merrik in the foot and taking his blaster. Merrik then stated that neither of them could kill him. Satine would be seen as a hypocrite to her Ideals and Kenobi would be hailed as a hero by everyone except the Duchess, who would view him as a killer. Merrik was then killed by Anakin, who managed to sneak up from behind and stab him in the back after he threatened to blow up the ship. After Arriving on Coruscant, Satine and Kenobi reflected upon the situation, and she flirted with him, saying his beard hides too much of his "handsome face."

Count Dooku, who had been helping Death Watch, told Pre Viszla to send a Death Watch Assassin to Corsucant to take the Duchess out while she pleaded her case to the Senate.

During a session of the Senate, Satine pleaded her case, but the Chancellor felt that the organization is a threat to the Republic. Satine then reasserted her governments' position, but the Chancellor played a recording from one of her officials, Mandalore's Deputy Prime Minister Jerec, who begged for Republic assistance, saying that the Mandalorian Government "acts out of pride and rejects the help of the Jedi", and that the Duchess would be responsible for the Planet's demise. Satine then demanded to speak to Jerec but learns that he was killed during a bombing on Kalevala. Palpatine told the Senate not to let Jerec's death go in vain and that the vote would take place the next day.

Kenobi, who was watching the meeting, went to greet the Duchess, who had stormed out of the Senate Building. Obi-Wan tried to reason with her, but her anger caused her to ignore him. Her anger gets worse when Kenobi told her not to rush to make decisions and called her "Foolhardy". Satine then boarded a Speeder that had been rigged with explosives by the Death Watch. She managed to jump out of the ship as it detonated and barely survived. Kenobi then confronted her over the situation. He felt that Satine was a obvious target, and that someone was trying to push for the war to come to Mandalore. Amidala found the Duchess to tell her that the attempt on her life accelerated the Senate's Decision and that Republic Troops would be headed for Mandalore the next morning.

Satine later went to meet a contact who managed to learn that the recording presented to the Senate was a forgery. The Contact then gave her a disc containing the actual recording. The Contact, however, was immediately shot by the Death Watch Assassin. Satine pulled out a blaster, which leads to the Police believing that she killed him. She went on the run and managed to find Kenobi in the City's Mid-level, whom she tells to hand the disc to Senator Amidala while she turns herself into Republic Authorities. The Assassin attacked the Duchess, but is saved by Kenobi who fights the Assasian, allowing her to escape. Satine was able to turn herself in while Kenobi sneaked in to hand the recording to Padme, who rushed into the latest session to show the full recording to the Senate. The next morning, Palpatine told her that the Occupation was abolished, and apologized on behalf of the Senate and the entire Republic. Satine then thanked Obi-Wan for remaining loyal to her. Kenobi told her that her perseverance saved Mandalore from the Republic Occupation and acknowledged a comment she made earlier, that the times were indeed changing, despite still not knowing who tried to drag Mandalore into war and have the Duchess framed for murder.

Dangerous Encounter on Mortis
Later on, during the war, the Jedi received a distress call, one not used in over 2000 years. Obi-Wan along with Anakin and Ahsoka were sent to investigate. They were to meet with Captain Rex, who was standing by in Republic Cruiser. However, both Rex and Anakin were at the rendezvous point but were unable to see each other. Eventually, the Jedi ship is guided to a mysterious planet by The Force. The events led them to Mortis, where they were greeted by three mysterious figures. Eventually, Anakin is separated from Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. the two seek shelter while Anakin seeks answers about where he is. In a vision, Qui-Gon Jinn appears to Kenobi explaining the purpose of the planet they are on and that the three figures they encounter, like Qui-Gon, believe Anakin is the Chosen one. Obi-Wan expresses his concerns about Anakin but Qui-Gon reassures him that he is the Chosen one and that Anakin will learn it on this planet.

Anakin, seeks out the leading figure of the three, The Father of Mortis, who explains that the strength in the force that they had was so powerful that he took his children and isolated them to prevent them from wreaking havoc in the Universe. The Son of Mortis however, has become strong with the Dark Side and with the Chosen One on their planet, he was ready to leave and sow chaos and terror throughout the Universe.

In a test, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka were taken captive by the Son and Daughter and were ordered to kill them, only Anakin could stop him, which he does, proving that he is the Chosen One.

Eventually, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka try to leave the planet but Ahsoka was kidnapped by The Son and corrupted by him. Obi-Wan fears that The Father wanted to divide them among themselves and that he would seek his guidance. Anakin however, decides to seek out Ahsoka. While heading for the Monastery, The Son feels that The Father needed to go and attempted to kill him, knocking him unconscious. Obi-Wan is shown the Planet's Altar and a Dagger capable of Killing The Son.

Anakin, successfully locates his Padawan but discovers that she has been corrupted. She tells him that if he does not turn to the Dark Side, The Son will kill her. Anakin, saying he will not let her, is later forced to fight Ahsoka as she ignites her lightsaber and engages Anakin in combat.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Daughter of Mortis try to stop The Son but Obi-Wan is told of Anakin's fight and goes to help him. The Daughter and Son then ultimately engage in a fight but it is broken up by a weakened Father. Obi-Wan tries to stop The Son by handing Anakin the dagger, but, Ahsoka grabs it and gives it to the Son who tries to kill the father. The Daughter however, sacrifices her life to save him and ultimately, with her last breathe, revives Ahsoka, who was killed by The Son as her usefulness came to an end.

Obi-Wan tries to stop the Son by handing Anakin the dagger, but, Ahsoka grabs it and gives it to The Son who tries to kill the father. The Daughter however, sacrifices her life to save him and ultimately, with her last breathe, revives Ahsoka, who was killed by The Son as her usefulness came to an end. Eventually, the father commanded that Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka leave the planet as The Son could use their ship to escape their isolation.

Eventually, the crash-landing that occurred during the chase is revealed to have caused substantial damage to the ship. Anakin sets off to see the Father who is told by both him and the Ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn to look inside of himself to choose what he must do. Eventually, Anakin goes personally to confront The Son but while doing so, The Son explains that Anakin and him do not need to be enemies, Anakin refusing to buy it, is shown a vision of his future, which includes Padmé's death, the Duel on Mustafar, the Destruction of Alderaan, and the life-support suit alongside the breathing. Appalled by this vision, Anakin joins The Son hoping to prevent the events he witnessed from happening.

The Father, possibly knowing of Kenobi's curiosity of Anakin's whereabouts, goes to see Obi-Wan and tells him that Anakin has gone to the well of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan rushes to save Anakin, despite being told not to interfere (which he says isn't the case since he and Ahsoka were also on the planet). Obi-Wan however, is too late. Anakin pushes Obi-Wan's speeder aside and The Son manages to injure him from behind. Anakin explains that he needed to do what he could to stop The Clone Wars and stated that Kenobi would try to stop him.



Eventually, Ahsoka manages to remove a part of the ship and heads to rescue Obi-Wan. Anakin meanwhile, was visited by The Father who wiped his memory and brought him to The Monastery. They eventually determined that they had to kill The Son who arrives just as the decision to do so is made. The Father tricks The Son by stabbing himself allowing Anakin to sneak behind and Kill The Son. With The Father and Son killed, Mortis fades into existence and Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka return to the rendezvous point where Rex says "We Thought we lost you for a moment"

The Citadel Operation
After a Battle near Murkhana, Jedi Master Even Piell is captured by the Separatists and imprisoned in the Citadel, a fortress built for Jedi who lost their way, that fell in Separatist hands prior to the start of the War.

Piell was carrying coordinates to a hyperspace route that could tip the scale of the war to whoever held it. The Jedi Council comes up with a plan to rescue Piell involving Anakin, Obi-Wan and their Battalions. Anakin, in this process, decided to leave his Apprentice on Coruscant. Ahsoka, angered by this, ignores her master and chooses to join them. Anakin decides to have the men frozen in Carbonite to prevent the Prison's life sensors from detecting them, With Ahsoka smuggling herself along with them.

Although angered by his Padawan's disobedience, Anakin has no chouce but to allow Ahsoka to be on the planet for the operation. Her presence however, helps them as she manages to sneak through the a small ventilation chamber to disable the Prison's Ray-shielding. The Prison however, eventually manages to detect them when one of the droids says that a shipment never landed and one of the Clones is electrocuted by the Prison mines. Breaking through the prison, they manage to located Piell, who was about to lose one of his eyes. Piell reveals that when the ship crashed, him and one of the Captains, each memorized half of the intel, that way if one person broke, the information would be useless without the other half. The men, now with Master Piell accompanying them, manage to head to rescue the other officers, despite nearly being captured. The captain is later revealed to be Wilhuff Tarkin, a Eriadu-born captain who would ultimately play a pivotal role in both the Fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire, where he would serve as the Governor of the Outer Rim as well as the commander of the Death Star Battle Station.

The group eventually splits into two, despite Tarkin suggesting they stick together, with Anakin escorting his future right-hand man with Ahsoka and the 501st while Obi-Wan, Evan Piell and the 212th Battalion created a diversion to allow R2-D2 and a group of re-programmed battle droids to take them off the planet.

The prison's commander, Osi Sobeck, is unsuccessful in stopping their escape and is ultimately contacted by Count Dooku who believes that his presence is needed, despite the Commander's reassurances that the situation was under control.

Kenobi's diversion is successful. Anakin, Ahsoka and the 501st are able to escape the prison through one of the old tunnels but Obi-Wan and his men are stuck dealing with the droids and are ultimately captured before making it to the rendezvous point. Greeted by Sobeck, they are escorted to the prison room until R2's droids manage to free them allowing them to head for Anakin's position, the prison airfield.

Realizing the deception, Sobeck sends a squad to fight the Clones and manage to destroy the ship before they could board it. The battle leads to the death of Echo, one of the ARC-Troopers in the 501st and a narrow victory for the Jedi. Because of this, Piell contacts the Jedi Council requesting a rescue mission. Because of this, Plo Koon, Saesee Tiin are Adi Galia are sent to lead a mission of clones to rescue the trapped Jedi.

The Jedi eventually head for a new rendezvous point for their pickup. There, Obi-Wan engages in a debate with both Tarkin and Skywalker over the role of the Jedi in the Clone Wars. Tarkin feels that the Jedi Code prevents them from achieving major victories in the Battle while Obi-Wan sees things differently.

Sobeck, again contacted by Dooku, sends a squad of droids with Anoobas to hunt down the Jedi. Realizing that the Clones are being followed, the team once again splits up with Anakin and Obi-Wan leading a diversion. Ahsoka and the rest of the team is ambushed and Piell and Ahsoka are separated from the rest of the crew. Piell is killed however when an Anooba manages to maul him to death. Piell manages to give Ahsoka his half of the intel as he dies. Piell's body is then thrown into a river of lava with a rock covering it. Sobeck however, decides to lead a squad of droids to fight the Jedi personally, the battle leads to Sobeck's ship being shot down with Ahsoka killing him and saving the life of Tarkin, who was about to be thrown into the lava.

The team returns home to Coruscant where the Council is ready to receive the information when Tarkin says that he was ordered by the Chancellor to deliver the information to him only. As Yoda agrees to meet with the Chancellor, Obi-Wan and Anakin ask Plo Koon if he assigned Ahsoka to the mission, in which he replies "I guess I did".

Skirmish on Raydonia
Later during the War, Obi-Wan learned that Darth Maul, who he believed to have killed on Naboo, was still alive. Maul was found on a dump of Lotho Minor by his brother, Savage Opress, who brought him to Dathomir where the Witch, Mother Talzin revived him and restored his sanity. Maul was determined to have his revenge, and lured Obi-Wan to Raydonia. There, Obi-Wan wasn't sure if Darth Maul was who he claimed to be, but Maul proved it by telling him about their shared experience at the Battle of Naboo. The two engaged in a fight where Savage Opress helped Maul knock out Obi-Wan. He was then brought aboard Maul's ship, who intended to have Obi-Wan awake so that his death would just as painful as the last ten years of Maul's life. Obi-Wan however was rescued by Asajj Ventress, who was trying to collect the bounty on Savage Opress' head. The fight nearly had Obi-Wan turn to the Dark Side but he gained the upper hand with the help of Ventress, who managed to trap Maul and Savage in the back of the ship, leaving them stranded in Deep Space.

Maul and Savage began wreaking havoc on the Galaxy as well as killing Jedi. They then broke into a high secure vault on a space station where they managed to rob the facility, but Maul asserted his dominance over Savage and told them that they needed to stick to one singular vision.

Skirmish on Florrum
Meanwhile, the Council sent Obi-Wan and Adi Galia who manage to trace them to the Meridian Sector. Once they spoke the man in charge of the space station, they learned the brothers were headed to Florrum.

When one of the Lieutenants observed that their ship was stranded, they attempted to take what was on the ship but were attacked by Maul. Maul then offered them to join his cause or be killed. On Florrum, Maul contacts the leader of the Pirates, Hondo Ohnaka, who is given the same choice as the rest of the crew. Kenobi, who has been following Maul contacts Hondo to inquire about the situation who says that "Two Horned Men" showed up and threatened to attack with his own men. Kenobi says he can't help Hondo with his men but can help stop the Sith.

Obi-Wan and Galia managed to engage Maul and Savage just as they begin their attack on Florrum. As the fight progresses, Galia is killed by Savage and after taking up her fallen lightsaber to help defend himself, Kenobi is forced to retreat.

Eventually, inside a cave, Hondo decides to ambush the men and Kenobi decides to confront Maul and Savage. While Hondo reunites his gang, Kenobi violently fights Maul and injures Savage. Realizing their plan has failed, they leave and head off-planet to regroup and try again another time.

Maul's ship however is shot down and the two are forced to head for an escape pod. Kenobi goes with Hondo to see "what riches have fallen from the sky."

Obi-Wan, meanwhile, returns to Coruscant where he explains to Chancellor Palpatine about the situation regarding Darth Maul but Palpatine dismisses Maul and says that the Jedi needed to focus on the Separatist threat, despite Kenobi's fears of the Underworld being a place where Maul can flourish. What Kenobi did not know is that Chancellor Palpatine, who is also the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, had his own plans to deal with Maul and smiles after realizing that he is alive.

Mandalore
After spending some time stranded in space, Maul and Savage were discovered by another group of warriors, The Death Watch, who took them back to their base. Maul later spoke to Viszla, curious to know what he was. Realizing they have a common enemy in Kenobi, Maul offered to help them reclaim Mandalore.

The Death Watch ultimately decided to accept Maul's offer, despite Maul force choking their second-in-command, Bo-Katan. Maul then proceeded to recruit a number of criminal organizations to help him, just as Obi-Wan predicted.

The Group then proceeded to attack Mandalore. Part of Maul's plan involved Maul's criminal allies attacking the planet and defeating the planet's security forces, while Death Watch would stage an arrest and appear to the Mandalorians as Liberators. Maul would then command a Criminal Underworld known as the Shadow Collective while Death Watch would control Mandalore under the protection of Maul and his gang.

The Plan went well, but because of Pre Viszla's distrust of Maul, the arrest became legitimate and Pre Viszla managed to seize control of the Planet. Maul, however, had not given up, and managed to free another enemy of Kenobi's, the planet's former Prime Minister, Almec. Maul then challanged Viszla for leadership and managed to kill him. Because of the Mandalorian Code, Maul was then the leader of Death Watch, but the group was divided into two, the factions loyal to Maul, and the factions loyal to Bo-Katan. Maul appointed Almec as his puppet Prime Minister and gave him, for the most part, free reign, but threatened to hold him personally accountable for any failures.

With Satine imprisoned, Maul eventually descended the planet into chaos. The Death Watch and Maul's Loyalists were fighting for control of the Planet.

Some of the former Cadets that served Satine tried to stage a rescue, with the assistance of Bo-Katan, but their efforts fall short, as their speeder was shot down.

Eventually, Satine sent a distress call to Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Jedi Council. Not knowing of Maul's involvement, the Council declared it to be an internal affair. Obi-Wan however, ignored this and went anyway. Obi-Wan disguised himself as one of the Shadow Guards and tried to free Satine, but realizing that he has arrived, Maul personally hunted down Kenobi and managed to ensure that the Twilight is shot down before it could leave.

Maul, realizing Kenobi's feelings for Satine, deicded to execute her with Kenobi watching hoping that he would feel the same pain Maul did when he was forced to live in exile after being brutally injured by Kenobi on Naboo. Maul again attempted to sway Kenobi to the Dark Side but he refused and says that only those who are weak embrace the Dark Side. Maul, angered by the comment, let Satine go, but stabbed her with Pre-Viszla's lightsaber. She ultimately died in Obi-Wan's arms saying with her last breath, that she always loved him and always would. Maul then had his guards escort Kenobi to a cell where he could "drown in his misery" and "rot."

Bo-Katan however, intercepted Kenobi as he was being transferred to the prison area. Katan then freed Kenobi, and had him help her find Maul and kill him.

Maul however, was dealing with his own problems. Having sensed a disturbance in the force, Darth Sidious headed to confront his former apprentice. Maul attempted to downplay the situation, saying he hoped to return to his side, but Sidious saw through his lies and attacked him and Savage. Maul and Savage engaged Sidious in a duel. However, Sidious' years of experience got the better of them both. Sidious killed Savage and reminds Maul of the Rule of Two.

Maul then viciously engaged Sidious, but lost. Sidious then electrocuted Maul with Force Lightning. Maul begged for mercy, but was reminded of one of the many rules of the Sith.

Kenobi meanwhile, managed to escape and made it to his ship. Bo-Katan, who focuses on her fight, told Kenobi to warn the Republic of what had happened. Kenobi told her that it would lead to an invasion of Mandalore, but she says that Maul's death would be worth it, and that they would survive. Kenobi, before leaving, asked Bo-Katan if Satine was her sister, and apologized for her loss.

Conspiracy on Kamino
While fighting a battle on Ringo Vinda, One of Anakin's clone troopers, Tup, murders one of the Jedi Generals. After being sent to Kamino for examination, Kenobi suggests that Tup be brought back to the Jedi Temple where he would be examined through the Force.

As it turns out, the situation was part of a major conspiracy. When the Clone Army was first created, Darth Sidious, had his apprentice plant Inhibitor chips inside the minds of every clone allowing him to obey his commands without question. Part of the clones programming were protocols. One of those Protocols, allowed the Clone Troopers to execute their Jedi Generals. Tup's clone malfunctioned causing him to preemptively execute the Protocol. Eventually, ARC Trooper Fives is able to uncover this mystery but accidentally killed Tup and becomes a criminal when the Chancellor fakes an Assassination attempt and the Jedi and the Kaminoan Scientist call him defective. This leads to Fives Death before he could reveal anything to the Jedi.

The Return of Rush Clovis
Shortly After, Rush Clovis, a former Senator who was branded a traitor for helping the Banking Clan finance Droid Foundries on another planet. Padmé Amidala is sent by Palpatine to Scipio to agree to a loan on behalf of the Republic. Clovis, who the Banking Clan appoints to discuss the terms and conditions of the loans, is able to expose that there is no money in the Banks as some of the Separatists have not repaid their loans. Clovis tells her that convinces Padmé to help her break in to the Bank's vault. there, they set up a charge, and Padmé is able to steal the files from the vault. Padmé is later arrested for Espionage but manages to end up in the custody of Anakin Skywalker, who threatens to leave her on the Planet when he learns that she is once again working for Clovis. Skywalker reluctantly agrees to head to Clovis' personal home to gain the files that they had stolen. After a fierce verbal confrontation with Clovis, a Bounty hunter tries to kill her, Anakin manages to get her and Clovis off the planet before she is killed.

When Clovis is brought to Coruscant, Kenobi confronts Anakin, who still holds personal resentment for Clovis after the events on Cato Neimoidia. Kenobi tells Anakin that he cannot let his feelings for Padmé get in the way of his judgement.

Anakin however, would be right, despite assaulting Clovis and Padmé telling him that they should never see each other again. Clovis would align himself with Count Dooku and when he is installed as head of the Banking Clan, agrees to raise the interest rates on all the Republic Loans, while allowing the Separatists to get away with their debt.

Dooku, then stages an invasion of Scipio and takes Padmé hostage. Anakin then leads a squad of troops to liberate the planet and there, he manages to confront Clovis. The building however, is destroyed during the attack and Anakin has to save the lives of both Padmé and Clovis. Clovis however, chooses to kill himself. Padmé and Anakin are then able to rekindle their relationship. The Banking Clan meanwhile, is now under the direct control of the Chancellor, thus giving Sidious more power in his quest to form a New Order.

Uncovering a Dark Secret
Sometime after the Deaths of Tup and Fives, Jedi Master Plo Koon intercepts a distress call from a shuttle once thought to have been lost. Koon and his squad of clones, not only discover the shuttle, but also, the lightsaber of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Kenobi reminds the Council that Sifo-Dyas spearheaded the creation of the Clone Army. Wuth the discovery of his shuttle, the Jedi Council decide to re-launch the investigation of his death.

Jocasta Nu reminds the Jedi that he was killed while trying to resolve a conflict between the Native Felucians but discover that the remaining files on his death, are sealed under the orders of the Chancellor. Obi-Wan, along with Anakin are sent to Felucia to find out from all who were present on thay day, what happened to him. Kenobi is told that the Felucians cremated his body and that a Second Jedi was with him when he was killed. The two are then sent to Oba Diah when Former Chancellor, Finis Valorum tells Yoda that Sifo-Dyas was sent to negotiate with the Pykes to stop an Underground War. Valorum, however, says that there wasn't another Jedi sent with them but rather, his personal aide. Silman.

Meanwhile, After meeting with Yoda as Palpatine, Darth Sidious contacts Count Dooku asking him why the Jedi were hunting down Sifo-Dyas and that he needed to eliminate any loose ends before the Jedi learn what acutally happened. Kenobi and Skywalker, then meet the Pykes who at first, deny any involvement. But then, Kenobi notices that the leader of Pykes was wearing the crest of Valorum. Anakin violently grabs the necklace and tells him to "Stop Playing Games." the Pykes finally complied with the Jedi and are told that the Pykes were paid by a man called Tyranus to shoot down the shuttle of Sifo-Dyas but because they feared that anyone who paid for the death of a Jedi was dangerous, they needed Insurance so, they kept Silman locked away for 10 years.

They then met Silman who has gone crazy after being locked up for years. Silman tells the Jedi that the Pykes were not to be trusted. As this is going on, Dooku sneaks on to the Planet and manages to Kill Silman before he could reveal the name of the Jedi who accompained Syfo-Dyas. Seeing Dooku, Anakin and Obi-Wan engaged Dooku in combat where they learned thay the man called Tyranus was really Count Dooku. Because of this, the Council deducts that Dooku was soleyy responsible for the Creation of the Clone Arny. Questioning why their enemy created them an army, Yoda explains that all that they just learned was really the work of theDark Lord of the Sith and that at all they could do is "play his game" and wait to see what his next move was.

Yoda, ultimately meditates. hoping to find an answer to situation they faced and manages to somehow commune with Kenobi's former Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, who has learned the secret to immortality. Yoda begins to scare everyone, including Kenobi. Mace Windu suggests that the Council keep an eye on him. Ultimately, Yoda speaks to the Council about his problem and the Council preforms a joint meditation with him but hear nothing. Yoda then volunteers to preform a test but Kenobi (along with Anakin) believes that the test is too dangerous for him and that because of his droping vital signs, he tells the Nurse to stop the test and tries to get Yoda to snap out of his meditation. Yoda ultimately hears Qui-Gonn's voice again and is told to travel to the planet Dagobah, to complete something he could not and that he must travel alone. Yoda, then, in a somewhat dreary state, claims to have spoken with the dead. The Council then decides to place Yoda inthee Medical Bay with guards stationed at all the doors, essentially, making him a prisoner. Ki-Adi-Mundi believes that Yoda is under attack by the Sith and that the lord was using his connection to Count Dooku to attack them. Kenobi however, feels differently saying that all the Jedi apprenticed to Yoda and that he cannot be blamed for Dooku's fall to the Dark Side.

Anakin however, helps Master Yoda escape and Sends his astromech, R2-D2 with him. Yoda heads for Dagobah where he is told that he was chosen to be taught how to manifest his conscious after his death. Yoda then journeys to another planet where he is tested by Priestesses. He then goes to Moraband, where he sees an illusion of him and Anakin leading a squad of Clones on a covert operation to capture Dooku. Yoda proves that he is worthy of knowing this secret and is told that Qui-Gonn Jinn would help guide his training. He returns to Corsucant where he tells Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu that he no longer believes that the Jedi could win the Clone Wars but that, through hope and perseverance, the Jedi would ultimately triumph over the Sith.

The End of the War
"I sense Count Dooku.''" "And I sense a trap." "Next move?" "''Spring the trap."

- Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi

As the war was dying down, General Grievous managed to sneak on to the planet Coruscant, where he kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and brought him on board his personal flagship, the Invisible Hand. Obi-Wan and Anakin fought their way through a Separatist blockade. The two boarded the ship to find the Chancellor being held prisoner at the top of the ship's observation spire. Not long after they arrive, Count Dooku comes from behind and the two Jedi engage him in a fight.

The Sith Apprentice manages to gain the upper hand and pushes Kenobi aside and knocking him out by pushing a stairway to crush him. Anakin, then manages to cut Dooku's arm off and kill him using both his lightsaber and Dooku's. Anakin rescues Obi-Wan, despite Palpatine telling him, there was no time to do so. Obi-Wan awakens finding himself hung upside down now clinging to Anakin's leg. They are eventually Ray-shielded and brought to General Grievous. Grievous then personally taunts them allowing R2-D2 to free them and for Obi-Wan and Anakin to confront Grievous. The General however, escapes by dashing a whole in the ship and taking one of the escape pods. Obi-Wan then asks Anakin if he could pilot the ship, which he does but causes the ship to crash land and the three are barely injured.

With Dooku dead, Obi-Wan returns to the Jedi Temple where he reports to the Council, who has grown suspicious of the Chancellor. Obi-Wan himself is concerned of the Chancellor's growing Power and tells Anakin to be careful of him.

Anakin meanwhile, is reunited with Padme Amidala, who reveals to him that she is pregnant. Anakin is at first, happy with this news but then begins seeing visions of her dying at Childbirth. He eventually, visits Palpatine after his presence is requested by the Chancellor. There, he is appointed the Chancellor's Personal Representative on the Jedi Council. The Council approves of the appointment but denies him the rank of "Jedi Master." Obi-Wan Kenobi later acknowledges his agreement with Anakin where he is forced to reveal the true nature of his appointment, so he could spy on the Chancellor, on behalf of the council, who wants to know what he's been doing.

Anakin would grow closer and closer to the Chancellor as he began planting lies and seeds of mistrust in the boy's mind. Obi-Wan grew concerned but is sent to Utapau when the location of General Grievous is discovered.

Before parting, Anakin apologizes to Obi-Wan who tells him that he needed patience and that he would soon become a master.

Obi-Wan heads to Utapau and manages to sneak up to fight Grievous personally who tells the droids to back away and that he would deal with Kenobi himself. Grievous then decides to challenge Kenobi in lightsaber combat. Kenobi manages to cut two of Grievous' Arms but the General gains the upper hand and manages almost kill Kenobi but luckily, Kenobi's battalion of Clones arrives and engages the Droids protecting Grievous. Using this situation, Grievous escapes and Obi-Wan manages to chase him to the landing platform where Obi-Wan manages to kill Grievous despite almost being kicked off the platform.

Order 66
"My clone troops turned on me. I need help.''" "''We have just rescued Master Yoda. It appears this ambush has happened everywhere."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Senator Organa

On Corsucant, Anakin Skywalker grew closer to the Chancellor who told him the Sith legend of a man who could use the force to not only create life, but save the ones he cared about from dying. When meeting with the Chancellor in his office regarding Obi-Wan being sent to fight Grievous, The Chancellor tells Anakin that he can help him break through "the fog of lies" that he was told by the Jedi. Palpatine would then offer Anakin to help him understand the subtleties of the force by teaching him the Dark Side. After stating that he knew of Anakin's marriage, he learned that Palpatine was the Sith Lord and the mastermind of all that has happened. At first, Anakin refuses his offer and goes off to warn the Jedi Council. But then, when Mace Windu takes a few Jedi to confront the Chancellor and Anakin is told to wait in the Council Chambers. he reconsiders and decides to help Windu. Windu and the men arrive at the Chancellor's Office. The Chancellor, pretends to know nothing about why the Jedi were there, the Jedi then tell him that he was under arrest. asking if he was being threatened, Windu tells him that the Senate will decide his fate, But he tells Windu that he is the Senate and Windu responds "Not Yet". The Chancellor ultimately calls the Jedi's actions "treason" and leaps out to fight them, killing three of the four Jedi leaving it to be Mace Windu fighting the Chancellor alone. Palpatine seems to have the upper hand but Windu manages to break the window causing Palpatine to kneel on the floor. His face is damaged and Windu tells him to surrender. As this happens, Anakin arrives. Both of the men try to plead for his help but Anakin feels that the Chancellor needed to stand trail. Anakin then lashes out in anger, cutting Windu's hand allowing the Chancellor to kill him.

Anakin is shocked at what he is done but then as Sidious speaks, he agrees to join the Dark Side, hoping to save his wife. Palpatine then declares that the Jed were enemies of the Republic and sends Anakin to kill the ones still in the Temple.

When the Clone Army was first created, Darth Sidious had his apprentice at the time. Count Dooku planted inhibitor chips in each clone, allowing them to obey him without question. Because of this, Sidious was able to take control of the Clones causing the Clones to turned on their Jedi Generals and kill them. On Utapau, Obi-Wan Kenobi manages to barely escape in Grievous' starfighter after being shot down by Commander Cody while riding one of the planet's creatures uphill. Throughout the Galaxy, Thousands of Jedi are killed by the Obedient Clones who do not even think about their actions and what they have done. Yoda, who was fighting alongside the Wookies, also escaped along with a young padawan named Kanan Jarrus who was instructed to by his master, Depa Billaba, to evacuate.

Obi-Wan is rescued by Bail Organa who has also picked up Master Yoda. The two Jedi decide that they must return to the Jedi Temple to stop anyone else from falling into the trap. Organa, however, is requested by the Senate to attend an emergency session, where Palpatine would declare the birth of the Galactic Empire.

Duel on Mustafar
"If you're not with me, then you're my enemy!" "Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must." "You will try."

- Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, just before their lightsaber duel

Obi-Wan and Yoda managed to return to the Temple, where Obi-Wan recalibrated the Jedi recall signal into a coded holographic message of himself, warning any of the surviving Jedi to stay away from the Temple, persevere for the future and to trust in the Force. They also discovered that the temple had become a site of mass murder, coming across dead Jedi of all ages, from masters to younglings and that many had been killed by a lightsaber. Desperate for answers, Obi-Wan checks the security recordings to find that Anakin Skywalker had led his battalion of clones to attack the temple. Kenobi is left in abject shock when the recordings also showed Anakin kneeling before the Emperor and proclaimed Darth Vader, his new apprentice.

Yoda determined that they must destroy the Sith. Obi-Wan at first refused to destroy Anakin and requested that he be sent to kill the Emperor, but Yoda states that he was not strong enough to defeat him. Obi-Wan expressed that Anakin was like a brother to him but Yoda explains that the boy Kenobi trained no longer existed.

Obi-Wan sought out Padmé Amidala, who refuses to believe Obi-Wan's claims saying that Anakin would never turn to the dark side or kill younglings. Padmé decided to seek out Vader, who had been sent to kill the Separatist leaders on Mustafar. Obi-Wan stowed away aboard her ship, hiding in one of the compartments.

After landing, she discoverd that Obi-Wan was right and that Anakin had changed. Before she could try to reason with him, Obi-Wan emerged from the ship and in a rage Vader Force choked her, thinking she brought him there to kill him. Vader accused Obi-Wan of trying to turn her against him but Obi-Wan stated that his anger and lust for power had already done that and that he had allowed Darth Sidious to twist his mind until he became the very thing he had sworn to destroy. Vader believed that he saw through the lies of the Jedi and that he no longer feared the dark side. Obi-Wan was told that if he wasn't with Vader, then, he was his enemy. Obi-Wan noted that Vader had spoken in absolutes as the Sith would and decided that he needed to stop them. Vader leaped at and the two engaged in a brutal duel.

The duel caused substantial damage to the facility, causing it to sink into the lava. Vader and Obi-Wan ultimately are hovering over the lava. Obi-Wan reflected on his failure while Vader stated that he should have known the Jedi were trying to take control of the Republic and that the Jedi were evil.

As the fight continued, Obi-Wan managed to jump to high ground on the embankment of the lava river, gaining a clear advantage over the Sith Lord. Ignoring Obi-Wan's warning not to try the jump, in his hubris Vader believed he could easily over come him and did so anyway; Obi-Wan severed his remaining natural arm and both legs in one strike. Heartbroken over his former Padawan's fall to the dark side, Kenobi retrived Vader's fallen Jedi lightsaber. "You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Anakin Skywalker

Vader's only response was that he hated Obi-Wan, causing him to tell Vader how he truly felt. "You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Anakin Skywalker

Having been slowly sliding down the bank to the heated edge of the river, Vader's clothes ignited and allowed the flames to cover most of his body, severely burning him. Leaving Vader to his apparent fate, Obi-Wan returned to Padmé's ship to find that she had been brought back on board by C-3PO. When she asked if Anakin was all right, he did not respond and let her rest.

When he left Vader, Kenobi believed he was going to die, but he survived and Palpatine went with a squad of clones to rescue him. Vader was taken back to Corsucant where he treated, given prosthetic limbs and a life-support suit. After the operation he asked Palpatine where Padmé was and if she was all right. Palpatine told Vader that he had killed her in anger, and the apprentice destroyed the operating room in anguish.

Exile on Tatooine
"I will take the child and watch over him."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Yoda and Bail Organa, referring to Luke

Following the long duel on Mustafar, Kenobi took Amidala to Polis Massa. There, He, along with Bail Organa and Yoda, discovered that not only was Amidala carrying twins but despite being medically healthy, Amidala had somehow lost the will the live. Kenobi was in the operating with Amidala as she gave birth to a baby boy and a baby girl. As she took her final breath, Amidala told Kenobi she knew there was still good in Anakin before she finally died.

After arriving on Naboo, Yoda suggested that the children should be kept hidden and kept safe. Kenobi also suggested that the children should be taken somewhere where the Sith could not sense their presence. That's when Yoda came up with the idea that the children should be split up. Organa would take the Leia to Alderaan as his wife, Breha and him had always talked about adopting a baby girl and that Leia would be loved with them. while Kenobi would take Luke to Tatooine where Luke would live with Anakin's step brother Owen and Beru Lars but Kenobi would also watch over him.

As the trio prepared to go their separate ways, Yoda asked Kenobi for a moment of his time. He revealed that in Kenobi's solitude on Tatooine, he had training for him. Yoda revealed that Kenobi's former master, Qui-Gon Jinn, had learnd the path to immortality and had returned from the Netherworld of the Force. Yoda said he would teach Kenobi on how to communicate with Qui-Gon.

A New Hope
"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen, with the dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi: trust in the Force. Do not return to the Temple; that time has passed, and our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged: our trust, our faith, our friendships. But we must persevere and, in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."

- Obi-Wan's warning in the recall signal

Kanan Jarrus possessed a holocron containing this message around five years before the Battle of Yavin.

Coming out of Exile
"Obi-Wan Kenobi... Obi-Wan. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker

Nineteen years after the events on Mustafar, a Battle over Tatooine caused Princess Leia Organa to record a message inside R2 requesting that Obi-Wan Kenobi help bring the droid, containing the plans to a battle station capable of destroying a planet to her father on Alderaan. C-3PO and R2-D2 are then forced to board an escape pod and land on desert planet. The two droids, lost, are eventually knocked out and kidnapped.

After being captured by Jawas, the droids are sold to Luke Skywalker who stumbles on the message while cleaning R2-D2.

Obi-Wan had been forbidden from seeing Luke, fearing that he would end up following in his father's footsteps. Owen began telling Luke lies about his father. Determined to carry on his mission, R2-D2 runs away and the next morning, Luke and Threepio set off to find them. R2 is found near Obi-Wan's hut and is knocked unconscious by a Tusken Raider. Obi-Wan sees the droid hiding and tells him to come help him. Luke awakens to find Ben, asking him why he's traveled so far. When aksed if he knew Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ben responds that he was indeed Obi-Wan and takes Luke inside his hut.

There, Luke learns the truth about his father and is given his Lightsaber. At first, Obi-Wan asks Luke to join him on his trip to Alderaan but Luke refuses, saying that he was needed back on his farm.

Luke and Ben then discover that Stormtroopers had been on the planet and that they were looking for the Droids. Luke heads back home despite Obi-Wan's warning not to. Luke discovers the bodies of his parents and the charred ruins of their Hut. Luke, feeling that he has no purpose on the planet anymore, agrees to go with Obi-Wan and learn the ways of the Force.

When searching for a pilot, they find two people; Han Solo, a Smuggler from Corellia and his first mate, Chewbacca, a Wookiee from the planet, Kashyyyk. The two owned and piloted the Millennium Falcon, a ship not only capable of outrunning imperial vessels, but also one of the fastest ships in the Galaxy.

When they try to escape, Stormtroopers, sent to hunt down the droids, attack them causing Han to make a hasty exit. Even though, they had left the planet, Two Star Destroyers were still on their tail. Thankfully, the Falcon is able to enter hyperspace allowing them to escape.

Meanwhile, Darth Vader and Governor Tarkin, had arrived on the Death Star and held Princess Leia prisoner in the detention blocks, hoping to get the location of the Rebel Base. When she is able to resist an Imperial Mind Probe, They decide to use an alternative form of persuasion. With the Death Star Operational, they decided that unless Princess Leia revealed the base's location, they would test the station's destructive power on Alderaan. Although Leia gives them a Military Location, They still decide to destroy Alderaan since the Planet she gave them, was too remote to make an effective demonstration.

As the Falcon exited Hyperspace, they discovered that the planet had been destroyed. As a TIE Fighter approaches them, Han decides to shoot the ship but Luke notices that the ship is coming from what they thought was a small moon.

"That's no moon. It's a space station."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca

Obi-Wan tells Han Solo to turn the ship around, to which, he agrees. The Ship however, is pulled in by a Tractor Beam before they could turn around. Vader, believing the Droids to be on board, orders the Troops to inspect the ship but then senses the Presence of Obi-Wan Kenobi, causing him to find Tarkin who at first refuses to believe that he's even still alive. Tarkin was then alerted of a disturbance at the Princess' Cell. Vader tells Tarkin that Obi-Wan was there and that he needed to face him alone.

A Jedi's final stand
"I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but a learner. Now I am the Master." "Only a master of evil, Darth."

- Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi, before their duel on the Death Star

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan decided that only he could take out the tractor beam. Luke wanted to go with him but Obi-Wan instructed Luke to watch over the droids. Sensing his impending death, Obi-Wan told Luke that his destiny laid in a different path then his own.

Luke was able to discover the location of the Princess thanks to R2-D2 and decided that he needed to rescue her. Han, at first, refused, but was convinced by Luke that he would be rewarded handsomely. Luke and Han use the stormtrooper armor they stole to disguise Chewbacca as a prisoner. Their plan failed, however, when the stormtroopers discovered that Luke and Han were trying to free the Princess.

Obi-Wan was able to disable the tractor beam but realized that Vader was waiting for him. Vader ignited his lightsaber and told Obi-Wan that since their last encounter, he had become a master. Obi-Wan tells him that he had only become a master of evil. The two engaged in one final duel. Vader noted that Obi-Wan's age had made him weak, but he responded that Vader can't win because even if he managed to kill him, he would become more powerful than Vader could ever imagine.

Meanwhile, the Princess is freed from her cell, resulting in them engaging stormtroopers and nearly being crushed in a garbage compactor.

Once the heroes reunited, they witnessed the duel between Vader and Obi-Wan. Once he saw Luke, Obi-Wan gave Vader a mysteriously knowing smile, and then sacrificed his life to save Luke. He raised his blade in surrender, allowing Vader to kill him, resulting in his body completely disappearing. Luke cried out in horror but could not attend to the body of his master as stormtroopers begin firing on him, forcing the Falcon to escape.

Post Death
"The Force will be with you. Always."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker

Kenobi's communion with Qui-Gon was successful as Kenobi did not vanish completely but became a Force spirit. Using his new found abilities, he was able to guide Luke during the Battle of Yavin and Luke was able to successfully destroy the Death Star with proton torpedoes.

When Luke Skywalker was about to confront Darth Vader in the weapons factory Alpha on the moon of Cymoon 1, Kenobi reached out to Skywalker and told him to run. "You will go to the Dagobah system." "Dagobah system?" "There, you will learn from Yoda, the Jedi Master who instructed me."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker

Three years later, Kenobi reappeared to Luke on the planet Hoth where he instructed Luke to go to Dagobah system to seek out Kenobi's former master, Yoda for further Jedi training.

Kenobi was also able to convince Yoda to train Luke, who thought that Luke was too old to begin the training and that Luke was too impatient and had much anger in him like Anakin did, a fact that Kenobi reminded Yoda that he was similar to Luke when Yoda had taught Kenobi.

When Skywalker received a vision of his friends being in trouble on the Cloud City of Bespin, Skywalker rushed to aid them. Kenobi warned Luke that he was at a crossroads and that his abilities were what the Emperor wanted and that Kenobi didn't want to lose Luke to the Emperor the way he lost Vader. He also told Skywalker if he was to face Darth Vader, that he would do it alone and that he couldn't interfere. Kenobi gave Luke some final advice that he shouldn't give into hate for that led to the dark side. As Luke departed Dagobah, Kenobi was worried that the Jedi may have lost their last hope. However, Yoda reminded him of Luke's sister, Leia Organa.

Following the climatic Battle of Endor, Kenobi appeared standing next to the spirits of Anakin Skywalker and Yoda as they watched Luke and the other rebels celebrate their momentous victory, although Luke was the only one able to see them.

Qui-Gon Jinn
As Master and Apprentice, Kenobi and Jinn forged a very strong bond, even though Kenobi was a more faithful follower of the Jedi code than his master, who preferred to follow the will of the living force and his conscience.

Satine Kryze
"I've loved you from the moment you came to my aid all those years ago.'' " [ &hellip; ] "''Had you said the word, I would have left the Jedi Order."

- Satine and Kenobi

As Qui-Gon Jinn's Padawan, Kenobi went on a mission to protect Satine Kryze. They were always on the run from bounty hunters and they never knew what would happen next. Kenobi saved Kryze in at least one instance when he was a Padawan. In the Clone Wars, their feelings for each other resurfaced. Their relationship also never developed and they broke off the affair to focus on their mutual responsibilities as peacekeepers.

Anakin Skywalker
"I will not kill Anakin... He is like my brother. I cannot do it."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Yoda



Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first met on the planet of Tatooine when Kenobi and his Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, had landed there in search of a T-14 hyperdrive generator to replace the broken one on Padmé Amidala's ship. Though Kenobi worried that the boy, just 9 years old at the time, was another stray of the sort that Jinn seemed to collect, similar to Jar Jar Binks, but when Jinn was slain by Darth Maul, Kenobi vowed to fulfill Jinn's promise to train him as a Jedi Knight, believing him to be the prophesied Chosen One.

Overtime, Anakin would become trained in the ways of the Force. They grew closer and formed a father-son-like bond throughout his training.

Eventually, Obi-Wan and Anakin were assigned to protect the Now-Senator Padmé Amidala after two unsuccessful assassination attempts on her life by bounty hunters.

Throughout the Clone Wars, the two would fight together. Even Though Anakin was alreadyy a knight and in charge of his own battalion, the two would often fight together, making them brothers in a sense as well.

When Anakin was given an Apprentice of his own, Obi-Wan helped Anakin train her as well as help comfort him when she chose to leave the Jedi Order.

By the time the Clone Wars came to an end, Anakin was seduced by the Dark Side and began to grow less trusting of both the Jedi Council and Obi-Wan himself.

When Obi-Wan discovered that Anakin was responsible for the deaths of the Jedi throughout the temple, Yoda tells him that Anakin must be killed. At first, Obi-Wan immediately refused to do it, referring to their close relationship.

When the two fought on Mustafar and Obi-Wan mutilated Anakin, he was devastated. He felt the effects of his personal failure for years and took into it into account when training Anakin's son to become a Jedi.

Luke Skywalker
"Luke, I don't want to lose you to The Emperor, the way I lost Vader.''" "''You won't."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.

During his exile on Tatooine, Obi-Wan was responsible for watching over Luke Skywalker to prevent the Sith from sensing his presence.

Eventually, a space battle over the plans of the Death Star caused R2-D2 and C-3PO to board an escape pod to land on Tatooine. R2 was given the plans by Leia hoping to take down the Empire as well as personal message to Obi-Wan, whom she believes can deliver the plans safely to Aldeeran. While wandering the desert, the two droids were captured by Jawas and sold to the boy's formal guardian, Owen Lars. Luke, who was responsible for cleaning out the droids, was allowed to stumble on the message by R2 and began to wonder who this person was. Through 3PO, R2 tricked Luke into removing his restraining bolt under the pretense of being able to show the complete message, then pretended to have forgotten that he had a message at all.

Luke at first thought the girl in the message meant "Old Ben" Kenobi. Luke, who had been told Obi-Wan was dead was still curious about the girl in the message despite his uncle telling him to drop the matter. That night R2 ran away, causing Luke to search him out and to find out the identity of the person his astromech had been looking for. Luke was knocked out by Tusken Raiders, then rescued by Kenobi. When he woke up, he asked him who "Obi-Wan Kenobi" and was surprised when Obi-Wan identified himself.

Kenobi took Luke into his hut and reveled the truth of Anakin having been a Jedi Knight who fought alongside Obi-Wan during The Clone Wars. He gave Luke Anakin's lightsaber and after being shown the message, offered Luke a chance to become a Jedi. However because of his uncle, he tells Obi-Wan he cannot as he's needed at home. After they discovered the Jawas that had sold the droids had been killed by stormtroopers, Kenobi warns Luke not to go back to the homestead due to potential danger, and comforts Luke when he returns, telling him there was nothing he could have done to save the Lars. Luke then accepted Obi-Wan Kenobi's offer and went off with him to Alderaan and learn the ways of the Force.

The two went to Mos Eisley to find a pilot. In the cantina Kenobi spoke with Chewbacca about possibly hiring him and Han Solo, then cuts off Ponda Baba's arm when the alien violently confronts Luke. Kenobi negotiates to pay the Millennium Falcon's crew 17,000 credits to fly them to Alderaan. After being pulled into the Death Star's tractor beam and disabling it, Obi-Wan duels Darth Vader and ultimately sacrifice his life to save Luke.

After his death, Kenobi would continue to guide Skywalker. Moments after becoming one with the Force, he urged Luke to run and escape the Death Star on the Millennium Falcon, although it didn't seem like Luke consciously noticed this. During the Battle of Yavin he communed with Luke through the Force and because of this, Luke was able to successfully destroy the Death Star using his feelings and his instincts.

Kenobi then reappeared to Luke on Hoth and instructed him to seek out Yoda, who instructed Kenobi as a youngling, to complete his training.

When Skywalker received a vision of his friends being in trouble at Cloud City, Skywalker wanted to help them. Kenobi warned Luke that although he could feel the Force, he was still vulnerable to the dark side. He also told Luke if he was to face Vader, he would do it alone and that he could not get involved. Once he saw there was no convincing Luke otherwise, Kenobi gave him some final advice that he shouldn't give into hate, for that led to the dark side. As Luke departed Dagobah, Kenobi said to Yoda Luke was their last hope, but Yoda reminded him that there was another.

When Yoda died, he offered Luke words of comfort but when asked about why he told Luke that Vader killed his father instead of the truth, Obi-Wan tells Luke that the statement he said to him on Tatooine was true, but from a "certain point of view." Luke was also told that he has a twin sister, who he correctly deduced to be Leia. Obi-Wan told him that his insight served him well and did him credit, but that he needed to bury his feelings deep down because they could be used against him to make him a servant of the Emperor.

Behind the scenes
For A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi was played by Sir Alec Guinness, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor (the only acting-related Academy Award nomination for any Star Wars film). Guinness reprised the role as Kenobi's ghost in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is played by Ewan McGregor in The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. James Arnold Taylor voiced Kenobi in the The Clone Wars film and TV series, as well as Star Wars Rebels.

Despite great critical acclaim, Alec Guinness disliked being associated solely with the role of Kenobi. To limit his role in the trilogy, it was reportedly Guinness's own idea that Ben should die on the Death Star.

However, as stated in The Making of Star Wars: The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film, it is Lucas who originally came up with the idea of having Ben die, to which Guinness initially objected. After explaining that Ben would have little to do in the story after the Millennium Falcon escaped from the Death Star, Lucas was able to successfully convince him to allow it.
