-'''Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi''' is a main fictional character in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Star Wars galaxy|universe]]. The character has been portrayed by [[Alec Guinness|Sir Alec Guinness]] in the [[Original trilogy (Star Wars)|original trilogy]] and by [[Ewan McGregor]] in the [[Prequel trilogy (Star Wars)|prequel trilogy]], as well as voiced by [[James Arnold Taylor]] in various other ''Star Wars'' projects.
-==Appearances==
-=== ''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope'' ===
-Introduced in ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope]]'', Obi-Wan Kenobi is living as a [[hermit]] on the planet [[Tatooine]] and has adopted the alias "Ben Kenobi". He rescues [[Luke Skywalker]], [[R2-D2]] and [[C3PO]] after an attack by the [[Tusken Raiders]]. At his home, Ben discovers that R2-D2 and C-3PO escaped [[Princess Leia]]'s ship in order to prevent the [[Death Star]]'s stolen battle plans from being recovered. He then gives Luke his [[Anakin Skywalker|father]]'s Jedi [[lightsaber]] and says that the boy's father was "betrayed and murdered" by his [[Darth Vader|former student]] that had fallen to the [[dark side of the Force]]. After trying to convince Luke to accompany him to [[Alderaan]] and learn to be a Jedi, Ben agrees to Luke's offer to take him as far as [[Anchorhead (Star Wars)|Anchorhead]].
-But en route to Anchorhead, Ben and Luke discover the remains of an attacked Jawa [[sandcrawler]], realizing that the Imperials were looking for his two droids and discovers the burnt skeletons of his foster [[Owen Lars|uncle]] and [[Beru Lars|aunt]]. Luke returns to the sandcrawler and tells Ben he wants to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like his father.
-In the spaceport city [[Mos Eisley]], they are pulled over by Imperial troops who question Luke about the droids to which Ben uses a Force mind trick on the troops' commander that tells them to "move along". They enter a local [[cantina]] and make a deal with [[Han Solo]] and [[Chewbacca]] to fly them to Alderaan in their ''[[Millennium Falcon]]'' ship. During the journey, Ben begins instructing Luke in lightsaber training. While instructing, he suddenly becomes weak and tells Luke of "a great disturbance in the Force". Emerging from hyperspace, the party finds that Alderaan has been destroyed and the ''Falcon'' is attacked by an Imperial [[TIE Fighter]]. Against Ben's advice, Han pursues the Imperial, only to be caught in the Death Star's [[tractor beam]].
-While Luke and Han don stormtrooper armor and rescue the Princess, Obi-Wan shuts down the tractor beam. [[Darth Vader]], sensing his old master's presence, confronts Obi-Wan and they duel while Luke, Han, Chewbacca and Leia fight their way back to the ''Falcon''. As they prepare to rush aboard, Obi-Wan creates a distraction by allowing Vader to cut him in half. There is no body, however; only his empty robes and sabre hilt fall to the deck. Moments later, he calls out to Luke through the Force, telling him to run.
-Later during the [[Rebel Alliance]]'s [[Battle of Yavin|attack]] on the Death Star, Luke hears Obi-Wan's assurance that "the Force will be with you". After many of the Rebel pilots are destroyed, Obi-Wan tells Luke to "trust his feelings" rather than use the [[X-wing]]'s targeting system, taking his teacher's advice and uses the Force to guide his proton torpedoes, destroying the station. Afterward, Luke hears Obi-Wan's assurance "remember, the Force will be with you, always."
-=== ''Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back'' ===
-Three years later in ''[[Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back]]'', Ben Kenobi appears several times in spirit form.
-On the planet [[Hoth]], he appears as a [[Force ghost|spirit in the Force]] to Luke Skywalker and instructs his student to go to the [[Dagobah]] system to be taught by the exiled [[Yoda]]. Despite Yoda's skepticism, Ben convinces his old master to continue the youth's training. Ben's spirit form later appears to convince Luke to not leave Dagobah to try to rescue his friends on Cloud City.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-The-Empire-Strikes-Back.html |title=Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Script at IMSDb |publisher=Imsdb.com |date= |accessdate=2013-09-18}}</ref>
-=== ''Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi'' ===
-One year later in ''[[Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi]]'', Ben Kenobi appears in spirit form once again.
-After Yoda's death on Dagobah, he appears to Luke Skywalker. When asked why he didn't him tell the truth, Ben replies that [[Anakin Skywalker]] ceased to exist after turning to the dark side, becoming instead Darth Vader. He also reveals that Princess Leia is Luke's twin sister. After the second Death star is destroyed and the Empire defeated, Ben appears at the celebration in the [[Ewok]] village, alongside the spirits of Yoda and Anakin.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-Return-of-the-Jedi.html |title=Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Script at IMSDb |publisher=Imsdb.com |date=1981-12-01 |accessdate=2013-09-18}}</ref>
-=== ''Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace'' ===
-[[File:JediKnights.jpg|320px|thumbnail|left|[[Ewan McGregor]] as Obi-Wan Kenobi (left) in ''[[Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace|The Phantom Menace]]'', alongside his master [[Qui-Gon Jinn]].]]
-In ''[[Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'', Obi-Wan Kenobi is depicted as the Padawan (student) of Jedi Master [[Qui-Gon Jinn]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The Phantom Menace Script |url=http://www.blueharvest.net/scoops/pm-script.shtml|accessdate=2008-10-05 }}</ref>
-He accompanies his master in negotiations with the [[Trade Federation]], which is blockading the planet [[Naboo]]. They are attacked by battle droids and are forced to retreat to Naboo, where they meet clumsy [[Gungan]] [[Jar Jar Binks]] assisting in reaching Queen [[Padmé Amidala]]. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan help the queen escape Naboo on a space cruiser. In escaping the blockade, the ship is damaged and makes an unscheduled landing on [[Tatooine]], where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan meet Anakin Skywalker, a young [[Slavery|slave]] who shows such tremendous potential in the Force that Qui-Gon believes him to be the "Chosen One" of Jedi prophecy, destined to bring balance to the Force. The [[Jedi Council]] forbids Anakin's training, however, believing that the boy's future is clouded by the fear he exhibits.
-During a [[Battle of Naboo|major battle]], Qui-Gon is mortally wounded by Sith Lord [[Darth Maul]]. Having nearly fallen to his death, Obi-Wan uses the Force to seize his master's lightsaber and cuts Maul in half. With his dying breath, Qui-Gon instructs Obi-Wan to train Anakin. For his heroics in defeating a Sith (being the first Jedi in 1,000 years to do so), Yoda bestows on Obi-Wan the rank of Jedi Knight and reluctantly grants him permission to train Anakin.<ref>''[[Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace#Novelization|Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Novelization]]'', 1st edition paperback, 1999.

-=== ''Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones'' ===
-[[Image:Obiwan1.jpg|200px|thumb|[[Ewan McGregor]] as Obi-Wan Kenobi in ''[[Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones|Attack of the Clones]]''.]]
-Ten years later, in ''[[Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones]]'', Obi-Wan Kenobi has become an experienced Jedi Knight while training his Padawan Anakin Skywalker. By this time, Anakin has grown powerful but arrogant, and believes that Obi-Wan is holding him back.
-He and Anakin are required to protect Senator Padmé Amidala after an attempt on her life. Obi-Wan traces the attempt to the planet [[Kamino]] and learns of a [[Clone trooper|massive clone army]] that the planet's inhabitants are building for the [[Galactic Republic (Star Wars)|Galactic Republic]]. He then meets with [[bounty hunter]] [[Jango Fett]] (the template of the clones) and deduces that he is the one responsible for the attempts on the senator's life. Obi-Wan attempts to apprehend Fett but escapes with his [[Boba Fett|adopted son]]. Obi-Wan follows the bounty hunter's ship ''[[Slave I]]'' to the planet [[Geonosis]]. On Geonosis, Obi-Wan discovers [[Confederacy of Independent Systems|a conspiracy]] of [[star system]]s bent on [[secession]] from the Republic led by Sith Lord [[Count Dooku]] (Qui-Gon Jinn's former master). After sending a message to Anakin, Obi-Wan is captured.
-After Anakin and Padmé arrive on Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan and they are themselves captured, all three are [[death sentence|sentenced to death]] by the [[List of Star Wars races (F-J)#Geonosian|Geonosians]]. The executions are prevented by the arrival of Jedi and clone reinforcements led by Jedi Masters [[Mace Windu]] and Yoda, resulting in the opening salvo of the [[Clone Wars (Star Wars)|Clone Wars]]. Obi-Wan and Anakin confront Dooku in a duel, wherein he strikes Anakin with [[Force lightning]] then turns to Obi-Wan. When the two duel, Dooku outmaneuvers Obi-Wan and wounds him on both his left arm and leg. Just when Dooku is about to kill Obi-Wan, Anakin blocks his attack and engages him in a duel, which ends with Dooku cutting off Anakin's right arm. After dueling Yoda, Dooku puts Obi-Wan and Anakin in mortal danger in order to create a distraction and escape.<ref>''[[Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones#Novelization|Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Novelization]]'', 2003. [[R. A. Salvatore]]</ref>
-=== ''Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith'' ===
-Three years later in ''[[Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith]]'', Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi Master on the High Jedi Council and a General in the Army of the Republic. Anakin Skywalker, now a Jedi Knight, remains Obi-Wan's partner and the two have become war heroes and best friends.
-They are sent on a [[Battle of Coruscant|mission]] to rescue [[Palpatine|Supreme Chancellor Palpatine]] kidnapped by Separatist leader [[General Grievous]]. They find Palpatine and engage Count Dooku in a duel. After Dooku knocks Obi-Wan unconscious, Anakin defeats and kills Dooku in cold blood. Soon after returning to [[Coruscant]], Obi-Wan is called away to [[List of Star Wars planets (T-V)#Utapau|Utapau]] to confront Grievous.
-After finding the Separatist encampment, Obi-Wan engages Grievous in battle, eventually killing him with a blaster. When Palpatine issues [[Order 66]] to have the [[clone trooper]]s to turn on their Jedi generals, Obi-Wan survives the attempt on his life and escapes, rendezvousing with Yoda and Senator [[Bail Organa]] of Alderaan aboard Organa's ship ''[[Tantive IV]]''. Returning to Coruscant, he and Yoda discover that every Jedi (even the children) in the [[Jedi Temple]] has been murdered. After sending a beacon to all surviving Jedi to scatter across the galaxy and remain in hiding, Obi-Wan then watches a security hologram revealing that Anakin took part in the slaughter. Yoda charges him with confronting Anakin while he fights Palpatine after the Republic was converted into the tyrannical [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Galactic Empire]]. Obi-Wan is loath to fight his best friend, but Yoda tells him that Anakin no longer exists, having been "consumed by Darth Vader".
-Unaware of Anakin's location, Obi-Wan visits Padmé Amidala for his former friend's whereabouts, and realizes that Anakin is the father of Padmé's child. Padmé sets out to the planet [[Mustafar]] to confront her husband herself, while Obi-Wan secretly stows away in her ship. After Padmé arrives on Mustafar, Obi-Wan emerges from Padmé's ship. After Vader immediately suspects betrayal from Padmé and uses the Force to choke her into unconsciousness, Obi-Wan and Vader then fight a furious lightsaber duel which ends with Obi-Wan severing his enemy's legs and left arm in midair then slides too close to a [[lava]] flow and almost burns to death. Obi-Wan retrieves Anakin's lightsaber and returns to the shuttle, leaving him to die, however, his nemesis survives and is rebuild as the black armor-clad [[cyborg]] from the original trilogy.
-Obi-Wan watches helplessly as Padmé dies after giving birth to the twins Luke and Leia. Luke is put on Tatooine with [[Minor residents of Tatooine#Owen Lars|Owen Lars]] (Anakin's stepbrother) while Leia is adopted by Organa and his wife. Yoda then tells Obi-Wan that he has more training for him: Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit will teach him how to retain his identity through the Force and commune with the living after death. The film ends with Obi-Wan giving Luke to Owen and [[Beru Lars]] and disappearing into the distance.
-===Television===
-Obi-Wan Kenobi is a major character in the animated micro-series ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars (TV Series)|Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'' and the [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] animated series ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series)|Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]''. Obi-Wan proved himself an adept strategist and spy, as his leadership style heavily favored subterfuge and misdirection while commanding clone troopers, or wielding the lightsaber and the Force.
-===Expanded universe===
-Obi-Wan appears extensively in the "[[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]]" of [[comic book]]s, [[novel]]s and [[video game]]s. This material portrays the events in the character's life outside of the six ''[[Star Wars]]'' films.
-====Novels====
-Many Expanded Universe novels detail Obi-Wan's exploits before, during, and after the six films.
-Obi-Wan's life prior to ''The Phantom Menace'' is portrayed mostly in [[Jude Watson]]'s ''[[Jedi Apprentice]]'' and ''[[Jedi Quest]]'' series. The ''[[Jedi Apprentice]]'' books follow his adventures as Qui-Gon's Padawan. Notable events in the series include battling the [[Dark Jedi]] Xanatos, falling in love with fellow Padawan [[Siri Tachi]], and going on his first independent mission. The ''[[Jedi Quest]]'' books detail his adventures with Anakin in the years leading up to ''Attack of the Clones''.
-His heroism just before and during the Clone Wars is portrayed in novels such as ''[[Outbound Flight]]'', ''[[The Approaching Storm]]'', and ''[[The Cestus Deception]]''.
-Obi-Wan's life between ''Revenge of the Sith'' and the original film is  portrayed mostly in [[Jude Watson]]'s ''[[The Last of the Jedi]]'' series. Set roughly a year after the fall of the Republic, the series follows Obi-Wan as he seeks out possible survivors of the [[Great Jedi Purge]], most notably Anakin's former rival Ferus Olin. The books also portray Obi-Wan adjusting to life as a [[hermit]] on Tatooine, and quietly watching over Luke. He also discovers that Vader is still alive after seeing him on the Holonet, the galaxy's official news source.
-Obi-Wan appears in spirit form in many novels set after ''Return of the Jedi''. In ''[[The Truce at Bakura]]'', he appears to Luke to warn him about the threat presented by the Ssi-ruuk; in ''[[The Lost City of the Jedi]]'', he guides Luke to the titular city on [[Yavin IV]]; in ''[[Heir to the Empire]]'', meanwhile, he bids farewell to Luke, explaining that he must abandon his spiritual form to "move on" to a new, higher plane of [[consciousness]]. Before parting, Luke tells him that Obi-Wan was like a father to him, to which Obi-Wan replies that he loved Luke like a son.
-====Video games====
-Obi-Wan appears in many video games. He is a playable character in all four ''[[Lego Star Wars: The Video Game|Lego Star Wars]]'' [[video game]]s, as well as ''[[Star Wars: Battlefront II|Battlefront II]]'' and ''[[Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron|Renegade Squadron]]''. He is also the lead character in ''[[Star Wars: Obi-Wan]]''. The older version is only playable in ''[[Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy]]'' and ''[[Star Wars: The Complete Saga]]'', and ''[[Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (video game)|Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith]]'' multiplayer mode and [[Death Star]] bonus mission ''[[Star Wars: Renegade Squadron]]'', and ''[[Star Wars: The Force Unleashed]]'' in multiplayer mode and the droid [[PROXY]] disguises as him. He also appears in ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Jedi Alliance]]'', ''[[Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles]]'' and ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Lightsaber Duels]]'' as a playable character.
-====Comic books====
-In the comic book series ''[[Star Wars: Republic]]'', Obi-Wan faces many grave threats while fighting against the Separatists. Among other notable storylines, he is kidnapped and tortured by [[Asajj Ventress]] before being rescued by Anakin ("Hate & Fear"), and apprehends corrupted Jedi Master [[Quinlan Vos]] ("The Dreadnaughts of Rendili"). Throughout the series, he grows increasingly wary of Palpatine's designs on the Republic—and his influence on Anakin.
-In the non-[[Star Wars canon|canon]] story "Old Wounds", set a few years after the events of ''Revenge of the Sith'', Obi-Wan confronts [[Darth Maul]] on Tatooine to protect Luke. The duel ends when Owen Lars shoots and kills Maul; he then warns Obi-Wan to stay away from his nephew. Through the Force, Obi-Wan reassures Luke that he will be there for him when needed.
-==Cultural impact==
-<!--[[Image:Ulica Kenobiego.jpg|right|thumb|An Obi-Wan Kenobi street sign]] image removed-->
-The character is loosely inspired by General Makabe Rokurōta, a character from ''[[The Hidden Fortress]]'', played by [[Toshiro Mifune]] (whom series creator [[George Lucas]] also considered casting as Obi-Wan Kenobi).<ref>Star Wars DVD audio commentary</ref> ''[[Mad (magazine)|Mad]]'' magazine parodied the original film under the title ''Star Roars'' and included a character named 'Oldie Von Moldie'; a grizzled 97-year-old whose lightsaber runs on an extension cord. The [[Shanghai]] nightclub shown in the beginning of ''[[Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom]]'' is called "Club Obi-Wan" as [[George Lucas]] wrote both the ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' series. A real bar/club by this name existed in the Xihai district of [[Beijing]], [[China]] but closed in the summer of 2010. ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "Star Koopa" (being a spoof of ''Star Wars'') also had its own parody of Obi-Wan called 'Obi-Wan Toadi', and the live-action segment "Zenned Out Mario" featured a parody called "Obi-Wan Cannoli". The 1998 ''[[Animaniacs]]'' episode "Star Warners" (which spoofed ''Star Wars'') featured [[Slappy Squirrel]] portraying a parody of Obi-Wan as 'Slappy Wanna Nappy'. In the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "[[Blue Harvest (Family Guy)|Blue Harvest]]", Obi-Wan Kenobi is parodied by the character [[Herbert (Family Guy)|Herbert]]. In the short film ''[[Thumb Wars]]'', Obi-Wan is parodied as the character 'Oobedoob Benubi'. In the film, his full name is 'Oobedoob Scooby-Doobi Benubi, the silliest name in the galaxy.' In the 1977 ''Star Wars'' parody ''[[Hardware Wars]]'', Obi-Wan is parodied by the character 'Augie Ben Doggie'.
-In [[France|French]] Internet subculture, "Obi-Wan Kenobi" became an expression meaning "your question does not make sense", and is said when one does not know what to answer but wants to respond in an amusing way. It was popularised by [[Les Guignols de l'info]], which made a parody of the French version of ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?]]'' in which for every question, the fourth choice was invariably "Obi-Wan Kenobi" (and the question invariably nonsense). Humorous [[multiple choice]] [[questionnaire]]s made on the internet since often featured an "Obi-Wan Kenobi" option.
-[[TV Tropes]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheObiWan |title=The Obi Wan - Television Tropes & Idioms |publisher=Tvtropes.org |date= |accessdate=2010-12-27}}</ref> uses Obi-Wan's name for the [[Elderly martial arts master|archetype mentor figure]].
-In 2003, the [[American Film Institute]] selected Obi-Wan Kenobi as the [[AFI's 100 Years…100 Heroes and Villains|37th greatest movie hero of all time]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://connect.afi.com/site/DocServer/handv100.pdf?docID=246 |title=AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains |publisher=afi.com |date= |accessdate=2010-05-21}}</ref> He was also listed as [[IGN]]'s third greatest ''Star Wars'' character,<ref>{{cite web|title=Obi-Wan Kenobi is #3.|url=http://www.ign.com/star-wars-characters/3.html|publisher=IGN|accessdate=6 December 2010}}</ref> as well as one of [[UGO Networks]]'s favorite heroes of all time.<ref name="UGO Heroes">{{cite web |url=http://www.ugo.com/games/best-heroes-of-all-time?page=7 |title=Best Heroes of All Time |author=UGO Team |date=January 21, 2010 |work=[[UGO Networks]] |accessdate=April 3, 2011}}</ref>
-In 2004, the Council of the Commune Lubicz in [[Poland]] passed a resolution giving the name "Obi-Wan Kenobi" to one of the streets in [[Grabowiec, Toruń County|Grabowiec]], a small village near [[Toruń]].<ref>[http://www.bip.lubicz.pl/aktualizacja/data/pliki/4832_XXVIII_373_04.doc] {{dead link|date=November 2013}}</ref> The street was named in 2005. The spelling of the street name, ''Obi-Wana Kenobiego'' is the [[Genitive case|genitive form]] of the [[noun]] in the [[Polish language]]: ''the street of Obi-Wan Kenobi''. "ul." is an abbreviation of ''ulica'', the Polish for ''street''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://starwars.pl/ulica_kenobiego_eng.php |title=An interview with Leszek Budkiewicz, who lives on the street, and who (being the Council member himself) managed to convince the Council to name the street after Obi-Wan Kenobi |publisher=Starwars.pl |date= |accessdate=2013-09-18}}</ref>
