After a ferocious battle with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin is left for dead beside a lava flow on Mustafar, and is outfitted with an artificial life support system as well as robotic arms and legs.

In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace ( 1999 ), Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn ( Liam Neeson ) discovers nine year old Anakin Skywalker ( Jake Lloyd ), whom he believes to be the " Chosen One " of Jedi prophecy who is destined to bring balance to the Force ; the boy is eventually paired with Qui-Gon's apprentice, the young Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Ewan McGregor ), who promises to train him.

Ten years after helping to save his planet, he is a delegate to the Galactic Senate and as such plays a role in bringing his old friends Obi-Wan and Anakin ( Hayden Christensen ) back to Coruscant, where he greets them with enthusiasm.

In this series, he is a Senate representative who accompanies the main characters — Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Padmé — on their adventures.

Coincidentally, Lawson is the maternal uncle of Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy.

She is finally rescued by Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, the Wookiee Chewbacca, and the two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO.

Frustrated, Luke contacts master slicer Ghent, who manages to recover one other holoclip from R2, this time featuring a scene in which Padmé is talking to Obi-Wan Kenobi about Anakin, which is displayed to both Luke and Leia.

The theme plays when Obi-Wan Kenobi is killed by Vader.

He is introduced in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, in which he is forced to leave home, and finds himself apprenticed to the Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

He takes his first steps toward his destiny when he finds two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, the latter of whom is carrying a message for Obi-Wan Kenobi, known to Luke as the hermit old Ben Kenobi.

Michael Kaminski argues in his book that it is unlikely that the plot point had ever seriously been considered or even conceived of before 1978, and that the first film was clearly operating under an alternate storyline where Vader was a separate character from Luke's father ; there is not a single reference to this plot point before 1978 ( further reinforcing this is Obi-Wan Kenobi calling Vader " Darth ", as if it is his true name rather than his new Sith name ).

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a character in the Star Wars universe.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is first introduced in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope ( 1977 ), where he is played by Alec Guinness and is first seen rescuing Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill ) from a group of Tusken Raiders.

Obi-Wan Kenobi offers to instruct Luke in the ways of the Force and asks him to join him on the quest ; but Luke is only persuaded when his aunt and uncle are slain by the Empire, whereupon Obi-Wan Kenobi takes him to deliver the message to Alderaan.

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke buy passage to Alderaan on the spaceship Millennium Falcon, piloted by smuggler Han Solo ( Harrison Ford ) and his partner Chewbacca ( Peter Mayhew ); but before they reach Alderaan, the planet is destroyed by the Death Star on the orders of Grand Moff Tarkin ( Peter Cushing ).

When a major building is nearly destroyed, Obi-Wan acts calmly, which impresses his master.

On June 2, 2009, Entertainment Weekly reported that Ryder had claimed that there will be a sequel to Heathers with Christian Slater coming back " as a kind of Obi-Wan character ".

He is also the lead character in Star Wars: Obi-Wan.

The character is loosely inspired by General Makabe Rokurōta, a character from The Hidden Fortress played by Toshirō Mifune, whom series creator George Lucas also considered casting as Obi-Wan.

In the Family Guy episode " Blue Harvest ", Obi-Wan is parodied by the character Herbert.

In the short film Thumb Wars Obi-Wan is parodied as the character Oobedoob Benubi.

In the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Qui-Gon is mentioned a few times, first by Obi-Wan, describing a mission they had gone on while he was still Qui-Gon's apprentice, and again by Padmé, referring to Qui-Gon's death during a speech about the damage war does to life and society.

This was because in Attack of the Clones, Anakin's lightsaber was built to be reminiscent of the lightsaber in the original trilogy, while in Revenge of the Sith, Vader's lightsaber was designed to match the lightsaber that Obi-Wan Kenobi gives to Luke Skywalker, in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
