#Star Wars: Obi-Wan's 5 Best Moments From The Original Trilogy (& 5 From The Prequels) -BB

Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars saga. Alec Guinness was the one who introduced ‘70s kids to the Jedi and the Force. He fought Darth Vader and came back as a ghost. And Ewan McGregor’s charismatic performance as a younger Obi-Wan is one of the few things that prequel lovers and prequel bashers can see eye-to-eye on; everyone loves him.

Obi-Wan is one of the few characters (along with Yoda, Palpatine, and technically Anakin) to have iconic moments in both the prequel and original trilogies. So, here are Obi-Wan’s 5 best moments from the original trilogy (& 5 from the prequels).

10 Original trilogy: Appearing to Luke alongside Anakin and Yoda’s Force ghosts

After Darth Vader throws the Emperor down a reactor core shaft on the second Death Star and redeems himself, becoming the Jedi Anakin Skywalker once again, his Force ghost appears on Endor alongside the ghosts of Obi-Wan and Yoda.

As the Rebels and the Ewoks celebrate their victory against the Empire, Luke looks over at his three father figures – the guardian who watched over him on Tatooine and started his journey towards heroism, the wise Jedi Master who taught him in the ways of the Force, and his actual father – and smiles, knowing that they’ll keep an eye on him.

9 Prequels: “Hello there.”

This is perhaps Obi-Wan’s most-quoted line (and one of his most meme-able). When he travels to Utapau to confront General Grievous and drops right into the middle of his base of operations, he simply says, “Hello there.” The nonchalant attitude with which Ewan McGregor delivers the line has Obi-Wan all over it. He’s confident, cool-headed, and charming.

Grievous turns around and says, “General Kenobi.” What follows is one of the most breathtaking lightsaber duels in the Star Wars saga, as Grievous reveals his two extra limbs and all four of them ignite lightsabers that were stolen from the corpses of dead Jedi.

8 Original trilogy: Brawl in Mos Eisley Cantina

As their quest to topple the Galactic Empire begins, Obi-Wan Kenobi takes naive farm boy Luke Skywalker to the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Mos Eisley Cantina. Luke approaches the bar to order a couple of drinks, and gets accosted by a couple of aliens. One of them translates his friend, telling Luke that they don’t like him.

Although Luke tries to stay out of trouble, these guys won’t leave him alone. So, Obi-Wan steps in, ignites his lightsaber, and lops off one of their arms. It’s pretty graphic for a PG-rated movie, but it’s also an incredibly badass moment.

7 Prequels: Defeating Darth Maul

Although a lot of Star Wars fans were disappointed by The Phantom Menace, for reasons ranging from Darth Vader being depicted as an adorable, doe-eyed eight-year-old kid to the unbearable presence of Jar Jar Binks, few would disagree that the climactic lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Darth Maul is spectacular.

When Obi-Wan acted in anger after Maul killed his Master, the Sith Lord got the better of him and knocked him into a bottomless pit. It was only when Obi-Wan focused his mind and found his inner peace, as is the Jedi way, that he managed to beat Maul.

6 Original trilogy: Saving Luke from the Tusken Raiders

Obi-Wan Kenobi’s introduction in the original 1977 Star Wars movie instantly establishes him as a formidable Jedi who, if possible, will use peaceful methods to defuse hostile situations. Luke is traveling through the Tatooine desert in search of R2-D2, who took off in the middle of the night to find Obi-Wan.

As they’re attacked by Tusken Raiders, Obi-Wan finds them. He scares off the Sandpeople, but warns Luke that they will soon be back, and in greater numbers. Luke asks his elderly companion if he knows Obi-Wan Kenobi and he comically replies, “Well, of course I know him. He’s me.”

5 Prequels: Agreeing to train Anakin

When Qui-Gon brings Anakin before the Jedi Council in The Phantom Menace, they initially reject him for training. However, after Qui-Gon is killed and his dying wish is that Obi-Wan train Anakin as a Jedi, Yoda reluctantly reverses his decision and allows it to happen.

Obi-Wan hadn’t completed his training when he took on the position of Jedi Master, so he wasn’t necessarily ready to train his own padawan. But he saw Qui-Gon as a father figure, and wanted to do right by him. And this is Obi-Wan Kenobi, after all. Even unprepared, he’s one of the greatest Jedi who ever lived.

4 Original trilogy: “Remember, the Force will be with you…always.”

During the Battle of Yavin, the Rebels’ plan to fire a torpedo into the air shaft that leads right to the Death Star’s core almost fails. Luke Skywalker makes one last-ditch attempt to carry out the attack in his X-wing. As he charges down the trench towards the opening, Obi-Wan’s Force ghost appears in Luke’s head and tells him, “Remember, the Force will be with you…always.”

This gives Luke the confidence to turn off his navigation system and use his newly discovered Force sensitivity to guide the torpedo into the air shaft and blow up the Empire’s destructive space station.

3 Prequels: Fighting Jango Fett on Kamino

Before Disney’s sequel trilogy came along and Star Wars fans’ opinions about the saga became irreparably divided, it was a commonly held belief that Attack of the Clones was the worst installment. But it does have this one awesome scene.

Having been visibly confused by the incomplete Jedi Archives, Obi-Wan travels to Kamino, where his confusion only worsens as he finds an entire Clone Army being bred for the Jedi Order. On his way off the planet, Obi-Wan is ambushed by Jango Fett, the bounty hunter he’s been chasing, and the two badass warriors get into a thrilling skirmish.

2 Original trilogy: “If you strike me down…”

After infiltrating the Death Star with Luke, Han, Chewie, and the droids to save Princess Leia, Obi-Wan is confronted by Darth Vader. The two take out their lightsabers for a rematch – the first lightsaber duel ever to hit the silver screen – and Vader ends up killing Obi-Wan.

When it becomes clear that Vader has the upper hand in the duel, Obi-Wan accepts his fate and warns the Sith Lord, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” Obi-Wan sends Luke a knowing smile as he’s forced to watch Vader slash down his old mentor.

1 Prequels: “You were my brother, Anakin!”

Set to John Williams’ breathtaking “Battle of the Heroes” – perhaps the second greatest musical composition in the prequels, after “Duel of the Fates” – the climactic lightsaber duel in Revenge of the Sith is as emotionally charged as it is cinematic. After Anakin submits to Palpatine and slaughters the Jedi younglings, he retreats to Mustafar to begin the rise of the Galactic Empire.

Obi-Wan tries to talk him back over to the light side of the Force, but he can’t be reasoned with. And the worst part is that Anakin’s fears of Obi-Wan looking down on him are proven wrong when Obi-Wan says, “You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you.”
