When Luke Skywalker and the droid C - 3PO wander off in search of the lost droid R2 - D2, Obi - Wan rescues them from a band of native Tusken Raiders. At Obi - Wan 's home, R2 - D2 plays a recording of Princess Leia saying that R2 - D2 contains the plans for the Death Star, the Galactic Empire 's superweapon. Leia asks him to deliver the droid and the plans safely to the planet Alderaan in order to help the Rebel Alliance. Obi - Wan reveals his true identity, and explains that he is a Jedi Master, a member of an ancient group of warriors that were hunted down and exterminated by his apprentice Darth Vader, the apparent killer of Luke 's father. He gives Luke his father 's lightsaber and asks him to accompany him to Alderaan and take up Jedi training. Luke declines, but after finding that his uncle Owen and aunt Beru have been killed by Imperial troops, he agrees to go with Obi - Wan to Alderaan and to train as a Jedi. In the spaceport city Mos Eisley, Obi - Wan uses the Force to trick Imperial troops into letting them through a military checkpoint. They enter a local cantina and make a deal with two smugglers, Han Solo and Chewbacca, to fly them to Alderaan aboard their ship, the Millennium Falcon. During the journey, Obi - Wan begins instructing Luke in lightsaber combat. 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 by the Empire, and the Falcon is attacked by an Imperial TIE Fighter. The trio chase the TIE fighter to the Death Star, and subsequently get caught in the space station 's tractor beam. On board the Death Star, Obi - Wan shuts down the tractor beam, but Darth Vader confronts him and they engage in a lightsaber duel. Obi - Wan uses the duel to distract Vader as Luke, Leia, Han and Chewbacca escape to the Falcon. Although Vader strikes Obi - Wan down, his body mysteriously vanishes the moment he dies. At the climax of the film during the Rebel attack on the Death Star, Obi - Wan speaks to Luke through the Force to help him destroy the Imperial station. In The Empire Strikes Back, Obi - Wan Kenobi appears several times as a spirit through the Force. On the planet Hoth, he appears to instruct Luke to go to the planet Dagobah to find the exiled Jedi Master Yoda. Despite Yoda 's skepticism, Obi - Wan convinces his old master to continue Luke 's training. He appears later to beseech Luke not to leave Dagobah to try to rescue his friends on Cloud City, although Luke ignores this advice. In Return of the Jedi, Obi - Wan again appears to Luke after Yoda 's death on Dagobah. Obi - Wan acknowledges that Darth Vader is indeed Luke 's father, revealed by Vader himself in the previous film and confirmed by Yoda on his deathbed, and also reveals that Leia is Luke 's twin sister. After the Rebels destroy the second Death Star and defeat the Empire, Obi - Wan appears at the celebration on Endor, alongside the spirits of Yoda and the redeemed Anakin Skywalker. Prequel trilogy In Star Wars : Episode I -- The Phantom Menace, Obi - Wan Kenobi appears as the Jedi Padawan ( or student ) of Jedi Master Qui - Gon Jinn. He accompanies his master in negotiations with the Trade Federation, which is blockading the planet Naboo with a fleet of spaceships. After they are attacked by battle droids and forced to retreat to Naboo, Obi - Wan and Qui - Gon rescue Queen Padmé Amidala through the help of native Gungan Jar Jar Binks and escape in a spaceship toward Coruscant, the Republic capital. Their ship is damaged in the escape, however, and they are forced to land on Tatooine, where they discover a young Anakin Skywalker. Qui - Gon senses Anakin 's extraordinarily strong link to the Force and brings the boy to Coruscant to begin Jedi training, although Obi - Wan expresses concerns. When Qui - Gon and Obi - Wan return to Naboo to defeat the Trade Federation, they are met by Sith Lord Darth Maul. When Maul mortally wounds Qui - Gon in the ensuing duel, Obi - Wan rushes to fight Darth Maul, who nearly kills him. However, Obi - Wan manages to turn the tables and defeat Maul, slicing him in half and sending him plunging down a vast reactor shaft. He promises to fulfill Qui - Gon 's dying wish of training Anakin in the ways of the Jedi, with or without the Council 's blessing. Yoda proclaims Obi - Wan a Jedi Knight and reluctantly allows him to take Anakin on as his own Padawan. Ewan McGregor as Obi - Wan Kenobi in Star Wars : Episode II -- Attack of the Clones In Star Wars : Episode II -- Attack of the Clones, set 10 years later, Obi - Wan Kenobi is now a respected Jedi Knight and the master of Anakin Skywalker. The two have formed a close friendship, although Anakin is arrogant and believes Obi - Wan is `` holding him back ''. After they save Senator Amidala from an assassination attempt, Obi - Wan goes on a solo mission and traces the bounty hunters involved to the planet Kamino, where he learns of a massive clone army that the planet 's inhabitants are building for the Republic. He is introduced to bounty hunter Jango Fett, the clones ' template, and the two fight after Obi - Wan deduces that Fett must be behind the attempted assassination. Fett escapes to the planet Geonosis with his clone son while Obi - Wan is in pursuit. On Geonosis, Obi - Wan discovers that a conspiracy of star systems bent on secession from the Republic is led by Jedi - turned - Sith Lord Count Dooku, Qui - Gon 's old master. After sending a message to Anakin, Obi - Wan is captured, interrogated, and sentenced to death by Dooku. A cadre of Jedi arrive with the clone army just in time to prevent the executions. Obi - Wan and Anakin confront Dooku during the ensuing battle, but are defeated in a lightsaber duel. Yoda intervenes and saves their lives, at the cost of Dooku 's escape. In Star Wars : Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith, set three years later, Obi - Wan Kenobi is a Jedi Master, a member of the Jedi Council and a General in the Army of the Republic. Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker remains Obi - Wan 's partner and the two have become war heroes and best friends. The film opens with the two on a rescue mission to save the kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine from Separatist commander General Grievous onboard his starship. Count Dooku discovers the attempt and fights the Jedi, knocking Obi - Wan unconscious ; while Obi - Wan is out cold, Anakin defeats Dooku and executes him on Palpatine 's orders. Soon after returning to Coruscant, Obi - Wan is called away to the planet Utapau to track down the escaped Grievous. After finding the Separatist encampment, Obi - Wan fights Grievous and eventually kills the cyborg with a blaster after failing to overcome him in hand - to - hand combat. When Palpatine -- who is secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious -- issues Order 66 to have the clone troopers turn on the Jedi, 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 in the Jedi Temple has been murdered. After sending a beacon to all surviving Jedi to scatter across the galaxy and remain in hiding, a heartbroken Obi - Wan watches security footage revealing that it was Anakin -- who is now Sidious ' Sith apprentice Darth Vader -- who led the slaughter. Yoda charges Obi - Wan with hunting down Vader, while Yoda fights Sidious. Obi - Wan is loath to fight his best friend, but reluctantly accepts. Obi - Wan visits Padmé to learn of Vader 's whereabouts, and realizes that Vader is the father of her unborn child. When Padmé sets out to the volcanic planet Mustafar to confront her husband herself, Obi - Wan secretly stows away in the ship. After they arrive on Mustafar, Obi - Wan reveals himself and confronts Vader. After a long and ferocious lightsaber duel, Obi - Wan defeats Vader by severing his legs and left arm ; as Vader catches fire beside a lava river, Obi - Wan takes his former friend 's lightsaber and leaves him to die. Unknown to Obi - Wan, Vader is rescued by Sidious and reconstructed into the cyborg first seen in the original trilogy. Obi - Wan takes Padmé to a remote asteroid belt, where she dies after giving birth to twins Luke and Leia. Afterwards, Yoda instructs Obi - Wan to give Luke to his uncle Owen and aunt Beru on Tatooine, and reveals that Qui - Gon 's spirit has returned from the Force to continue Obi - Wan 's training. Obi - Wan hands Luke off to his family and goes into exile on Tatooine. Sequel trilogy In Star Wars : The Force Awakens, set 30 years after Return of the Jedi, the protagonist Rey hears Obi - Wan 's voice when she touches the lightsaber that previously belonged to Luke. Obi - Wan calls out to Rey, before saying the words of encouragement he gave to Luke during his training on the Millennium Falcon : `` These are your first steps.

Presumed planned anthology film On August 17, 2017, it was reported that there are plans for a stand - alone Star Wars movie about Obi - Wan Kenobi. No casting or script decisions have been made yet. It is currently unclear what part of Obi - Wan 's life will be portrayed. In August 2017, Stephen Daldry was reported to be directing the film. While no casting decisions have been made, Ewan McGregor has said he would be open to reprising the role of Obi - Wan. In December, 2017, it was reported that an Obi - Wan Kenobi anthology film was eying a potential January 2019 production - start date. Cultural impact The character is loosely inspired by General Makabe Rokurōta, a character from Akira Kurosawa 's film The Hidden Fortress, played by Toshiro Mifune ( whom series creator George Lucas also considered casting as Obi - Wan ). 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 '' ( 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 '' ( 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 '', Obi - Wan Kenobi is parodied by the character 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 ''. The TV Tropes website uses Obi - Wan 's name for the archetype mentor figure. Guinness received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination for his portrayal of Obi - Wan Kenobi. In the parody song `` The Saga Begins '', released approximately one month after the release of Star Wars : Episode I -- The Phantom Menace, `` Weird Al '' Yankovic sings a humorous summary of the plot of that film from Obi - Wan 's perspective, to the tune of the song `` American Pie. '' In 2003, the American Film Institute selected Obi - Wan Kenobi as the 37th greatest movie hero of all time. He was also listed as IGN 's third greatest Star Wars character, as well as one of UGO Networks 's favorite heroes of all time. 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, a small village near Toruń. The street was named in 2005. The spelling of the street name, Obi - Wana Kenobiego is the genitive form of the noun in the Polish language : ( the street ) of Obi - Wan Kenobi. Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell portrays Jeremy Corbyn, current leader of the British Labour Party, as Obi - Wan Kenobi. The desired film Since the announcement of the sequel trilogy, Ewan McGregor has also expressed interest in returning to the role, albeit for an Obi - Wan spin - off film, should he be approached ; wanting to tell a story between Episode III and IV. A fan - trailer for an Obi - Wan film, with footage from the film Last Days in the Desert, has been widely praised by fans. Lucasfilm and McGregor have denied the development of such film, despite fans ' continued interest, and rumors. Despite being nothing but rumors, the film was voted as the most wanted anthology film in a pool by The Hollywood Reporter. Days before the Star Wars Rebels episode `` Twin Suns '' aired, McGregor said he would like to do it, if Lucasfilm wanted him to. References Jump up ^ `` Star Wars : Q : Where 's Obi - Wan 's home...
