Kenobi ' s next variants came in 2002 , two as a part of the new " " subtheme , and a redesigned figure for Episode I . Both Episode II variants had plain tan legs with the same torso piece used for Obi - Wan ' s original Episode I variant .

In 2004 , a Ben Kenobi was released in the 4501 Mos Eisley Cantina .

Background . At an early age , Obi - Wan was taken to be trained as a Jedi , and at the age of 13 , began his training under Master Qui - Gon Jinn . Towards the end of his apprenticeship , Qui - Gon and Obi - Wan were called upon to settle a dispute between the Trade Federation and the people of Naboo . However , the Trade Federation were under the influence of the Sith , and the dispute became hostile , with an invasion on Naboo being launched , and the citizens of the planet being imprisoned . However , after meeting Jar Jar Binks and Boss Nass , the two Jedi managed to free the Queen Amidala , and escaped on a Naboo Cruiser , intending to travel to the galactic capital of Coruscant to seek assistance . However , the ship was damaged by the Federation ' s orbiting blockade , and they were forced to land elsewhere , deciding on the desert world of Tatooine . The two Jedi split up , with Obi - Wan staying with the ship , and Qui - Gon to go into Mos Eisley to acquire replacement parts for the ship . A day later , as Qui - Gon was returning to the ship with the parts and a boy , he was attacked by a Darth Maul , a Sith Apprentice . Obi - Wan ordered the pilot to take off , and hover nearby the duel between Jinn and Maul , allowing Qui - Gon to escape the battle . On Coruscant , Obi - Wan reported to the Jedi Council with Qui - Gon , telling them about their encounter with the Sith warrior and Anakin Skywalker , the Force - sensitive child who Qui - Gon freed on Tatooine . The Council agreed to allow Anakin to be assessed to see if he could become a Jedi , despite being much older than when most Jedi begin their training . After Anakin was tested , Obi - Wan and Qui - Gon met the Council once again with Skywalker this time , and were informed that Anakin would not be trained as a Jedi due to his advanced age . They then proceeded to tell them that the Queen was about to leave for Naboo , and they should escort her . On Naboo , the Queen gathered her forces and formed an Alliance with Boss Nass and the Gungans , and battles with the Federation were initiated on several fronts . The Jedi remained with the Queen , until a door opened in the hangar opened , with Darth Maul blocking the way . The Queen and her security forces looked for another path , while the Jedi and Sith prepared to duel . As the duel progressed , Obi - Wan began to fall behind , at one point leaving him between forcefields , and forced to watch his Master fight Maul alone . During this time , Maul managed to get through Qui - Gon ' s guard , killing him . Obi - Wan then proceeded to attack Maul when he was freed , managing to cut the Sith Lord ' s double - bladed lightsaber in half , but was Force - pushed into a pit , though he managed to grab hold of a protruding power node . Obi - Wan then calmed himself , and leaped out of the pit , at the same time using the Force to grab his fallen Master ' s lightsaber , and cut Maul in two , who fell down the pit . After Naboo was liberated , Obi - Wan was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight , and took Anakin to be his Apprentice , fulfilling his Master ' s dying wish . Ten years later , Anakin and his Master Obi - Wan were tasked with acting as bodyguards for the now - Senator Padmé Amidala after an assassination attempt . That night , another attempt on Padmé ' s life was carried out . Anakin saved Padmé from two venomous insects , while Obi - Wan grabbed onto the hovering courier droid which deployed them , hoping it would lead him to whoever sent the droid . Meanwhile , Anakin commandeered an airspeeder to catch up to Obi - Wan . Obi - Wan dropped off the droid as it was destroyed by its owner - the bounty hunter Zam Wessell . Anakin flew underneath Obi - Wan and caught him in the speeder , then they chased Zam through Coruscant . Anakin leaped out of the speeder and landed on Zam Wessell ' s speeder , while Obi - Wan took over flying the speeder . Zam ' s speeder crashed after Anakin had damaged it , and she fled to a nearby cantina . Obi - Wan landed his speeder and caught up with Anakin , and the two entered the bar together . The pursuit ended when Zam attempted to shoot Obi - Wan , but he managed to disarm her first . Obi - Wan and Anakin took Zam outside the cantina and attempted to interrogate her , but before she could reveal any important information , she was killed by a toxic dart , fired by a Mandalorian who escaped with a jetpack . Obi - Wan learned from Dexter Jettster that the dart came from Kamino , and proceeded to travel to the planet . There , Obi - Wan met with Taun We and Lama Su , Kaminoans who told him that they were creating a clone army for the Republic , which neither Obi - Wan or any of the Jedi knew about . Obi - Wan also met the source of the clones , a bounty hunter named Jango Fett , and his son Boba . Obi - Wan realised that Jango was the bounty hunter who killed Zam Wessell , and attempted to arrest him , but he and Boba managed to escape after the two fought , but not before Obi - Wan placed a tracker on Jango ' s ship . Obi - Wan followed Jango to Geonosis , and came upon leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems , a group of worlds who wished to break away from the Republic , talking about a large droid army they had formed . Obi - Wan returned to his ship and sent a message to the Jedi Council relayed through Anakin , but was attacked by Droideka s as he was broadcasting , and ended up being captured . After refusing an offer to join Count Dooku , Qui - Gon ' s old Master and leader of the Separatists , he was taken to an arena for execution and joined by Anakin and Padmé , who set out to rescue him . The three were eventually saved by Jedi forces led by Mace Windu , and clone forces with Yoda . Anakin and Obi - Wan then confronted Dooku when they caught him attempting to escape , however this resulted in Obi - Wan being wounded in the arm and leg , and the loss of Anakin ' s right arm . However , they were saved by Master Yoda , who engaged Dooku in battle , forcing Dooku to retreat . Shortly after , Obi - Wan was granted the rank of Jedi Master and Anakin became a Jedi Knight . Obi - Wan also also appointed to the Jedi Council , and was given the military rank of High General during the Clone Wars . He carried out several missions with Clone Marshall Commander Cody , and also with Anakin , his Apprentice Ahsoka Tano , and Captain Rex . Three years in to the Clone Wars , the Chancellor was captured by General Grievous . Obi - Wan and Anakin flew through the space battle above Coruscant in to Grievous ' flagship to rescue the Chancellor . When they located the Chancellor , they were confronted by Count Dooku , and the three duelled once again . Obi - Wan was knocked out by Dooku not long into the battle , but Anakin defeated and killed Dooku thereafter , and the mission soon resulted in a success with the Chancellor restored to safety . Obi - Wan was then sent to the planet Utapau , where General Grievous was hiding . He engaged the droid general in battle , and after a duel consisting of several weapons including ligthsabers , electrostaffs and blasters , Kenobi was able to eliminate Grievous . Not long after this , Chancellor Palpatine was revealed to be Darth Sidious , the Dark Lord of the Sith , who ordered all clone troopers to kill the Jedi . On Utapau , Commander Cody complied , with him and his men opening fire on Kenobi . However , Obi - Wan was able to escape , and fled the planet in Grievous ' starfighter . Obi - Wan then met up with Senator Bail Organa and Yoda , and soon learned that Anakin had turned to the Dark Side and become Darth Vader . Yoda ordered Obi - Wan to confront Anakin , while he dealt with the now - Emperor . Obi - Wan found Anakin on Mustafar , when he stowed away on the pregnant Padmé ' s ship after he suspected that she was going to meet the new Sith . Obi - Wan then fought Anakin in a lengthy duel on the lava world , and was successful in defeating his former student , severing his legs and non - mechanical arm in one strike . Obi - Wan left the scene , taking Anakin ' s lightsaber as he fell into the lava . Obi - Wan then took Padmé to Polis Massa , where she gave birth to twins : Luke and Leia . Obi - Wan decided to take Luke to his step - uncle and aunt on Tatooine and watch over him from a distance , and Bail would take Leia to Alderaan as his adopted daughter . Nineteen years in to the reign of Emperor Palpatine , head of the Galactic Empire , Obi - Wan , who now went by the name Ben , encountered Luke Skywalker . Luke was pursuing R2 - D2 , who was insisting that he had to deliver a message to Obi - Wan . The message was from Princess Leia , who was asking Obi - Wan to take Artoo , who had the schematics of the Empire ' s new battlestation , the Death Star to Alderaan so that the Rebel Alliance could find a way to destroy it . Obi - Wan eventually convinced Luke to come with him to Alderaan , and began to train him in the ways of the Force . Kenobi hired the " Millennium Falcon " , piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca , to take himself , Luke , R2 - D2 and C - 3PO there . When they arrived in the Alderaan System , they discovered that Alderaan had been destroyed by the Death Star , and their ship was caught by one of the station ' s tractor beams . After eluding capture from the Imperials , Ben set out to disable the tractor beams alone . After evading Stormtrooper s , he was able to disable the tractor beam , but was met by Darth Vader , who Palpatine had saved from the lava on Mustafar and put him in a black suit of armour . Former Master and Apprentice duelled for the last time , but then Obi - Wan , seeing Luke running towards the " Falcon " , realised that he could help Luke better in other ways , allowed Vader to strike him down . However , during the nineteen years he had spent on Tatooine , Obi - Wan had learned how to retain his identity after death after receiving training from his old Master , Qui - Gon . Obi - Wan helped and watched over Luke on several occasions , including telling him to trust his instincts instead of the targeting computer when he was a part of the Rebel Alliance ' s assault on the Death Star , leading to the space station ' s destruction . Obi - Wan was present on Endor with Luke after the destruction of the Emperor and the Second Death Star , along with two of his recently deceased friends who had also learned how to become Force ghosts - Master Yoda and Anakin Skywalker , who Luke had helped to turn back to the light before his death .
