Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi, later also known as Ben Kenobi, was a male human jedi master active during the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War. He was the master of the young jedi Anakin Skywalker who would grow up to be the famous sith lord Darth Vader. Obi-Wan was also one of the few jedi to survive Order 66 and afterwards went into exile where he lived under an alias, calling himself Ben Kenobi.

## History

### Pre-32 BBY

Sometime during Obi-Wans early age, he would become part of the jedi order as a padawan to learn the ways of the force. As a youngling he trained with Yoda, but once Obi-Wan was old enough he got a personal master named Qui-Gon Jinn. He and his master formed a strong relationship over the years, even though Obi-Wan knew that Qui-Gon often chose not to follow what was said by the jedi council, consisting of the highest jedi in the order, and Obi-Wan was sure of that if Qui-Gon just would choose to follow what he was told to do, he would be on the council himself, because of his other strong abilities.

### 32 BBY

In 32 BBY Obi-Wan was in his 20's, and after the Trade Federation, who was part of the Republic at the time, started to show suspicious behavior, sending a blocade around the planet Naboo, Obi-Wan and his master was sent to the blocade to see what was going on. They arrived in the hangar inside the head of the blocade, consisting of several space-stations called Lucrehulk class battleships, and went deeper inside the station where they were confronted by a protocol-droid called TC-14. She told the two to wait for further instructions and gave them tea as they waited. Obi-Wan started to get bad feelings about the place, with his master not sensing anything, and soon they were attacked by gas and a group of B1 battle droids built by the Trade Federation that the jedi easily avoided and destroyed. That's when the jedi knew that something was very wrong and decided to find the leader of the blockade, Nute Gunray, and they were attacked further by droidekas who was harder to defeat. After failing to catch the separatist leader Gunray, after tearing the doors to his office with their lightsabers, because of the attacks of the droidekas, they escaped to a hangar where several battle droid-transports called MTT's were ready to leave the blockade to be sent to the ground on Naboo where they would invade the capital of the planet. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon hid inside one of the transports and followed them down to Naboo, and as the MTT's were going forward in the forests of the planet the jedi jumped out of the transport and dissappeared among the trees.

They knew they had to get to the capital and warn the queen there about the matter, and they soon saw a gungan who were about to be smashed by the separatist transports. Qui-Gon saved the gungan just in time and were also attacked by battle droids on flying speeders who they were able to get away from. The gungan soon presented himself as Jar Jar Binks who was a strange character and who seemed to be rather unintelligent. Jar Jar told that he is now in debt to Qui-Gon after the jedi master had saved his life, and Jar Jar told them that he had been banned from his own city for apparently being clumsy. Obi-Wan warned Jar Jar about the blocade and that his city are in danger, and the gungan soon agreed to guide the two jedi to his city to save it from invasion. To the jedi's surprise the gungan jumped underwater and the jedi soon followed him with the help of breathers that would help them from drowning. The water was deep and they swam after the gungan who led them to his underwater city, and there Jar Jar was soon able to pass with the help of the jedi and lead the jedi to his king Boss Nass. The jedi asked for a transport that would lead them to the capital fast to warn them about the invasion, and Nass refused to do so. Although Qui-Gon used the force to mind-trick the king into giving them a transport anyways, and Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Jar Jar took the transport to begin the journey to the capital underwater.

On the way there they were attacked by several huge fish that wanted to eat the transport, but were able to escape. They used the force to find the right way to the capital, with Jar Jar mocking the force and the jedi's tendency to use it so often.

After arriving in the capital, they found that it had already been invaded, and they sneaked into the city where they found the queen and several others as hostage of battle droids, and the jedi rescued the queen and hurried to a ship to go to the city-planet Coruscant and tell the jedi council about the matter. They were attacked by the blocade on the way there who damaged the ship, but the astromech droid R2-D2 were able to fix the damage and were afterwards thanked directly by the queen. Although as they continued to Coruscant their ship failed and they had to emergency-land on the sand-planet Tatooine to get new parts.

After landing, Qui-Gon, Padmé Amidala, Jar Jar and R2-D2 got ready to go to the capital of Tatooine (Mos Eisley) to buy the parts needed while Obi-Wan waited in the ship together with the rest of the crew. After a long while he was contacted by his master who told him that they had found a boy on the planet who Qui-Gon believed to be very strong in the force, and after measuring the boy's midi-chlorian count Obi-Wan noticed that the boys ability to use the force even surpassed Grand Master Yoda, who was one of the highest leaders in the jedi council and the wisest jedi in the whole Republic.

Soon Qui-Gon and the others went back to the ship with the new parts and the boy and were there attacked by a mysterious force-user with a lightsaber with a red-colored blade, but the group were able to escape to the ship and get out of there in time after Qui-Gon had a short light-saber fight with the warrior. Obi-Wan took care of Qui-Gon as he laid there exhausted by the surprising attack, and as they left the planet Qui-Gon introduced the boy and Obi-Wan to eachother, and the name of the boy was Anakin Skywalker.

After arriving on Coruscant Obi-Wan waited as Qui-Gon introduced Anakin to the jedi council, with Qui-Gon believing that Anakin was The Chosen One who would bring balace to the force, according to an old prophecy. Although Anakin was dismissed by the council but Qui-Gon decided that the boy would be trained anyways, and as Obi-Wan and his master walked inside looking at the sunset, Obi-Wan complained about Qui-Gons ways of ignoring the councils decisions. Soon the chancellor of the Republic would be switched to a man named Palpatine, who seemed to be more fit as a leader during the Naboo situation.

Obi-Wan and the others would soon return to Naboo again to prepare to take back the city, and they got aid from Boss Nass who gave them a gungan army to help and defeat the Trade Federation's droid army. There Padmé Amidala admitted that she is actually the real queen who was undercover to protect her identity.

The gungan army would keep the droid army busy while Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and several other Naboo troops would sneak up to arrest separatist-leaders Nute Gunray and Rune Haako, but on the way there they were confronted by the mysterious warrior again who employed his lightsaber, revealing that it could be used as a double-bladed lighsaber. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan employed their sabers as well, and the rest of the group continued their mission while the two jedi held the warrior busy, with Qui-Gon suspecting that the warrior was in fact a sith lord. A long and intense lightsaber fight started among the three, and the sith lord mostly had the upper hand in the fight. He soon succeeded in kicking Obi-Wan down a ledge where Obi-Wan fell to a floor a bit further down while his master continued the fight with the sith lord. Obi-Wan soon jumped up again as the other two came closer to a hallway consisting of several laser doors opening and closing at different times. Obi-Wan didn't make it to the others in time as the laser doors closed in front of him, with his master and their enemy also being separated by the doors. Soon they opened again with Qui-Gon and the sith lord continuing the fight, with Obi-Wan running to make it to the others before the doors would close again, but they closed right in front of him just before he was able to get there. He watched as his master fought alone with their enemy inside a circular room with a big hole in the middle, and soon the sith lord managed to hit Qui-Gon in the face with his lightsaber hilt, spinning and putting his lightsaber right through Qui-Gon's abdomen. Qui-Gon fell to the ground as Obi-Wan screamed out a no at the top of his lungs in shock, and Obi-Wan soon grew angry and waited for the doors to open again so he could confront the sith lord and get revenge. Obi-Wan and his enemy employed their lightsabers as they sensed that the doors were about to open again and when they opened Obi-Wan attacked his enemy and soon succeeded in slashing the sith lord's lightsaber-hilt in two parts. Although the sith lord were faster with one blade making things even harder for Obi-Wan, and soon Obi-Wan was force-pushed by his opponent down the hole in the middle of the room. Although Obi-Wan managed to hold on to the wall of the hole and watched as his opponent kicked down Obi-Wans lightsaber into the hole where it dissappeared into the darkness. Obi-Wan stayed there as the sith lord ripped the walls of the hole with his lightsaber to scare Obi-Wan, but soon Obi-Wan came up with the idea to get a hold on his fallen masters lightsaber, and so he used the force to grab it. He then instantly force-jumped up of the hole to the sith lord's surprise and slashed his opponent in two with his masters lightsaber, with the sith lord falling down the hole in two, being killed on the spot. After this Obi-Wan hurried to Qui-Gon who was still alive, and Qui-Gon's last wish was that Obi-Wan would train Anakin, a wish that Obi-Wan promised to furfill. Qui-Gon later died in Obi-Wans arms. Afterwards the fight of Naboo was over, with the inhabitants of Naboo succeeding in taking back the planet.

Afterwards Obi-Wan talked to master Yoda about the fight with the sith lord and his promise to his dead master, and soon the council finally let Obi-Wan train Anakin, with Anakin later being present at the funeral and cremation of Obi-Wans fallen master. The jedi council understood that the sith had actually returned after hiding for a thousand years, and they wondered which one of the sith that was earlier killed, the master or the apprentice, as there were always two sith at one time because of the Rule of Two. During the funeral Anakin asked Obi-Wan what's going to happen to himself now, with Obi-Wan telling Anakin that he's gonna be trained by him to become a jedi himself.

### 22 BBY

In 22 BBY Obi-Wan had been training Anakin for 10 years, and they were fairly close but still argued alot, especially with Obi-Wan being as strict as he was to follow the rules of the jedi order compared to his apprentice.

After an assassin attempt was made on Padmé Amidala who was now a Republic senator, Obi-Wan and Anakin were sent to watch over her on Coruscant for any other potential attacks. Anakin told Obi-Wan in an elevator about how nervous he is to meet Padmé again, and Obi-Wan understood that those kinds of thoughts about someone can be dangerous for a jedi.

After arriving in chancellor Palpatine's office they were introduced to Padmé again for the first time in 10 years, with Obi-Wan repeatingly telling Anakin to stop what Obi-Wan saw as innapropriate behavior during the meeting.

On the night as Padmé was sleeping, Obi-Wan and his apprentice guarded the outside of her room in the hallway, and in the middle of a chat they could sense that something was wrong. They rushed to Padmé's room to discover someone had injected poisonous insects into her room to attempt to kill her again but Anakin succeeded in killing the insects while Obi-Wan saw the robot who injected them outside the window. As the robot were trying to escape Obi-Wan jumped out the window and grabbed onto it, hanging on while it was rushing away in the city from the scene. Soon Anakin came with a flying car and rescued Obi-Wan when they discovered the ship who had sent out the robot. They followed the ship and Anakin followed it right into an electric field where Anakin and his master were shocked, but although remained fine. Anakin later jumped out of the car into the air down below and landed on the ship of the suspect that he could sense would be on the right place at the right time with Obi-Wan expressing that he hates when Anakin does that. Soon they managed to make the suspect crash her ship next to a bar in the city, with her later running into the bar with Anakin and Obi-Wan running after her. In the bar they split up, and Obi-Wan went to get a drink when he was confronted by someone who wanted to sell him death-sticks. Obi-Wan used a force-mind-trick and told the stranger to go home and rethink his life.

Anakin later managed to catch the suspect and bring her outside the bar with Obi-Wan coming along as well. They questioned her and just as she was about to tell them who hired her she was shot by a poisonous arrow that killed her, revealing her true form as she was a shape-shifter. The warrior that shot her flew away from the scene with his jetpack with Obi-Wan and Anakin not being able to catch him.

Later Padmé was sent back to her home planet Naboo with Anakin following her there as her guard while Obi-Wan went on a mission to study the poisonous arrow and find it's origin to track down the one who fired it.

Obi-Wan went to visit his old friend Dexter Jettster at a bar Dexter worked at, where Dexter told Obi-Wan that the arrow is originated from the planet Kamino. Although Obi-Wan had never heard of this planet before and couldn't find it in the jedi archives in the library in the jedi temple. The librarian, Jocasta Nu, told Obi-Wan that if the planet doesn't exist in the archives, it does not exist at all. Therefore Obi-Wan went to see Yoda and a group of younglings Yoda was training with to find the planet, and they found a gap in the map of the galaxy where the planet were supposed to be and came to the conclusion that someone had erased the planet from the archives somehow.

Therefore, Obi-Wan went to the location of the gap on the map with his ship and his companion who was the astromech droid R4-P17, and found the storm-planet Kamino as he expected, and he landed on a landing-pad at a group of buildings there. He entered the buildings where he was welcomed by the Kaminoans who dwelt there. There Obi-Wan found out that the Kaminoans were building an army of clones, and that the army are meant for the Republic. Obi-Wan wondered why he had never heard of this before and was told that it was ordered by a jedi named Sifo Dyas who had died 10 years prior. He was also told about a man named Jango Fett who also dwelt there, and that this man was the man who's DNA was used to make the clone army. Although Jango craved one thing, an unaltered clone for himself that he would raise himself. All the other clones were altered to age faster than other humans, to become fit for war more quickly. Obi-Wan wanted to meet Jango and were allowed to do so, and Obi-Wan told Jango how impressed he was about the army with Jango guaranteeing that they will do their job well.

Afterwards Obi-Wan went to contact the jedi council about the matter, and they asked Obi-Wan to go back to Jango and take him to Coruscant for questioning. When Obi-Wan went back to Jango he discovered that Jango and his son were trying to leave the planet, and as Jango had his armor on as they prepared to leave Obi-Wan recognised that Jango was in fact the same man who had fired the poisonous arrow on Coruscant. Jango then attacked Obi-Wan who deflected Jango's pistol fire with his lightsaber and soon they also melee fought as they came closer to eachother. Meanwhile Jango's son Boba Fett were trying to kill Obi-Wan by firing with Jango's ship Slave I at him. Soon Jango managed to wrap a wire around Obi-Wan followed by Obi-Wan kicking Jango down the platform, with Obi-Wan following after him as he was hooked onto Jango's wire. Jango managed to hold on to the steep side of the platform while Obi-Wan hang underneath trying to not fall down into the violent water, but soon the wire cut loose and Obi-Wan fell, but he managed to get himself onto a lower platform and from there enter an elevator and take himself back up on the platform that the fighting had occured earlier. As he got back there Jango and Boba managed to get away but Obi-Wan threw a tracker at their ship to know where to follow them.

Obi-Wan followed Slave I to the wasteland/desert-planet Geonosis and in the rings of the planet Slave I noticed Obi-Wan and employed several bombs at him as well as firing at Kenobi who survived through it all. Obi-Wan knew that he wouldn't stand a chance and hid inside an asteroid in the ring-system while Slave I proceeded to land on Geonosis.

Soon Obi-Wan landed on the planet as well, and it seemed to be empty of any signs of life so Obi-Wan left R4 with the ship to go and explore the planet further. Soon he discovered a fortress and inside it a group of politicians consisting of separatist leaders Nute Gunray, Rune Haako, former jedi Count Dooku and others. Obi-Wan hid himself and tried to contact Coruscant that was too remote to give an effective signal. Instead with the help of R4 he decided to contact Anakin that would send the message further live to the jedi council on Coruscant. As Obi-Wan told them about the matter he was attacked by several droidekas who later managed to capture him.

He was taken to a cell that held him floating in the air with the help of a force field, and soon he was visited by Dooku who Obi-Wan realised to be a traitor of the Republic. Dooku tried to manipulate Obi-Wan, telling Obi-Wan to join him so that they together can destroy the sith, also reminding Obi-Wan that he himself once was Obi-Wans masters master, and that Obi-Wans master probably would have joined him if he was still alive. Obi-Wan was insulted by this, telling Dooku that his master never would have joined Dooku, and turned down Dooku's offer himself to Dooku's dissapointment.

Later Obi-Wan was almost rescued by Anakin and Padmé who knew that Obi-Wan had been attacked after watching the message. They had found Geonosis and sneaked into the facility, but they were soon captured themselves by several droidekas and Jango Fett, and all three were later sentenced to execution in the Geonosian arena.

In the arena, three beasts were released to execute the three captors, who were chained to three large poles in the middle of the arena. Obi-Wan noticed how Padmé started to climb up one of the poles to survive, and she even succeeded in killing one of the beasts. Obi-Wan and Anakin managed to hold out as well, and soon they saw how hundreds of jedi employed their lightsabers in the arena. These jedi had come to rescue the three captors, and they were led by jedi master Mace Windu. Obi-Wan managed to kill one of the beasts with his spear and later joined the fight between the jedi and many hundred battle droids that were sent into the arena to take care of the jedi. Many were killed in the fight, including Jango Fett.

Soon the jedi were surrounded by battle droids and were forced to give up their fighting. Dooku gave a final speech to the jedi before he made ready to execute them all, but just as it seemed that all hope was lost master Yoda entered the arena together with the clone army that Obi-Wan had discovered on Kamino, and they were heavily armed and had several Republic Gunships that they used to save the jedi in the arena and take them away from there, including Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padmé.

Outside of the arena a battlefield started between the clone army and the droid army but Obi-Wan and the others in his Gunship were focused on following Dooku who were trying to escape the scene with his speeder. It was a bumpy ride because of the battle down on the ground and this soon resulted with Padmé and a clone trooper falling out of the ship and down into the sand below. Anakin wanted to go back for her but Obi-Wan insisted that there's no time and that Anakin would be expelled from the jedi order, much to Anakin's despisement.

They followed Dooku to a fort where they landed the Gunship. Obi-Wan and Anakin jumped out and ran after Dooku into a hangar there, and Anakin was excited to confront Dooku which made him rush towards Dooku instantly with Obi-Wan trying to stop him. This resulted in Anakin being electrified by Dooku's force-lightning and slammed to the ground which wounded Anakin but did not kill him. After this Obi-Wan and Dooku had a lightsaber fight which soon ended in Obi-Wan getting cut in his arm and leg which wounded him to the point that he could not continue fighting. Obi-Wan laid on the ground and thre his lightsaber to Anakin that were back up on his feet to continue the fight with Dooku, which soon resulted in Dooku cutting Anakin's arm off and force-pushing him to lay down next to his master. Dooku were about to kill them as they were laying there, but they were once again saved by Yoda who had found Dooku's location and entered the hangar himself which led to a fight between Yoda and Dooku, resulting in Dooku running to his ship and retreat from the planet. After this Yoda helped Obi-Wan and Anakin back to Coruscant for treatment.

On Coruscant Obi-Wan was informed that the clone wars had now begun between the Separatists and the Republic, and this event would shake the galaxy for several years to come.

### 19 BBY

In 19 BBY, it had been three years since the beginning of the Clone Wars, and Anakin was no longer a padawan. Obi-Wan and him had developed a more friendly relationship over the last few years, and was almost equally powerful. Obi-Wan had also earned himself a seat in the jedi council.

Later the two were informed that chancellor Palpatine had been taken hostage onboard separatist leader General Grievous flagship, and the two were later sent out by the Republic to rescue him. This took place above Coruscant's atmosphere, with several separatist and Republic frigates firing at eachother there.

To get to Grievous ship they had to fly through the battle in their jedi starfighters, with Obi-Wan having R4 aiding him on his ship. During the travel there they were attacked by several buzz droids, who decapitated and killed R4. They almost succeeded in taking down Obi-Wan but Anakin saved him in time, bumping his ship into Obi-Wans ship which made the buzz droids fall off. Although their ships were hurt during the attack and the landing in the hangar of Grievous ship was rough. Although they both were okay and killed every security battle droid inside the hangar to later go for the elevator which would take them to the chancellor. R2-D2, who were also accompanying them, helped them with the matter with taking over the the elevator controls for the ship that gave the two jedi trouble. After killing the security droids in the elevator and getting to the right level safely, they headed into the big room where the chancellor were held tied to a chair. Soon Dooku unexpectedly came into the room, and Palpatine told the two jedi that they would have no chance against the sith lord, with Obi-Wan telling Palpatine that sith lords is his and Anakin's speciality.

A lightsaber battle began between Anakin, Obi-Wan and Dooku and a couple super battle droids, and this soon resulted in Dooku lifting Obi-Wan with the force and throwing him into a wall with a ledge falling down on him and leaving him unconscious.

When he later woke up, he found out that Anakin had succeeded in killing Dooku after fighting him for a little while, which was a big step for the Republic. As they tried to leave the ship they were surrounded by many battle droids who took Obi-Wan, Anakin, R2 and Palpatine to the control room of the ship where Grievous was present. Grievous took their lightsabers to add to his collection but soon the two jedi managed to take them back with the force and killing many of the battle droids inside the room which resulted in Grievous fleeing the scene but leaving two of his magna droids to fight the jedi. After fighting and destroying the magna droids the jedi noticed how the ship was so hurt that it was starting to go down, and they hurried to take control of the ship and soon landing it more or less safely on Coruscant, completing the mission and bringing the chancellor back to safety.

After the battle had been won by the Republic the jedi council gave Anakin a seat in the council because of his heroic deeds and killing the sith lord that had been such a big problem over the years, but Anakin was not given the rank of master much to Anakins despise. Although Anakin accepted the offer.

Obi-Wan was later given the mission to find General Grievous and bring him to justice or kill him, which would make the Separatists very voulnerable from then on. Grievous was located on the planet Utapau so Obi-Wan prepared his 212th Battalion of Clone Troopers, led by commander Cody, to go there and take care of it. Obi-Wan told his battallion to hold on while Obi-Wan lands on the planet alone to make sure that Grievous is actually there or not. If Obi-Wan wouldn't come back at a certain time he told his battallion to come to attack.

Before leaving Coruscant he said goodbye to Anakin, who had been given a mission himself to spy on the chancellor because of strange behavior. Obi-Wan then took his new ship and arrived in the Utapau system, and landed on the planet. The planet consisted of massive holes and he landed in one of them where some kind of civilisation lived. He landed at a landing bay there and met up with the inhabitants of the planet who told Obi-Wan that Grievous is in fact there and is watching them. Obi-Wan understood and a few levels higher up he indeed found Grievous who stood together with many battle droids and several of his magna guards. Obi-Wan showed himself to Grievous surprise, and so Grievous sent several of his magna guards at Obi-Wan who managed to destroy them all, and as the other droids prepared to shoot Obi-Wan Grievous told them to hold on, and that he's gonna deal with the jedi slime himself. So Grievous split his two cyborg arms and employed four lightsabers with one in every hand, and came closer to Kenobi who had already employed his own lightsaber. So a lightsaber fight began between the cyborg separatist leader and Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan managed to cut two of Grievous robot-hands off. Soon also the 212th Battalion arrived which started the battle of Utapau between the clones and the droids. Obi-Wan managed to force-push Grievous off the ledge they were standing on, and so Grievous escaped to his wheel bike to leave the scene. Although Obi-Wan followed on a varactyl named Boga who aided Obi-Wan and followed the wheel bike. Obi-Wan soon catched up with the separatist leader who tried to electrify Obi-Wan with a magna-staff, and the two at last came to a platform with Grievous wheel bike falling down the platform into the water far down below. Obi-Wan had dropped his lightsaber while chasing Grievous so Grievous attacked Obi-Wan who only had the force and melee to protect himself with. Although Grievous cyborg-parts and magna staff were lethal and hurt Obi-Wan several times, and Grievous tried to kick Obi-Wan off the ledge of the platform after Obi-Wan had split Grievous breast plates which revelaed Grievous inner organs. Obi-Wan held on at the side of the platform, and soon he force-grabbed a blaster that Grievous had dropped from under his cloak and shot Grievous in the chest several times, leading to Grievous burning from the inside and blowing up which killed Grievous on the spot. Obi-Wan climbed up on the platform again and threw away the blaster, looking at Grievous dead body and saying that this is so uncivilised.

Afterwards he took Boga to Cody who had found Obi-Wans lightsaber. Cody gave the saber back to Obi-Wan, and so Obi-Wan rode off to continue with the battle.

Soon, to Obi-Wans surprise, his own troopers fired at him with an AT-TE which led to him and Boga falling down into the water in the bottom of the hole, and after this Obi-Wan managed to get out of there and sneak to a separatistic ship to get out of the place and leave the planet. He went back to the jedi temple on Coruscant where he met Yoda, and when arriving there he discovered that the temple had been raided and many jedi knights and younglings killed. After watching surveillance footage Obi-Wan and Yoda found out that the one who had done this was in fact Anakin, which almost made Obi-Wan break down. Although, as a jedi, he tried to keep as calm as possible about the situation. They found out that the one who had sent Anakin to do this was Palpatine, and that Palpatine was in fact the sith lord that the jedi had been looking for since the invasion of Naboo. Obi-Wan and Yoda made a plan to confront Anakin and Palpatine, and Yoda said that because Obi-Wan is not strong enough to confront the sith master he has to confront his old apprentice, much to Obi-Wans unliking. Before doing this he went to Padmé and told her about the situation, and she refused to believe it. After contacting Anakin with him telling her that he's on the lava-planet Mustafar where he had killed the remaining separatist leaders, Padmé took a ship to meet him there, with Obi-Wan hiding in the back of the ship. Once on Mustafar Padmé went out to speak with Anakin, and soon Obi-Wan also showed himself which made Anakin angry, resulting in him force-strangling Padmé. Obi-Wan convinced Anakin to let her go and so Obi-Wan and Anakin contronted eachother. Anakin gave Obi-Wan an offer to join his new Empire, and the word 'Empire' confused Obi-Wan, and soon he understood that the Republic had in fact been changed into an Empire to rule the galaxy, with the jedi being an enemy of it. Obi-Wan refused to join him and understood that he has to do what he must, and so he employed his lightsaber which resulted in an intense lightsaber fight between Obi-Wan and his old apprentice. They also used melee and the force during the fight, and the fight soon led them through the separatist hideout where everyone had been killed, onto a narrow ledge where they almost fell off, onto ropes where they swinged onto two platforms below, just above a lava pool. There they fought til Obi-Wan jumped onto a land-mass, warning Anakin not to try anything again. Although Anakin once again tried to attack his old master, with Obi-Wan cutting Anakin's arm and legs off, leading in Anakin falling to the ground right next to the lava pool, resulting in him starting to burn. Obi-Wan reminded Anakin that he was the chosen one, and that he was supposed to destroy the sith and not join them, and that he had been like a brother to him. Obi-Wan didn't have it in him to finish Anakin once and for all, and picked up Anakin's lightsaber and left Anakin to burn.

After the fight he was picked up by a ship of people who were not pleased by the new Empire, and had therefore left it to start the Rebel Alliance, who were on friendly terms with the jedi and with the goal to bring democracy back to the galaxy. They also picked up Padmé and took her to Polis Massa where she would die while giving birth to two kids, who was in fact the kids off Anakin as well. He and Padmé had a secret relationship during the clone wars, and the jedi order couldn't know about this as those kinds of relationships are forbidden there. Yoda soon told Obi-Wan that he had gotten contact with the force ghost of Obi-Wans long dead master, which was the first force-ghost, and that Obi-Wan through this force-ghost will learn how to become one himself after his death to achieve immortality. After this Obi-Wan and Yoda went into exile to hide from the Empire who had killed almost every jedi in the galaxy, and Obi-Wan took one of the kids of Anakin with him to Tatooine where Obi-Wan would stay in hiding for a long time. There he gave the kid to Anakins step-brother Owen Lars and his partner Beru Lars, and there the baby would grow up with Obi-Wan secretly watching over the process for the years to come, and the baby was a boy who had been given the name Luke Skywalker. So the exile of Obi-Wan on Tatooine began, hiding from the new, harsh sith-rule of the galaxy for many years to come.

### 0 BBY

    In 0 BBY it had been 19 years since the rise of the Empire, and Obi-Wan lived alone on Tatooine in his own hut and now called himself Ben Kenobi. One day he could sense that Luke was in danger, and so Ben set out to save him. When Ben came to the spot where Luke had been attacked by several tusken raiders, who were dangerous creatures living in the deserts of the planet, he chased them away with a terrible force-scream. He then went to Luke who was laying on the ground hurt after the attack on him and saw R2-D2 hiding behind a few rocks. R2 had met Luke by what seemed to be a coincidence, with Luke being his new owner.

Luke was later brought back to safety in Ben's hut, and now Ben understood that it is time to tell Luke about his father, without revealing that his father is actually Darth Vader, and so he told Luke that his father died long ago in the hands of Vader and also told Luke a little about the Clone Wars and how the jedi knights were the protectors of piece in the old Republic, before the Empire. Ben also showed Luke Anakin's old lightsaber, which amazed Luke alot. Luke also showed a message to Ben via R2-D2 that showed one of the leaders in the Rebel Alliance calling to Ben for help and telling Ben that he is her only hope, and this leader was Leia Organa who was secretly the other child of Anakin and the sister of Luke. After this Ben would set out to help Leia, and bringing Luke and his two droids R2-D2 and C-3PO with him.

First they stopped by at Owen Lars and Beru Lars, only to find that they had been burned to death by what Ben suspected to be imperial troopers, and so they continued to the city Mos Eisley to find someone who perhaps can give the group a ship to go to Alderaan where they might find Leia. They stopped by at a high place to look at Mos Eisley in the distance, with Ben telling Luke that he will never find a place so full of scum and tyranny as this one.

When they completely arrived in the city on Luke's speeder they were stopped by several imperial sandtroopers, and Ben used a mind-trick on them to let himself and his group pass by without trouble. They later entered the Mos Eisley Cantina, where droids were not allowed to follow inside. In the cantina Luke were confronted by two aliens of different species that started trouble with Luke, but one of them had his arm cut off by Ben's lightsaber as a result, which stopped the fight. Luke and Obi-Wan later made contact with a human smuggler and a wookiee named Han Solo and Chewbacca in the cantina, and Han allowed Ben and Luke to follow along in his and Chewbaccas ship to leave the planet, for a good price.

When Han, Chewbacca, Ben, Luke, R2 and 3PO entered Han's ship, called The Millenium Falcon, they were attacked by sandtroopers who had been alerted of Ben being a jedi, but the group managed to get away safe.

On the way to Alderaan Ben started his teaching to train Luke to become a jedi himself, and gave Luke a helmet to block his vision and a lightsaber which he would use to deflect the shots fired from a training-droid by using the force, succeeding pretty well. Han was sceptic about it all and mocked the force, but Ben smiled at his statements as Ben knew the truth about it all.

When arriving at Alderaan they found that the planet had somehow been blown up, and saw a lonely imperial TIE Fighter flying by them in space. The Falcon started to follow the TIE Fighter who were flying towards a gigantic sphere-shaped object that everyone exept Ben thought to be a moon, with Ben telling them that it is no moon, but a space station. The station dragged pulled the Falcon towards it, making Han lose control of his ship. So their ship entered the station, and the group hid inside a pair off secret spaces on the floor inside the ship.

When the imperial troops inside the Death Star explored the ship that had entered the station, they were attacked by Obi-Wan and the others who took their armor and disguised themselves as stormtroopers and prisoners. They sneaked out of the ship into the hangar and into a room close by, and Ben told the others to wait while he goes off to fix a few things.

First Obi-Wan went to the generator that powered the pull of the Death Star to shut it down, making it possible for the Millenium Falcon to escape for later. He succeeded in doing so and sneaked by two Stormtrooper-guards that were discussing other business.

After this Ben went to a corridor where he met none other but his old apprentice, who was now the sith lord Darth Vader. Ben employed his lightsaber and Vader employed his own, resulting in a small lightsaber fight between the two. Ben told Vader that if Vader were to strike Ben down Ben would become more powerful than Vader could ever imagine, and soon Ben saw Luke and the others together with Leia who they had seemingly rescued from a cell onboard the station. This is when Ben knew that his job had been done, and that it was time for him to sacrifice himself to become one with the force. So Ben lifted his lightsaber in a non-lethal position to let his old apprentice kill him, and that is what Vader did, resulting in the death of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

## Legacy

After Obi-Wans death he became one with the force, becoming a force ghost as his masters force ghost had taught him, which resulted in his body vanishing after Vader killed him, and Obi-Wans force ghost would guide Luke several times in the years to come. First it told Luke to use the force during an attack on the Death Star that Luke was involved in, and with these simple words Luke was able to destroy the battle station once and for all after launching missiles into an exhaust port in the station.

Obi-Wans force ghost would once again show up on the snow-planet Hoth years later, and there it told Luke to go to the Dagobah system where he would continue his jedi training with Yoda, who was hiding on Dagobah since the rise of the Empire. The ghost had made contact with Yoda on Dagobah and often remained there, with it being present both soon after Luke got to know Yoda on the planet, and when Luke made ready to leave the planet.

A year later Luke had found out that Vader was in fact his father, and asked the force-ghost of Obi-Wan why he lied about his father, with the ghost telling Luke that the story Luke first was told was true from a certain point of view. During this time Yoda had died himself, becoming a force-ghost as well.

After the defeat of the Empire in the hands of the Rebellion, a big ceremoney was held on the forest-moon Endor by the ewoks living there, where Luke and his friends also were present. There the force-ghosts of Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin Skywalker (who died himself a bit earlier after redeeming himself and killing his sith master) were present and watched Luke with happiness because of the success.

30 years later on the planet Takodana, the voice of Obi-Wans force ghost can be a heard in a force-vision triggered by a girl named Rey, telling her that these are her first steps.

## Personality

Obi-Wan was a basic jedi in the Republic, being very loyal to the jedi order and trying as hard as possible to stay true to the jedi code. He was also a very humoristic person, showing humor and sarcasm in even the most serious situations. Obi-Wan was also a very confident person, and positive alot of the time.

## Notes

* Obi-Wan seemed to have become very forgetful during his exile on Tatooine, telling Luke that he did not remember ever owning a droid, and not seeming to recognise R2-D2 or C-3PO after meeting them again. This could also be Obi-Wan hiding the information from Luke.
