What's your favorite Obi wan moment?

Let us know in the comments by and large Obi wan's character arc can be broken down into three periods.

The first when he's whisked away to train as a padawan under qui gon jinn the second when he operates as a Jedi master and takes on a patio one of his own.

And finally, when he exiled himself to tattoo in to watch over luke skywalker and eventually introduce him to the Jedi ways.

Okay, four periods if you count his time as a wise old force ghost, but there's not quite as much to go off of.

There depend greatly on our own point of view to fully understand each period.

When must first grasp what came before Obi wan Kenobi was born on the planet studio which no, was not named after a guy named john who makes a mean broth.

You want some soup, hardly anything is known about the planet as even Obi wan doesn't remember leaving it funnily enough, the name steve john was coined offhand by George Lucas at a convention upon being asked by the comedian, Jon Stewart Lucas was clearly just having some fun.

But you know how Star Wars fans are with Cannon, you were right about one thing master.

The negotiations were short, all of which is to say that Obi wan was force sensitive from an early age and thus taken to core isn't to train as a Jedi, antithetical to his later reputation, Obi wan began his training as a rebellious little youngling.

It wasn't until he came under the direct tutelage of Qui Gon jinn that he gained a deeper respect for the force and the Jedi ways.

But master Yoda said, I should be mindful of the future, but not at the expense of the moment.

Be mindful of the living force, young padawan.

Yes, master.

During his early adventures with Qui Gon, Obi wan spent time on the planet Mandalore where he protected and ultimately fell in love with duchess, satine Krys.

I'm still not sure about the beard.

Why, what's wrong with it?

It hides too much of your handsome face though they soon went their separate ways.

Their relationship would eventually prove to be a watershed moment for the young Jedi.

Had you said the word, I would have left the Jedi order that is touching One can't speak of Obi wan's life changing relationships.

After confirming this wagon came to the conclusion that the boy was the prophesized chosen one?

You refer to the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the force.

Do you believe it's this boy?

I don't presume to, but you do revealed your opinion is the Jedi Council was staunchly against his training, sensing his fear.

However, wagon persisted with Obi wan willing to take his Jedi trials to free up space for Wigan to take on another apprentice.

Obi wan is ready.

I am ready to face the trials.

Our own counsel we will keep on.

Who is ready sadly.

For all those involved life had different plans for the prospective studies when they were sent back to Naboo to protect Queen amidala from Darth, Maul.

Promise me you will train the boy.

Yes, master.

He is the chosen one.

Years passed and Obi wan was promoted to Jedi Knight and underwent a series of adventures with a growing skywalker.

However, his past eventually came back to haunt him when a cybernetic lee enhanced Mall was revealed to be alive?

But Obi wan held firm in his beliefs, staving off his intense feelings of anger and grief.

Despite Obi wan's staunch dedication to the Jedi ways, it wouldn't be long before his life was again mardin tragedy.

His padawan, Anakin Skywalker became increasingly tempted by the dark side of the force coupled with the death of Anakin's mother and fear of the loss of padme amidala chancellor palpatine.

But with the Republic on the verge of becoming a galactic empire.

He knew he had to act fast.

I must find him.

You're going to kill him, aren't you?
