Who is Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Obi-Wan Kenobi first appeared on screen in 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope. He was played by Alec Guinness. In the movie, he helps train young Luke Skywalker to use the “force.” Later in the movie, he was struck down by Darth Vader, Luke’s father. But his spirit returned to guide Luke in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

The prequels to the 1970s movies, gives deeper insight into the character. It is Oki-Wan’s responsibility to train young Anakin. In the first of the prequel trilogy, The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan was introduced to Anakin by his master Qui-Gon Jinn (Lia Neeson). His master discovered Anakin’s powers, but was slain by Darth Maul.

In the other two films, Obi-Wan trains Anakin in the ways of the Jedi. But Anakin is being pulled more and more by the force. Eventually, Anakin succumbs to the dark side in Revenge of the Sith. He helps Emperor Palpatine wipe out the Jedi and establishes the Galactic Empire.

Obi-Wan survives and flees to Tatooine with Luke. Luke is the son that Anakin didn’t know he had. Luke also has a twin sister, Leia, who went to live with the royal family of Alderaan.
