Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Master

By Chip Miller
Obi-Wan Kenobi is known best for the role he played in the Skywalker family. At his outset Obi-Wan was the Padawan Apprentice for Qui-Gon Jinn. Eventually during the training process it would become clear the Obi-Wan would surpass Qui-Gon in ability, knowledge and wisdom.

In a decisive battle between Obi-Wan and Darth Maul the young Padawan displayed tremendous skill and focus. His mastery showed his ability was rightly deserving of Jedi Knight classification. This would be deferred upon him by Master Yoda with the full Jedi Councils approval.

His first assignment would be to train the newly discovered Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan would soon find out that while Anakin was extremely gifted he lacked qualities necessary for a Jedi to display. The young and seemly innocent child would grow up to become a Dark Lord of the Sith and become the end of him.

Before his death Old Ben, whom Luke Skywalker referred to him as, would watch the growth and quietly protect the son of Darth Vader. It was his intent to shade him from the clutches of the Dark Empire whom its ruling parties seeked to find the young Skywalker and turn him away from any good. Luke would come to view Obi-Wan as an important mentor. Into old age Kenobi would seek to serve in this capacity for Luke. Beyond that he appeared in a spirit form to guide Luke past the Emperor.

Eventually Obi-Wan Kenobi would be rejoined with the reclaimed Anakin Skywalker in the exciting epoch finale of the Return of the Jedi.
