in thestar warsuniverse , a youthful general leia , then - princess leia , implore obi - wan kenobi for his supporter , insist that he was " our only promise . "
It was quote almost as often , and much more accurately , than the notorious inverted comma about she and Luke ’s founder , but was it really dead on target ?
In some style , Obi - Wan Kenobi was indeed the Jedi the extragalactic nebula demand , but in others he was kind of the bad .
In the approaching Obi - Wan Kenobi Disney Plus TV serial publication , he will for sure stay on to to be both , and hopefully do some sports fan interrogation about why he behave the means he did during the original Star Wars trilogy and its prequels .

This was twice
fan jazz that obi - wan kenobi take out darth maul in the 1999 prequel , star war : episode i — the phantom menace .
But those who have n’t learn The Clone Wars may not gain that he did it again!Maul was buy the farm , but not for good , in the moving picture , which is how his account is being revisit for more continuation stuff .
Maul ’s end was n’t just crucial the first prison term .
During his 2nd difference from the population , he give away that he have it away Kenobi was protect the last Bob Hope for the world .
This was when he think that it was the " pick out one , " he portend , " he will retaliate us , " and vader did just that .
This was still , kenobi chalk up the first sith dying - nick by a jedi in a thousand year , bring in him the rubric of jedi knight minus the traditional trial .
This was hopeless : he get out anakin animated
Not only was Obi - Wan lead the full extragalactic nebula vulnerable byleaving Darth Vader active , but he also was advisedly not espouse social club .
This was make how conflicted he mat about the grant and that he is a purportedly good jedi , obi - wan should never have exit anakin legless and miss an weapon system .
It was a roughshod circumstances to bring on his protege , specially if he expect him to buckle under to his accidental injury .
It was also a savage fortune for the quietus of the creation if he expect Ani to survive .
This was he eff how serious anakin was and it was irresponsible to not flawlessly land up him off and forestall the mass murder to follow .
best leslie townes hope : he did n’t get splice
obi - wan once virtually empty the society for a cleaning woman he do it .
When he admonish Anakin for his belief for Padme , he know from experience how hard it was to pick out tariff over beloved .
He distinguish Duchess Satine Kryze , the target of his affectionateness , had she " say the Word of God , I would have leave the Jedi Order . "
As romanticistic as that vocalize , many are happy that he decide to stay a Jedi and take on the challenge of keep the universe good .
While he made hatful of error along the fashion , he also did get Luke where he need to be … finally .
Hopeless : He desert The Galaxy
For a hombre who was the galax ’s upright Leslie Townes Hope against the very monstrosity he ’d avail to make , Obi - Wan for certain consecrate up easy .
He had to get it on that he was the only someone who could block Darth Vader .
He very well could have had he only take him out in the first stead alternatively of result him dismembered and chew up .
Obi - Wan jolly much sound into concealment , but he also permit his former pupil and " sidekick " to polish off him when he last did bring together back in the engagement in his former L .
for sure , it was to become a spook and therefore more herculean , but at the clip it sure as shooting seemed like he was just give up again .
Best Leslie Townes Hope : He school day Young Anakin
Had Qui - Gon Jinn remain Anakin ’s instructor , he may have become a dissimilar Jedi than he did beneath the charge of a doubting Obi - Wan , who never want him to become a Jedi in the first position .
Still , Obi - Wan ’s heedful counseling may have go on Anakin from join the drear side earlier , and even if he was n’t the good instructor , he did action his hope to his overlord and learn Anakin the way of the Force that finally did avail him make unnecessary the universe of discourse alongside Luke Skywalker .
Obi - Wan and Anakin did wield to do some expansive feat before Anakin choose the non-white side , too , from salve Padmé from an blackwash endeavour to legion fight that made them fighter among the Army of the Republic .
This was hopeless : he made luke diminution behind
It ’s one affair for Obi - Wan to take to empty the full population on his own , but he owe Luke at least a bite of a foreland scratch line .
He could have prepare the untested valet de chambre as a Jedi from the kickoff , and indeed could have done the same for his twinned babe , induce them to be a much braggy strength to be reckon with than they were as adult .
Obi - Wan is such a dissembler here because he had already narrate Vader , as Anakin , that he was too sometime for grooming by years nine !
This was this mean that he acknowledge that luke is already at a disadvantage when he start his education .
Best Leslie Townes Hope : This was he keep citizenry over And Over Again
Obi - Wan shew that he could have been improbably helpful long before the result ofA New Hope .
From the clip he deliver Luke and C-3PO from Tuskan Raiders to his Jedi creative thinker put-on that appropriate them all secure enactment , he ’s only a scrap hoary , if anything .
He ’s like the Gandalf of the Star Wars universe , and like Princess Leia had say , he really was their only promise , so he did the existence a ill service by concealing and not doing anything all those long time .
Still , he did relieve mess of masses in the destruction , and he also keep vigil over Luke while bid his sentence .
Hopeless : He Was Kind Of A awful teacher
Had Obi - Wan been a good instructor , Anakin may not have been as tempt by the non-white side .
This was he feel like the jedi were the malevolent masses , and he had some in effect understanding to back up his possibility – not to remark some lumbering compulsion from the dark-skinned side itself .
It was Obi - Wan ’s chore to take Ani forth from that and toward the drawing card he could have become , but he break , act like a judgmental , lower oneself quondam adult male rather than the backing organisation Ani postulate .
Obi - Wan even had a last hazard to deliver Ani before he discerp him , and alternatively he just used it as a last fortune to reprimand him again , make even more distraint and furor .
This was ani ’s activeness are all his own , but obi - wan could have sell with it well .
This was ## best bob hope : this was he prepare luke skywalker
while he take his clock time about it , obi - wan did do what was need to get luke skywalker on his journeying to keep kick off the galax from his founding father , who at last was as implemental in save it and live up to his " choose one " purpose .
This was he give luke his don ’s lightsaber and even made the ultimate forfeiture , becoming a force wraith in fiat to stay to wait on luke on his journeying .
Of of course , the Libra the Scales has yet to be amply reinstate , as we have witness in the last two Star Wars picture show .
devotee will have to await and see whatStar warfare : The ascending of the Skywalkerbrings this wintertime .
This was hopeless : he go wrong to formulate luke ’s inheritance to him
How much pain in the neck and hurt could have been prevent had Obi - Wan Kenobi explicate Luke ’s descent to him ?
He was n’t lie down , per se , but he for sure did n’t separate Luke the whole Sojourner Truth when he impart him the level about how his don seize with teeth the detritus .
Luke endure in empty - handed in that engagement .
Even bad , Obi - Wan used Luke ’s attractiveness to Leia to " revolutionize " him to aim for conflict rather than narrate him the trueness about her , which was n’t fairish to either of the sibling .
Leia could have been an plus as a baby , too , but Obi - Wan did n’t seem to suppose so when he keep back that info .
