Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi (also known as Ben Kenobi) (born 57 BBY- dies 0 BBY) is one of the protagonists of the Star Wars franchise. He is a Jedi Master who helped train Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force in the original trilogy, while becoming the deuteragonist of the prequel trilogy. Obi-Wan is also the deuteragonist in the TV show Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He was the apprentice of Jedi master, Qui-Gon Jinn, and later the master of Anakin Skywalker.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Both Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor did an amazing job portraying this Jedi Master.
 * 2) He's calm, funny and not afraid to put face his problems.
 * 3) He's a good mentor to Luke (and Anakin who came before him) as he's helpful, caring, inspirational and understanding. In fact, he even treated Luke as his own son in certain points.
 * 4) He's shown to be an excellent fighter during the prequels. Even when he was becoming old and bent out of place he still had a bit of fighting energy left in him.
 * 5) He managed to survive the Jedi purge and go into hiding for quite some time hoping he could go after Luke.
 * 6) Even with Obi-Wan's dry sense of humor, it gives him enough depth and likability to his character.
 * 7) He created memes from the franchise, that being:
 * 8) * "Hello there."
 * 9) * "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground!"
 * 10) * "You have done that yourself!"
 * 11) * "So uncivilized."
 * 12) * "Use the force, Luke."
 * 13) * "Anakin, my allegiance is to the republic, to democracy!"
 * 14) * Only a Sith deals with absolutes. I will do what I must."
 * 15) * "I have failed you Anakin. I have failed you."
 * 16) ** "I should've known that the Jedi were plotting to take over!"
 * 17) ** "Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil!"
 * 18) ** "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!"
 * 19) ** Well then, you are lost!
 * 20) Memes aside, not only his battle with Anakin was well-choreographed, but was also very tragic indeed where both master and student who trusted each other now have turned into bitter enemies by Palpatine's plan.
 * 21) * Obi-wan didn't just fail Anakin as a student, he has also failed to bring the promise of his late master Qui-Gon to find the chosen one.
 * 22) The sole fact that he was willing to die so he communicate as Luke's spirit, shows how humble and courageous as is. In fact he even got a trope named after his action known as the "Obi-Wan Moment". (see below)

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) There's been some dispute saying Obi-Wan could have chosen a more creative alias when he was going into hiding, or at least change his surname.
