Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi (57 BBY - 0 BBY) is a fictional character in the Star Wars galaxy, a Jedi Master of legendary status. He teaches both Anakin and Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force.

Personality

In his youth (circa The Phantom Menace), the loyal and dedicated Obi-Wan Kenobi possessed a dry sense of humor and sarcastic wit. Yoda said that he sensed Jinn's defiance in him; nonetheless, he spoke very highly of him. Jinn himself praised Kenobi's considerable knowledge and potential. As a Jedi Knight, he was cynical, though wise beyond his years. His humble and soft-spoken demeanor belied his warrior prowess. A skilled pilot, Kenobi carefully measured his actions in any situation, giving him the nickname "The Negotiator" during the Clone Wars.

In the original trilogy, he appeared as a kindly and eccentric old hermit of the Jundland Wastes, and wizard to those not familiar with the ways of the Jedi. He retained his patience and foresight as well as gained the quality of boldness reminiscent of his youth—perhaps a characteristic acquired from his brash apprentice, Anakin.

It is interesting to note that Kenobi lost some of his youthful audacity that was seen in Episode I and assumed the role of a more cautious mentor in Episode II.
