Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Force-sensitive human male and a legendary Jedi Master and member of the Jedi High Council during the Fall of the Republic. During the Age of the Empire, he went by the alias of Ben Kenobi in order to hide from the regime that drove the Jedi to near extinction in the aftermath of the Clone Wars. A nobleman known for his skills with The Force, Kenobi trained Anakin Skywalker as his Padawan, served as a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic, and became a mentor to Luke Skywalker prior to his death in 1977.

Born on the planet Stewjon in 1920, Kenobi was inducted into the Jedi Order at a young age and became the apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn after completing his initial lessons under Grand Master Yoda. During the Invasion of Naboo in 1945, Kenobi defeated the Sith Lord Darth Maul and was awarded the status of Jedi Knight. Kenobi also began training Anakin Skywalker, having promised his dying master that the boy would become a Jedi, but often had to rein in his adventure-seeking apprentice. Over the years, Kenobi became concerned that Skywalker's powers made him arrogant but also regarded him as a good friend and a brother, and ultimately believed that Skywalker was in fact the Chosen One destined to restore balance to the Force by destroying the Sith.

When the Clone Wars began in 1955, the Jedi rallied to defend the Galactic Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and Kenobi became a General in the newly-formed Republic Military. Kenobi and Skywalker often served alongside each other, leading their respective clone trooper divisions, the 212th Attack Battalion, and the 501st Legion, against the Separatist Droid Army. Kenobi also ran into Maul who had somehow survived the Duel on Naboo. However, in 1957, Skywalker fell to the dark side of the Force due to the manipulation of Darth Sidious, embracing his new identity as the Sith Lord Darth Vader and playing a crucial role in the near-extermination of the Jedi Order. Kenobi, who was betrayed by his soldiers as a result of Order 66, confronted his fallen apprentice on Mustafar. The ensuing lightsaber duel between the former friends concluded when Vader was maimed at the hands of his one-time master, who withdrew into exile with Skywalker's newborn son.

For two decades Kenobi lived as a hermit on the planet Tatooine, located in the Outer Rim Territories, hiding from the Galactic Empire that replaced the Republic. In 1975, Kenobi encountered Ezra Bridger who had arrived in pursuit of Maul. This led to a final duel between Kenobi and Maul in which Maul was quickly defeated. When Princess Leia Organa beseeched him to join their Rebel cause in 1977, Kenobi was prepared to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic and also decided that the time had come for Luke Skywalker to become a Jedi like his father before him. However, their journey to Alderaan became a rescue operation upon discovering that the princess had been taken as a prisoner to the Death Star. While attempting to help his allies escape from the battle station, Kenobi encountered Vader, now rebuilt as a cyborg and forced to rely on an armored suit with life support technology in order to survive. Though he initially defended himself, Kenobi ultimately sacrificed himself, allowing Vader to strike him down as the Rebels fled on the Millennium Falcon. Yet death was not the end of Obi-Wan Kenobi, having learned to preserve his identity in the Force, Kenobi became a Force spirit and was therefore able to continue guiding Luke on the path to Jedi Knighthood.

In 2013, Kenobi was resurrected by The Force on the planet Earth along with Skywalker and Skywalker's wife Padme. With the blessing of the Remnant that was formed out of the remains of The Empire, he quickly formalized the Jedi Order of Earth which had been informally created by the fallen Jedi Master Bryan Khayman who had been slain in 2010 by Sidious after the Sith Lord's repeated attempts to lure untrained Force-Sensitives to the Dark Side were thwarted by Skywalker, Khayman, and Michael Myers among others. Kenobi was soon joined in this Order by Myers, Khayman's twin sons Jake and Jeremy, Remnant Army Lieutenant Colonel Erica Rex who was the granddaughter of Skywalker's former Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Skywalker's former Sith Apprentice Galen Marek, Skywalker's twin grandchildren Jacen and Jaina Solo and Ezra Bridger himself among others as time went by. Kenobi also established a new Jedi Code for the Order working with Skywalker to remove sections that Skywalker had either ignored, violated, or felt contributed to Skywalker's eventual fall which Skywalker joked was basically the entire thing, although this did not stop Kenobi from creating a list of things that Padawan Josh Myers was and was not allowed to use The Force for after Josh had used The Force for his own personal amusement and sending it to Josh's teacher Raechelle Sloane.

In 2020, Kenobi decided it was time for Josh to begin his Jedi Trials in order to allow Ezra to work with Darius Carpenter who was not only discovered to be Force-Sensitive himself, but was also discovered after research was done by Darnell Hollister and Kelsey Myers a descendant of the late Jedi Master Mace Windu. Although he suspected that Mace was already showing Darius how The Force worked and was likely well aware of how powerful Darius would become thanks to Kanan Jarrus.
