Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a primary character in the Star Wars continuum, and one of the few characters to appear in all six films.

Raised in the Jedi temple, Obi-Wan was trained by Qui-Gon Jinn until his death, at which point Obi-Wan took on Anakin Skywalker as his own apprentice, in accordance with Qui-Gon's wishes. For the next twelve years, he and Anakin grew to be good friends, "like brother(s)", and when Anakin turned to the Dark Side and became a Sith Lord, Obi-Wan was devestated. He hid Anakin's infant children, Luke and Leia, and lived as a hermit for twenty years until he was killed helping the twins escape their now-evil father's clutches. Afterwards he continued to teach and assist Luke in the form of a ghost.

In the films he is portrayed by Ewan McGregor (as a young man; prequal trilogy) and Alec Guiness (an old man; classic trilogy).
