One of the most innovative, exciting, and tragic things in
In A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi allowed himself to be struck down by Darth Vader during their fight on the Death Star. The blade mysteriously caused the hero to disappear, which surprised even the fallen Skywalker.
He is Luke's guide, and his smiling before his death indicates that yes, in fact, there is A New Hope.
In Star Wars Rebels, set five years before A New Hope, Obi-Wan appears as a hologram in the pilot episode, "Spark of Rebellion". In the Season 3 episode "Visions and Voices", protagonist Ezra Bridger (voiced by Taylor Gray) discovers that Obi-Wan is alive on Tatooine; Obi-Wan's old nemesis Darth Maul finds him as well.
Yes he did. And the saddest thing is that there was nothing he could do about it. He was broken. The first case is shortly after ROTS when Vader was making his Sith lightsaber.
He slays Sidious and returns to Obi-Wan, begging for atonement by execution, only to be met with true forgiveness instead. But just as this fantasy Obi-Wan refuses to strike his former friend down, Vader refuses to turn his back on the dark.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
While Obi-Wan was not able to rendezvous with Yoda in the Disney+ limited series, perhaps the two characters could meet in another season of the show.
Obi-Wan knew it was only a matter of time. So, he made the difficult decision to use his learnings and become one with the force, rather than let Vader decapitate him.
Anakin admits to Obi-Wan that he has been arrogant and unappreciative of his training, and apologizes to his master. Obi-Wan assures Anakin that he is proud of him, telling him that he has become a "far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be."
Vader still killed Obi-Wan, but it was described in much more detail than Vader just simply cutting down Obi-Wan. This was the passage: “[Vader] lunged forward, feinting, and then slashing in a deadly downward arc with the saber. It struck home, cutting Kenobi cleanly in half.”
“I will do what I must,” Obi-Wan says, again, as he prepares to duel Darth Vader, again. “Then you will die,” Vader answers, again, as he readies himself to fight a former friend, again.
In A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi allowed himself to be struck down by Darth Vader during their fight on the Death Star. The blade mysteriously caused the hero to disappear, which surprised even the fallen Skywalker.
Force ghosts continued to appear in expanded media and in The Rise of Skywalker. While preserving one's life force normally required special training, Anakin Skywalker was able to become a Force ghost without having received any training before his death.
The base assumption of why Obi-Wan doesn't remember R2-D2 -- in light of the prequels -- is that Obi-Wan is feigning ignorance in A New Hope to downplay the importance of the droid's arrival.
Obi Wan is one of the most powerful Jedi to have ever lived. He is the best defensive duelist in galactic history according to Mace Windu and numerous factbooks. He had a low sensitivity to the force but mastered it to his fullest potential worshiping the force as opposed to bending it to his will.
They were the only family they had left, and their brotherly connection made both of them stand out in the Jedi Order. Although Jedi were not supposed to form attachments, Anakin and Obi-Wan clearly established an almost familial relationship.
It's hard to say for certain - but even if Vader was aware of Yoda's existence, chances are he probably did not know where Yoda was; being the Jedi Master that he was, he had an exceptionally strong connection to the force - and so, he could have easily hidden his location and energy in the force whilst on Dagobah, all ...
In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the founders of the Jedi Order were Jedi Masters Cala Brin, Garon Jard, Rajivari, and Ters Sendon.
Anakin Skywalker is the son of Shmi Skywalker, born without a father through the Force. He is the secret husband of Padmé Amidala, the father of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, the father-in-law of Han Solo, and the maternal grandfather of Ben Solo.
Unwilling to see his son die, Vader gave his life to save Luke, thereby dying as Anakin Skywalker. Anakin ultimately fulfilled his role as the Chosen One and brought balance to the Force, fulfilling Qui-Gon Jinn's belief in the prophecy that foretold Anakin's destiny.
She also knows Obi-Wan, and she knows him well. Her holographic plea for help, already iconic, will never be the same. She knows Obi-Wan's real name as well as his alias of “Ben.” When Luke comes barging into her cell and says, “I'm here with Ben Kenobi,” Leia jumps off the bunk in an instant.
Vader responded “I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.” This allows Obi-Wan to finally accept that Anakin is truly gone and that there was nothing he could have realistically done to save him.
