Obi-Wan Kenobi was 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 noble man 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 0 BBY.

Born on the planet Stewjon in 57 BBY, 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 32 BBY, 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 22 BBY, 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 7th Sky Corps, and the 501st Legion,
against the Separatist Droid Army. However, in 19 BBY,
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.
