'''Obi-Wan''' "'''Ben'''" '''Kenobi''' ({{ja|オビ＝ワン-ケノービ|obi ＝ wan - kenōbi}}, ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'') is a fictional character in the ''Star Wars'' franchise owned by [[Disney]].

==Origin==
The character is loosely inspired by General Makabe Rokurōta, a character from Akira Kurosawa's film ''The Hidden Fortress'', who was played by Toshiro Mifune (whom franchise creator George Lucas also wanted to cast as Obi-Wan originally).<ref>{{cite web|last=Enk|first=Bryan|date=January 14, 2013|title='Seven Samurai' star Toshiro Mifune: The would-be face of Darth Vader?|url=https://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/seven-samurai-star-toshiro-mifune-face-darth-vader-202128282.html|access-date=December 24, 2015|website=[[Yahoo.com]]|archive-date=July 14, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714233346/https://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/seven-samurai-star-toshiro-mifune-face-darth-vader-202128282.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In an early draft of the original ''Star Wars'' film, Obi-Wan's first meeting with Luke Skywalker is lifted directly from ''The Hobbit'', acknowledging Gandalf as a source of inspiration.<ref>{{cite book|last=Taylor|first=Chris|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uG0uCgAAQBAJ&pg=PT96|title=How Star Wars Conquered the Universe: The Past, Present, and Future of a Multibillion Dollar Franchise|publisher=Performing Arts|year=2015|page=96|isbn=9780465097517|access-date=January 1, 2019|archive-date=August 3, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803114538/https://books.google.com/books?id=uG0uCgAAQBAJ&pg=PT96|url-status=live}}</ref> Lucas originally planned for Obi-Wan to live through the original film, but found that the character had nothing to do during the culminating battle sequence. Lucas later reflected that he felt that "It would be much more powerful, satisfying and interesting if Darth Vader were to kill him and he were to go on to a different form."<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Houser|first1=Jody|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WSS_DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT69|title=Star Wars: Age of Republic|last2=Sacks|first2=Ethan|last3=Guggenheim|first3=Marc|publisher=Marvel Entertainment|year=2020|isbn=978-1-302-51957-5|location=New York|pages=69|language=en|access-date=September 17, 2020|archive-date=November 5, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201105014502/https://books.google.com/books?id=WSS_DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT69|url-status=live}}</ref>

In the the original trilogy, Obi-Wan is a Jedi Master as a supporting character. In the later-released Star Wars prequel trilogy, a younger version of the character serves as one of the two main protagonists, alongside Anakin Skywalker. In the original trilogy, he is a mentor to Luke Skywalker, to whom he introduces the ways of the Jedi. After sacrificing himself in a duel against Darth Vader, Obi-Wan guides Luke through the Force in his fight against the Galactic Empire. In the prequel trilogy, set decades earlier, he is initially a Padawan (apprentice) to Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and later mentor and friend of Luke's father Anakin, who falls to the dark side of the Force and becomes Vader. The character briefly appears in the sequel trilogy as a disembodied voice, speaking to protagonist Rey. He is frequently featured as a main character in various other ''Star Wars'' media.
