Believing the boy to be the prophesied " Chosen One" who would bring balance to the Force by destroying the Sith, Master Jinn wants the boy to be trained as a Jedi. After making an unscheduled landing on Tatooine, his master stumbles upon Anakin Skywalker ( Jake Lloyd), a young slave who shows tremendous potential with the Force. He accompanies Qui-Gon to Naboo, a planet ruled by Queen Padmé Amidala ( Natalie Portman). During the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Kenobi matures from a 'by the book', headstrong and almost cold Jedi apprentice (or Padawan) in The Phantom Menace into a more sociable, but more cautious mentor in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.Īt the beginning of The Phantom Menace, Kenobi is a 25-year old Padawan to Qui-Gon Jinn ( Liam Neeson). In the original trilogy, he appeared as a kindly and eccentric old hermit of the Jundland Wastes, and wizard to those not familiar with the ways of the Jedi. A skilled pilot (who, ironically, didn't like to fly), Kenobi could make peace with words, giving him the nickname "The Negotiator" during the Clone Wars. His humble and soft-spoken demeanor belied his warrior prowess. As a Jedi Knight, Kenobi seemed wise beyond his years, if a touch cynical, with a declared distrust of politicians. In his youth (circa The Phantom Menace), the loyal and dedicated Obi-Wan Kenobi possessed a dry sense of humor and sarcastic wit, and a natural defiance.
