Best Star Wars Character of All Time Series (Obi-Wan Kenobi Character Analysis) Part 5 Video Essay
Фильм және анимация
In the Seventeenth Episode of The Best Star Wars Character of All Time Series, I go over "The Guardian of Peace and Justice", Obi-Wan Kenobi. In Part 5 of this Obi-Wan Kenobi Character Analysis, I talk about the qualities and events that make Obi-Wan Kenobi such a special character in the Prequels and Original Trilogy.
I'm sure everyone has someone they picture as the Best Star Wars Character, and I know I have quite a few. My goal in this Star Wars Video Essay is to show how many great characters there are and why any one of them could be considered the greatest star wars character of all time.

Qui Gonn and Luke. Keep in mind Luke ultimately redeems Vader and defeats the Emperor by explicitly ignoring Obi Wan and Yoda's advice. Obi Wan and Yoda despite their wisdom were ultimately products of a failed Jedi Order.

Same; similarly to Obi-Wan where he was an inexperienced mentor at a young age after finishing his apprenticeship, when I was still at university to become an engineer, I was working as a math instructor and instructing kids to the best of my ability. I was essentially in a transitionary point between being a student and mentor. So essentially when I finished university, my ability to instruct these kids would in turn end. I actually miss those days. I got through to some troublemaking kids here and there (one of whom had to live in a broken home w/ divorced parents, in particular) and used empathy to let them know that I had similar experiences, that instructors were also people, and that they’re kids with lives ahead of them who need not make the mistakes I made…

“Let’s just say we would like to avoid any imperial entanglements.” Obi-wan is so classy in his way with words

Obi-Wan Kenobi's Personality: Wise, intelligent, determined, sarcastic, rebellious (formerly), humble, modest, soft-spoken, moral, honorable, calm, level-headed, patient, peaceful, selfless, cynical, cautious, responsible, disciplined, headstrong, slightly arrogant, hypocritical, eccentric (as an old man)
Thank you for framing the matter of Obi-Wan and Yoda's insisting Luke must confront Vader again not as their telling him to kill his own father, but as their losing faith in seeing Anakin and Vader as one in the same, and thus still deserving of redemption. I'm tired of the fan consensus saying that Luke is "better" than Obi-Wan and Yoda because he was able to see through the veneer that was Darth Vader and make a choice that transcended what the Jedi and Sith were telling him, thus making him a "Gray Jedi". Obi-Wan and Yoda have more experience with Anakin than anyone - of course they would lose faith in the possibility of his coming back. He's been Vader longer than he had been Anakin. But Luke, with no experience of Anakin other than the stories regaled unto him by Obi-Wan and Yoda, had just as much reason as they had experience to want to believe otherwise. That doesn't make him better than them, it just means he's operating from a certain point of view. Where Obi-Wan and Yoda look back on the memory of Anakin Skywalker with fondness, caution and regret, Luke chooses to believe in his legend.

Also, maybe even more importantly, Anakin is Luke's father. Even though they didn't really know each other, that's still a bond that Obi-Wan and Yoda didn't have with Anakin. Whether he really sensed the good in him or just wished it, that's more than enough reason for Luke to want to save his father.

@@kab649 Yeah. Looking at it from Anakin's perspective, Obi-Wan and Yoda may well have been "like" Anakin's father, but we all know who he actually went to for the fatherly advice. In the end, Yoda was a teacher and Obi-Wan was a brother. And Anakin always gravitates towards that which feels like family. That which feels like his mother. The Jedi taught and emphasized compassion and unconditional love, but Anakin felt and was manipulated to think it lacked the more personal affect he was used to and craved. A personal affect that came in the form of his son.

Really well said! Thank you for that
When Obi Wan first sees the death star, that has to be him seeing a vision coming true.
Please do another part for the Obi wan from the kenobi series after it’s finished! :)
I love that you put the han shot first scene with the line "will pick fights with problems that don't necessarily exist"
Hell yeah, the perfect way to unwind after watching Kenobi on release day! Would love to know if you're considering doing another part to include his characterization from the forthcoming series.

Watching this as the Kenobi series is unfolding, man do I appreciate this character and your videos breaking him down!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
That was awesome food for my brain and my heart! Keep on going 💎
yesss another part! ❤❤ I'd like to say that R2 shows loyalty not to Obi-Wan, but to Leia, when he says the message is for private to him, and when he goes searching for him
All of your character analysis videos have been amazing and i hope to see more of them. take your time if you need it, though!
Well done..and I appreciate your love for this great character.
I’ve been looking forward to this.

Good video
these have been great. do a music matching to the character. JW got all of this.
Dude you should make an anakin or Luke Skywalker video
Eyy on the day of the Kenobi release
If Vader and Anakin is the embodiment of the star wars saga, Obi Wan is definitely the spirit.
Obi Wan: Stay and watch over the droids. Qui Gon: Anakin, stay in that cockpit.
He is probably one of the most balanced characters in terms of good and evil.
Obiwan felt that he failed his apprentice but I believe there was more to this now I'm sure Obiwan could have done more for Anakin helped him not turn to the dark side there was some attachment between both master and the apprentice we have seen it .
Would love to see a video essay on Anakin
Can we all please just acknowledge and accept the fact that the duel in Episode IV (A New Hope) is the first time Obi-Wan and Vader saw each other and fought since the duel on Mustafar... That's Star Wars Canon.... not the ridiculous stories they're trying to tell us on Disney Plus... 💙
Do you think you can use KZread shorts to your advantage by making smaller videos on characters you can’t stretch into a whole video?
I only hope this series does justice to his character…

Rey was wasted. If Kathleen Kennedy had patterned Rey after Joan of Arc, it would have been a far better story.

@Revan I really appreciate the concern, but no worries I'm good. I've just gotten a bit busier lately so getting the next character has just taken a bit more time. Right now Luke is nearly complete but I just wanted to have all his videos finished before popping them out so I could use that time to work on Anakin and hopefully get on track to a more consistent upload schedule without sacrificing quality. Hopefully the next video should be published in the next couple months. I'll probably put a post at some point soon cause I know others have been wanting an update as well.
