![The Battle that Broke Obi-Wan Kenobi's Heart - Boz Pity Explained [Battle Map]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_wlrvVZyPAQ/mqdefault.jpg)
He wasn't only the ideal jedi, he was also the master troll
And war crimes!
He was the high ground
He was also a complete chad
Obi Wan= Master Troll
Anakin= Master, at getting Caught
And FREAKING Fail Anakin his own Padawan and cast the whole galaxy into darkness, well FREAKING DONE.
"For a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were guardians of peace and justice throughout the high ground"
-Ben Kenobi
Seems right to me.
And FREAKING Fail Anakin his own Padawan and cast the whole galaxy into darkness, well FREAKING DONE.

@@gus2482 What I said is all Canon, Facts.
@@stuartemmanuel3735 Anakin was born unstable and then thrown into a life of slavery and pain. Plus it's hinted he was created by Plaguis so
The Jedi Master who almost failed to become a padawan learner, became a Knight without any trials, led the Clone Wars well without any military experience, and have the Chosen One as his first apprentice who later became a Knight himself. For someone who doesn't believe in luck, it's as if luck is written all over Obi Wan's resume.
Luck is Preparation meeting Opportunity
don't you mean, the force :O
@Ярослав Л Well, Anakin did bring balance to the Force. So it worked well in the end.
@Ярослав Л It finally opened his eyes to his own greatest failing and reunited him with Anakin in the force. I'd say it did.
From a certain point of view.
I don't think many other padawans would have defeated Maul...
Bro the episode with kenobi, anakin and dooku being stuck together was definitly the best one. Three of my favorite characters in goofy hijinks
Obi-Wan perfectly embodied two traits above all; Duty and Selflessness. A master who didn't want him because he couldn't see past his own pain, a student that didn't want him simply because he wasn't his master, three women he loved died in his arms, the first of which happened at only 13. The child that he raised that his instincts warned him about, killed the only family he had every known for the sake of his own. Finally left on the same world to watch over his failed pupils son all for the slim chance that this kid would save them. The fact that Kenobi never broke or fell speaks volumes of his strength of will.
The one dislike is from Maul.
FACTS
This is getting out of hand now there are two of them
There's is another
And from Darth Sidious, and from Snoke, and from Count Dooku, and General Grievous, and from from Ventress, and from the Dark Side of the Force
KENOBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Not only was he the ideal Jedi, but also perfectly displayed human qualities such as his difficulties in his attachments in the clone wars, showing how human he was while also being the ideal Jedi as you said. He perfectly knows what he has done and knows his flaws, and always tries to fix them, but also guides Luke to the best of his ability. Obi-wan Kenobi is the perfect Star Wars definition of a chad.
I agree. And something I feel even I forget is that all of the Jedi we see at the forefront display all the same things.
Anakin's "Unconditional Love" statement, the Jedi Apprentice Novels (I think are cannon), and glorious Clone Wars series are chock full of these kinds of life lessons. Shaak Ti, Yoda, and Plo treating the clones like ppl -while the Republic and Camino only cared about costs - made the Jedi outliers in the Galaxy. Obi Wan and Ahsoka struggle with attachment and know that doesn't mean separation but unity without clinging. Qui Gon and Obi wan (in JP Novels) have to learn trust and accepting that they aren't saints, and to accept others wisdom including from the Council.
People seem to be overlooking other fantastic stuff around the Prequels that -in my personal opinion - were a good extension of what the originals wanted us to learn from these flawed good hearted beings
And this comment is a huge reason why I love kenobi
One thing that made him an Ideal Jedi is that he's one of the only Jedi who recognized the dark parts within himself and did not shy away from acknowledging his own emotions and feelings, such as with Satine, but he accepted them and exercised self-control to make sure he was not consumed by them and that they would not cause him to fall to the Dark Side.
I just noticed how Anakin paces back and forth the way Maul did during the fight between Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Maul when they were separated by the force fields.
"He is modest, centered and always kind. He is the ultimate Jedi.” - Matthew Stover on Obi-Wan Kenobi, from the novelisation of The Revenge of the Sith.
Unlike certain Jedi masters, Obi was also capable of empathy and compassion, which puts him onto the higher ground among other Jedi characters. He also was capable of taking responsibility for his failings and a strong sense of duty, making a choice and sticking to it, while also recognizing the failures.

Ewan McGregor made me love this character in the first place. One of my favorite characters ever made.
His performance was legendary!
By far the BEST parts of the prequel trilogy. His performance in each movie is better than anyone else's by a parsec!
@@popblender he’s definitely the best actor or at least does the best acting job throughout the prequels
Add that with Alec Guinness and James Arnold Taylor's performances and voila!
Edit: Oh, and Stephen Stanton as "Ben Kenobi" in Star Wars: Rebels.
Ewan was perfect as Obi. They nailed casting for that role.
Hello There My Friends! Happy Easter Weekend! May the Force be with you always!
Master Kenobi! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Hello There Mr Spock! Live Long and Prosper my friend! 🖖🏻
“General Kenobi” - I don’t have to say who
Hey your damn apprentice cut off my arm
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Obi-Wan attempted to reason with Anakin at least twice on Mustafar. By that point Anakin had slaughtered an unknown but high amount of Jedi including kids & teens, he had gone too far and frankly, a life sentence would be merciful at that point.
To be fair, being a Jedi basically was a life sentence.
@@samueldimmock694 Not normally mostly during times of war. Either way, Anakin for sure would have likely been executed if he was a real person who did killing in that scale.
@@justchilling704 I guess I was mainly thinking of the time periods where most Star Wars media is set in, where there are so many major problems that you never get time off. During an era of stability, being a Jedi could get rather cushy, particularly if you weren't all that interested in doing the best job you could. But even then, the old Jedi Order, particularly in the time of the Prequels, was pretty restrictive: Jedi didn't own anything but their lightsabers, they were strongly encouraged to spend all their free time training and/or meditating, and they were deliberately placed in the worst trouble spots in the galaxy on a regular basis.
The other thing was that, at least in Legends, the Dark Side of the Force acts as a cross between a mind-altering drug and a malevolent will, so Anakin could be considered less guilty (emphasis on less) due to use of illegal drugs or treatable criminal insanity, and thus get off with a lesser sentence of unending hard labor. Assuming of course that the people sentencing him understood the Force but were not a part of the Jedi Order; otherwise he would be either executed or welcomed back with open arms and even more open eyes. I don't pretend to understand either ethics or the Force well enough to know which of those is the best.
He murdered his friends, colleagues, and children. Just to "maybe" save Padme and an unborn child. *After* Yoda told him to ignore the visions or they could come true. Which he was correct when he pursued his mother. Yes, a life sentence would be merciful.
@@brosephbroman7564 I think the reason why he couldn't ignore them was because the last time he had a vision of someone's death it came true. His mother. It did feel to Anakin that he was boxed in and just had no way to deal with those feelings and no one who could truly relate. Then all of that exploded. Quite the tragedy, but in the end he made his choices whether they were willing or not.
Obi Wan Kenobi: The only person who ever got the high ground on Darth Vader.
Palpatine: I’ll let him live. After all I live forever
This guy.
HE FAIL AS A JEDI MASTER AND A BROTHER, WELL FREAKING DONE
@@stuartemmanuel3735 I keep seeing this comment throughout this comment section. Please, stop hating on Obi-Wan.
The Obi-Wan Kenobi one of best Jedi general of the Grand army of the republic
He along with anakin were among the few Jedi who knew what they were doing in that conflict
Obi-Wan was imperfect and that made him perfect
also. Ewan just turned 50 recently :)
That guy is 50!?

@@ivanrenic4243 the high ground kept him young
@@rangerleaf1505 yup
"Blasters are so uncivilized."
-Kenobi
*Proceeds to use a blaster while using a saber on the other hand*
Kenobi didn’t fail Anakin, the Late Jedi Order failed Anakin and Kenobi
Anakin failed them. He refused to listen and followed his emotions. Yoda warned him, and told him to ignore the visions or they could become reality. Anakin didnt listen, instead pursued them and the visions became true, all while sinking further into the darkside.
I think Obi-Wan is a really interesting character because, unlike Anakin, he wasn't born with an immense natural gift in the force. Obviously he had a gift but he came very close to never becoming a Jedi Padawan. His strength lies in his character.
His character and personality allowed him to achieve the heights that he did. For a man who was riddled with personal insecurities, he's an excellent example of how the only obstacle preventing us from reaching the sky is ourselves.
He probably represented the best of the Jedi when they were the most flawed. While I think he was definitely slow in fully realising the flaws and hypocrisy of the Jedi Order, I believe he still tried to act to show the best of the Order.
I think the best bit that makes him the ideal Jedi is that he’s not perfect he made mistakes but he learned from them
Kenobi/McGregor had back problems from carrying the entire prequel trilogy
This is a heavy comment.
Him and Qui-Gon!
@@geetslys Qui Gons death shouldve happened in AOTC
What a stupid joke.
Best Star Wars Character ever since Sir Alec first walked into opening scene back in 1977. Like fine wine, he got better as time went on. :)
Remember to start your day right. When you see the Sun say "Hello there"
Old Ben was indeed, a man who has seen some Sith. I see what you did there.
He’s by far the greatest Jedi of all time, imagine what palpating thought of him, defeated anakin at his best, defeated darth mall, was a crucial part if not the most important warrior in the clone wars,defeated grevious and basically let Vader win.
He mastered the high ground
Kenobi what else do I have to say? he’s awesome
This video does an excellent job on why Obiwan is one of my favorite most characters ever.
Obi-Wan being seen as an ideal Jedi just shows how corrupted the Jedi had become.
He/They had lost sight that they were supposed to follow the will of the force, and instead had become too heavily entangled with the republic.
They always taught how the dark side was bad but never taught there students how to not fall to the dark side and resist its pull but they didn’t because they had been so afraid of the dark side rising again and they never tried to study the force and could follow it cause of political reasons that’s why I think we didn’t see many Jedi with crazy force abilities like back when the high republic and the old republic were a thing
The irony of the Jedi is that they taught that fear leads to the dark side, while also fearing the dark side so much that they wouldn't even talk about it.
Can you cover canon New Separatist Union and Confederacy of Corporate Systems? Also maybe cover Legends Corporate Sector Authority, Day 9
this is probably your best video, really well written and executed
I love what your doing with your videos now, this is very good and brings a new audience somewhat like Theory base audience. That love lore.
A living paradox.
I've always considered Obi Wan to be the definitive underdog among the Jedi, yet he's still a legend, which is probably part of why he's my favorite.
you are almost at 400,000 subscribers get the great milestone soon, i hope you do
So does being a sassy, witty, highly meme-able troll is the perfect Jedi way?
Don’t forget that he’s a complete chad
If not, it should be.
Excellent video!
When i think of obi wan, i get a feeling of remembrance of Ulic Del-Droma after he lost the ability to use the force.
Love your lore videos. But he never did give up on Ventress...
he was like mr rodgers was a kind hearted man who hates violence like me we all have a short life make peace not war my goal is to end the conflicts so we can prosper with my book but i aim to help like obi wan and be peaceful like mr rodgers was its you i like and i like you just the way you are you make every day a special day by just your being you and the best person you will ever be is your honest self!
Obi-Wan is by far my favorite Character in all of Star Wars. To me he is the most interesting, most caring, most human and most relatable Character the franchize has to offer. When young, he was, at heart, a brat with no special skills, abilities or talent. Neither was he a proclaimed chosen one or a battlehardened, special case Light/dark hybrid like windu, nor was he a one in a thousand years talent like yoda. He barely became a padawan to begin with and on top of that to someone who himself was somewhat of a rebell, who already had (at least going by legends and not by disney) a padawan that fell to the dark side. But he was the one to take all challenges you could think of, despite not knowing how and being thrown in it without any choice for himself. barely an adult, he took on the challenge to train the kid who was said to be the chosen one, even though the jedi order literally told him not to, just because he promised his mentor. he knew love and also was in love himself, but chose his path regardless unlike others (and by that choice shaped the course of the Star Wars history as we know it). He became a general, dispite not knowing anything about military. he bacame a jedi knight, dispite being hardly finished with his own training. he became a master, despite doing all this crazy stuff simultaniously. and his only flaw was that he wanted to please every single person that he cared for. Obi-Wans story is the story of a simple human being, that is neither perfect nor excells at anything, but always did what was the right thing to do and prefered the hard way for himself.
You said everything perfectly
I have been waiting for this video
Great video!!!!
Thanks!!
"From the beginning, old Ben was a man who had seen some Sith."
I see what you did there. lol
Its sad that they couldnt have predicted how attached obiwan was to the redemption of Ventress
Obi-wan will always be my favorite star wars character
well be fair, in ep5 empire strikes back when yoda is downin luke lol, obi wan does have that whole "so was i if you remember" line
He's pretty cool
It was impossible to redeem Vader. The only person that could've done it was Luke, his son. Obi Wan was right in a sense but the likelihood of redemption was too low. Father's see themselves in their sons. And Vader saw how he could be redeemed through Luke.
Look what I have risen above.
I read somewhere on a online Star Wars website that he had a middle class upbringing in a mercantile family. I think Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor express this side of him well in the jokes and accent he has, as well as his more somber side. I would like to see a series or film about his early years.
Thanks
Obi-Wan: *get's talked down due to some obscure reason that some random person makes up*
Also Obi-Wan: "that is facinating and all, *but your not the one with the high ground, are you?* "
I also noticed Obi-wan Kenobi had PTSD
Nice intro revenge of the Sith novel
Yeah, same.
Oh hype!! Nice
He is so handsome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
YES. Padme needed to open her eyes to the real catch!
@@geetslys hey your the guy who made the thing, hey
@@geetslys yeah but obi wan only true love was satine so padme was stuck with Anakin
Now that I think about it, our fully Light Side Revans and Exiles in our KotOR duology playthroughs are actually like Obi-wan in many ways. Does anyone agree with this assessment?
I concur.
The Anakin vs Obi-Wan duel in the movie is amazing. The Episode III novelization makes it heartbreaking. Outside of the Zahn Trilogy probably the most necessary Star Wars book out there.
The Master Troll!
Always thought Obi-Wan was a little stuffy, but rewatching the prequels, the Clone Wars and reading some Rexsoka fanfics made me realize that I really like Obi-Wan.
Reading some Rexsoka fics made you like Obi-Wan!??!?!
Woah woah woah, where does it talk about Ben’s younger, more impatient years? Because even at the start of Phantom Menace he seemed to be always kinda the level headed, calmer, albeit on occasion judgemental person between himself and Qui gon. Although I’m sure there’s a book or something I haven’t read that says more, if so, which book, I’d like to read it lol
There's an entire book series, I don't remember what it's called now.
"Why do I sense we've picked-up another pathetic lifeform?"
one of the dislike was from anakin doing upside down acrobatic trying to gain the high ground
Obe One rides it like it stole it.
I love Obi Wan he is my favorite Jedi ever I can’t wait for the show
"Ah, yes. The negotiator."
He's like a cross between Sir Lancelot and James Bond.
So that's it, the ideal Jedi must master the High Ground
Obi wan kenobi- master of trolling! Oh and soresu.
1:34
Where's this clip from? Which Star Wars animated video is this?
Ahh the negotiator
The best side of Kenobi as a perfect Jedi is his also equally flawed human side.
My favourite Jedi
His crazy apprentice cut off my hand
Jedi master
High Ground Master
Troll Master
1:32 I feel like I watched a episode of this. But I don’t remember the name of the series? Any help.
is your intro from the toy sound clip?? sounds more like the toy vs movie line
Give space jesus some love
Anakin, dont be panakin, I have a plannakin
Obi Wan really is the ideal Jedi, Luke’s lucky he had him as a teacher
Is there an animated version of star wars episodes 1-6? I saw it playing in the background of this video and it looks dope. If anyone can direct me to where I can find it would be greatly appreciated!
It's not complete but check out Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures on YT.
@@LtCaveman oh thanks a lot really appreciate it!
whats the animation that he keeps showing it looks so good
RIGHT!!
If you're talking about 1:32 and 4:30, that's Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures. They're woefully short, but they're really good.
Would have loved seeing some Clone Wars 2003 clips though.
Yo where does that animated footage come from? The animated versions of those movie scenes? Not the clone wars or actual movie footage.
Where are the animated scenes of obi from?
Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures. They animated tons of key scenes from the saga and its all up on Star Wars Kids YT channel. They. Are. Amazing. But what's more amazing are the "anime openings" people have edited from these. Sounds strange and it is but its great.
Best. Star Wars character. EVER!
How much clones of the GAR still alive at the end of war?
I love this channel
I think it's alright.
@@geetslys ................
Yeah it could use some work
Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of my favourites. He was very flawed as a teacher, and yet, a wise mand peaceful man who used both lightsabers and The Force only when he needed to.
Does anyone know the name of the star wars animation at the beginning of the video?
*and proceeded to train the worst Jedi turned Uber Sith. XD
where could I find the clip shown around 5:03?
Could you do a similar vid for anaikin
UNLIMITED HIGHGROUND!!!
I hope and believe this video's gonna get over 1million wiews
NO WAY WAS HE THE IDEAL JEDI.
What is the name of the cartoon whose footage you show? :-)
Can you do a video about how much better clone wars Anakin was than prequel films Anakin?
