Quotes by Obi-Wan Kenobi

You will find that many of the truths we cling to, depend greatly on our own point of view.

The Force will be with you. Always.

Who's the more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?

Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them!

In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.

Your father's lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as random or as clumsy as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me.

The truth is often what we make of it.

Don't forget, she's a politician, and they're not to be trusted.

We will do exactly as the council has instructed. And you will learn your place, young one!

Princess Leia Organa, you are wise, discerning, kindhearted. These are qualities that came from your mother. But you are also passionate and fearless, forthright. And these gifts are gifts from your father. Both were exceptional people who bore an exceptional daughter.

You grow too aggressive, Anakin. Be mindful. A Jedi's goal is to defend life, not take it!

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess... then you have nothing.

One doesn't survive as long as I have by being foolish or unprepared.

This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen, with the dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi: trust in the Force. Do not return to the Temple. That time has passed, and our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged: our trust, our faith, our friendships. But we must persevere and, in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you. Always.

Anyone can fire a blaster. Very few can safely and skillfully wield a lightsaber. Everyone in the galaxy knows this to be true. We want our opponents to know that we use a weapon that requires intention. Training, precision and choice. The lightsaber symbolizes the care with which we approach our gifts through the Force and the care with which we wield them. It reminds others that while we could do more... we very purposefully do not.

These blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only imperial stormtroopers are so precise.

It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground.

Anakin is the father, isn't he? I'm so sorry.

You are strong and wise, Anakin, and I am very proud of you. I have trained you since you were a small boy. I have taught you everything I know. And you have become a far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be.

He will not let me down. He never has.

Anakin, our allegiance is to the senate, not to its leader, who has managed to stay in office long after his term has expired.

These are your final steps, Rey. Rise and take them!

Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed.

Luke, I don't want to lose you to the Emperor the way I lost Vader.

Your need for victory, Anakin, it blinds you. You're a great warrior but your need to prove yourself is your undoing. Until you overcome it, a Padawan you will still be.

Have you ever been afraid of the dark? How does it feel when you turn on the light? Yes, the Force feels like that.

Haja: "The shadows are my realm, for the light is an unforgiving place for my kind."
Obi-Wan: "Of course. How much?"
Haja: "500 to locate the girl, another 300 to take you to her."
Obi-Wan: "Goodness, that light is unforgiving."

There's more to life than your farm, Owen. He needs to see that. There's a whole galaxy out there.

Unfortunately, war tends to distort our point of view. If we sacrifice our code, even for victory, we may lose that which is most important, our honor.

You will go to the Dagobah system. There you will learn from Yoda, the Jedi master who instructed me.

The fight is done. We lost. Stay hidden!

I am not blind, Padmé. Though I have tried to be, for Anakin's sake. And for yours. Anakin has loved you since the day you met, in that horrible junk shop on Tatooine. He's never even tried to hide it, though we do not speak of it. We pretend that I don't know. And I was happy to, because it made him happy. You made him happy, when nothing else ever truly could.

Bo-Katan: "Maul must really want you dead."
Obi-Wan: "You have no idea."

Obi-Wan: "You're right on time."
Anakin: "Oh, really? I thought I was late."
Obi-Wan: "That's what I meant."

It takes strength to resist the dark side. Only the weak embrace it.

Obi-Wan: "You were the chosen one. It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the force... not leave it in darkness!"
Anakin: "I hate you!"
Obi-Wan: "You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you!"

Anakin: "You will not take her from me!"
Obi-Wan: "Your anger and lust for power have already done that."

Anakin: "I sense Count Dooku."
Obi-Wan: "I sense a trap."
Anakin: "Next move?"
Obi-Wan: "Spring the trap."

Well, if droids could think, there'd be none of us here.

One other thing: I killed Maul once. Best to capture him. He doesn't seem to stay dead.

It's been my experience that Senators are only focused on pleasing those who fund their campaigns and they are more than willing to forget the niceties of democracy to get those funds.

Anakin: "We lost something."
Obi-Wan: "Not to worry. We're still flying half a ship."

I felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

You don't need to see his identification. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

You're focusing on the negative, Anakin. Be mindful of your thoughts. She was pleased to see us.

A great leap forward often requires first taking two steps back.

He's more machine now than man; twisted and evil.

Anakin was a good friend. When I first knew him, your father was already a great pilot, but I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him. I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought that I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong.

Anakin: "General Grievous. You're shorter than I expected."
Obi-Wan: "We have a job to do, Anakin, try not to upset him."

The chancellor will not be able to control the thousands of star systems without keeping the senate intact.
