Obi-Wan 'Ben' Kenobi is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. He is one of the protagonists in the Star Wars series; along with Anakin Skywalker, R2-D2, and C-3PO, he is one of the few major characters to appear in each of the six Star Wars films. He is portrayed in the original trilogy by Sir Alec Guinness and in the prequel trilogy by Ewan McGregor.

Obi-Wan first appeared in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, seemingly a mysterious hermit known as Ben Kenobi. He is soon revealed to be an exiled Jedi Master, who then tutors Luke Skywalker to use the Force. In the prequel films, he appears as a young Jedi, progressing from apprentice, to knight, to master on the Jedi High Council.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is first introduced in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), played by Sir Alec Guinness. He is first seen rescuing Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) from a group of Tusken Raiders, who ambush him during a search for a missing droid, R2-D2 (Kenny Baker). Obi-Wan reveals that he knew Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker, and served with him in the Clone Wars as a Jedi Knight.

He gives Luke Anakin's lightsaber, and tells him that "a young Jedi named Darth Vader...betrayed and murdered your father." Obi-Wan offers to instruct Luke in the ways of The Force, but Luke initially refuses. He changes his mind after his aunt and uncle are murdered, however, and Obi-Wan takes him along to rescue Princess Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), who has been captured by the Empire.
