101 Facts About Obi-Wan Kenobi

[@joshfactor1]

no matter what they say, he was still one of the greatest jedi who ever lived (or at least the most stalwart)

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

That's true.....but only from a certain point of view.

[@genesius624]

@@Bad_Wolf_Media "from my point of view obi wan is not evil"

[@Svensk7119]

Agreed! Man-law? Man-law!

Always watching right when you drop, love your videos! Been subbed for a long time!

[@Mega-Dan17]

With fact 32, I wonder if there has been a change at some point. I’ve been reading Master & Apprentice and in Chapter Eight, when reacting to the story of Rael Averross being identified as Force sensitive at five years old, Obi-Wan say “I was brought in late, and I was only three.” Doesn’t bother me at all, cause not even the story group can catch every little thing. Only stood out since I just finished that chapter yesterday

[@CouncilCape897]

I noticed this video mixes up Legends and Disney Canon information without specifying which continuity each fact belongs to. But at least that particular fact doesn't affect any story, so it doesn't bother me either.

[@myriadmediamusings]

I love how Star Wars names coming from comedic late show hosts is a thing (Stewjon from Jon Stewart and Conan Antonio Motti from Conan O’Brien). I await when we’ll get a future Jedi named after Jimmy Fallon or a capital warship named after Arsenio Hall.

[@Compucles]

I'd rather see a smuggler with a large chin named after Jay Leno.

[@thevenom2731]

@@Compucles call him J'ah Loni.

[@Jedi_Spartan]

6:53 Labyrinth of Evil's version of "that business on Cato Neimoidia" is funnier... 8:51 Kenobi was also thought dead during the Battle of Jabiim... Anakin took it about as well as he did during the aforementioned TCW arc.

[@MCLegoboy]

Missed opportunity to say that when Obi-Wan was undercover as Rako Hardeen, he already had the codename of Ben to keep his identity secret. That was a great moment of fan service that actually had a place in the story. Is it the origin? I'm not sure, but I like to think it is.

[@kenji6492]

I think “Ben” is attributed as a nickname from Satine when they were on the run together. He reused it as Rako because nobody but him knew the significance of it.

[@storiesbydarksaberlight1517]

Satine gave him the name Ben way before the Rako Hardeen incident

has Satine Kryz and Obi-Wan's year on the run ever been told in full or only referenced?

Im pretty sure that the upcoming canon young adult book. Padawan. Will tell that story. That book will come out in 26th of July this year

[@CappyKitten]

Obi-Wan is one of my favorite Jedi, right next to Luke, Anakin, Ahsoka, Plo Koon, and of course Yoda!

[@carolbriscoe9337]

Thank you. You have reassured me there is enough material to create the trilogy planed for the series. At least his meeting with Kanan and the final duel with Maul are sure to be included.

[@robertpiccinino5612]

This video was so informative thanks so much.

[@joncarroll2040]

My favorite "fact" which you didn't mention is that before it was retconned with the release of Episode I, Obi Wan was actually the brother of Owen Lars.

[@Compucles]

Was that ever specifically stated anywhere in the EU or just an early development idea that was never used? I never read anything that said that.

[@sbg754]

@@Compucles It was mentioned in ROTJ novelization with an only one line.

[@tom3151]

I can't wait for brotherhood Obi wan is my favourite star wars character and I love learning more about him

[@The_Disturber]

I dare you to do a 101 facts about a minor character like Bib Fortuna (who weirdly is my favourite character from Star Wars), I don't even know if there are 101 facts about him, but I would love to see a video about him anyway

[@MCLegoboy]

It would be close, but if you included the Legends continuity, behind the scenes info, and toys, maybe even info for voice dubs for other coutries, you could probably get around 101 facts for Bib Fortuna.

[@Dachshund-br8pj]

Most humans are 90% water. Skywalkers are 90% drama. Obi-wan is 90% sass.

[@storiesbydarksaberlight1517]

Master and Apprentice states that Obi-Wan was several years old when he was taken to the Jedi Temple. He mentions this was older than most younglings.

[@thl2217]

I absolutely love these videos you put out but i have one small reguest because you intrigue me so! Could you please so on screen what the source of the facts is from? So if I wanted to read the comic, what the episode or film i could? Thanks so much!

[@bemasaberwyn55]

I didn't know they recanonized Siri

[@gasaholic47]

As anyone who has taken a Japanese martial art knows, the Japanese word "obi" refers to the belt of rank a student wears around their "gi," or uniform. Whether or not Lucas chose that word for Obi-wan's first name as a subtle reference to a Japanese swordmaster is anyone' guess. And, I'm actually reading 'Master and Apprentice" right now, so it will be interesting to see what that incident regarding the starfighter turns out to be.

[@DarthK1tteh]

Actually, I learned what "obi" was from doing crosswords where the hint was often just "kimono sash" and I solved the other words that crossed it. I actually thought it meant ribbon because that's that the kimono belts looked like to me, especially with the huge bow at the back, lol.

[@gasaholic47]

@@DarthK1tteh It’s probably both. I took Goju karate for 4 years, and was taught the belt was called an obi.

[@DarthK1tteh]

@@gasaholic47 Man that's cool that you stuck with it. My dad sent me to a karate class when I was around 7 or 8 but everyone else was like 5... I felt bad hitting these little children so I told my dad I didn't want to go back. Ended up doing ballet for 4 years.

[@elsarules2870]

WAIT, SIRI IS CANON NOW?!?!?! I remember reading about their relationship in Legends books, and I always loved it! I always thought that played a role in Obi-Wan being lenient with Anakin about Padmé - because he understood the emotions involved, even if he and Siri chose to put them aside.

[@Batbird74]

Why wasn't a Padawan assigned to Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars? Was it just that Ahsoka was exceptional and they risked her being trained during the war? It seems that padawans often follow their masters into dangerous situations frequently - why would war be any different? Obi is my favorite Jedi (despite his faults) and I think he would have done well with another Padawan.
