Obi-Wan Kenobi’s story did not end with the original trilogy. It was expanded in the prequels and The Clone Wars, and we even most recently saw him again in Obi-Wan Kenobi. He had an impact on everyone he came across, good or bad. In my opinion, he is one of the best Jedi there is. This Jedi has had an interesting life, especially when it came to his students. Since he’s been in so much Star Wars media, let's take a look at some of his best moments throughout the years.
5. Obi-Wan Letting Darth Vader Kill Him

Our first meeting with Obi-Wan Kenobi happened on Tatooine, the homeworld of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker. At this point, Obi-Wan is just an old hermit, known to the people as Ben Kenobi. Once Luke meets him, his life changes, and he is thrust into the galaxy with Kenobi. While on the Death Star, Obi-Wan reunites with Darth Vader, and the two have a duel, that ends quickly. To help Luke on his journey to become a Jedi, Obi-Wan lets Vader kill him, to become one with the force. We see him continue to help throughout the other movies, through the force.

Obi-Wan goes through a lot during the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi. One of these is finding out that Anakin Skywalker is still alive. Obi-Wan narrowly escapes the Empire’s grasp throughout the show, until it all comes to a head during the final episode. Here, he is confronted by Vader, and the two duel it out once again. Obi-Wan has found his center and rediscovered who he is, so he is ready to go when this duel comes around. He slices Vader’s helmet and sees the face of the man he used to know. He is shaken, but Vader assures him that he killed Anakin, not Obi-Wan. This moment causes the Jedi to finally find peace.

Sith Assassin turned Bounty Hunter Asajj Ventress has had an interesting life. She came across Obi-Wan Kenobi many times. During one mission, Kenobi is stuck on a ship with Maul and his brother. The three of them fight, but with Savage Opress and Maul against him, the fight isn’t exactly fair. That is until Ventress makes an appearance. They each use one of her lightsabers and fight the brothers. It’s one of the coolest team-ups and fights, in all Star Wars.
2. The Battle On Mustafar

The fight on Mustafar is one of the most iconic duels in the Star Wars prequels, it also has some of the saddest moments. Obi-Wan hides on Padme’s ship when she flies to Mustafar to confront Anakin. Obi-Wan does not hesitate to make himself known and tries to reason with Anakin, but by then, Anakin is too far gone. The two then ignite their lightsabers and begin to fight. They fight all over the place, including on pieces floating in lava, it’s pretty cool. It ends with one of the saddest moments in Star Wars, as their brotherhood falls apart.
1. Obi-Wan And Darth Maul’s Final Fight

Obi-Wan and Darth Maul have a tumultuous relationship. The Sith killed his master, Qui Gon Jinn, and then was cut in half by Kenobi. Eventually, he was found by his brother, Savage Opress, and put back together. Ever since then, he has been hellbent on revenge against Kenobi. The two meet for the last time during Star Wars: Rebels. They have a final duel, with Obi-Wan getting the final blow. Darth Maul succumbs to his wounds and dies in Kenobis arm, a fitting end.
Star Wars wouldn’t be the same without Obi-Wan Kenobi. He trained Anakin and Luke Skywalker and always kept true to what he believed in. He was a truly great Jedi, who had many iconic moments but these were truly some of the best.
