Obi-Wan Kenobi: From Luke Skywalker to Darth Vader, major Star Wars characters the Jedi is closely connected to

Darth Vader aka Anakin Skywalker

Anakin Skywalker is the most powerful Jedi, even after he almost died at the hands of his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. That’s right. Obi-Wan’s apprentice Anakin Skywalker is none other than ‘the (former) chosen one’ Darth Vader, who embraced the dark side. The series begins from when Anakin is resurrected and Obi-Wan comes to know about it. He comes to know that the man he treated like his brother once is alive, which sets the pace for an exciting duel. This happens after Obi-Wan threw his apprentice into volcano after slicing his hands into half. Somehow, Anakin was saved and now, he is back and powerful than ever.

Luke Skywalker

Young Luke Skywalker is just adopted to protect his identity as a future Jedi. Obi-Wan promised to always look over him and he did (at least most of the times, especially when he didn’t have battles to fight). After Anankin turned Darth Vader, Luke became the chosen one and Yoda pushed Obi-Wan to specially take care of the child and train him to become a Jedi.

Princess Leia

This one shouldn’t come as a surprise since Luke and Leia are brother and sister. Obi-Wan literally was with Anakin’s wife Padme when she gave birth to Luke and Leia. In the series, Obi-Wan is tasked with saving Leia, who has been kidnapped to lure him in and destroy all surviving Jedi.

Master Yoda

Obi-Wan was also trained by Master Yoda for a brief period of time. Also, how can one forget how Obi-Wan first summoned his ghost and then Yoda’s, in order to help Luke on his path?

Darth Maul

Before Darth Vader, there was Darth Maul. This particular person made Obi-Wan his enemy for life by killing Kenobi’s master, Qui-Gon Jinn. Of course, Obi-Wan took his revenge by slicing Darth Maul into half but somehow, this evil man’s upper body survived and he came back. Whether the series explores that, is yet to be seen.
