welcome to WatchMojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
Obi-Wan moments Obi-Wan
now that's a name I've not heard in a
long time for this list we'll be looking
at this Jedi Master's finest moments in
Star Wars across a variety of media
prior to a series on Disney plus this is
the video you're looking for you want to

number 10 fighting Jango Fett Star Wars
Episode 2 attack of the Clones from the
moment Obi-Wan arrives on kamino and
meets the bounty hunter called Jango
Fett things get pretty tense thank you
for your time Django
always a pleasure to meet at Jedi
we know it's gonna go down pretty soon
and we aren't the least bit disappointed
when it finally does
[Music]
the two squaring off on a landing pad in
some particularly Stormy Weather Django
gives Obi-Wan all that he can handle
with a plethora of unique gadgets to say
nothing of a young Boba gunning from
their ship however Obi-Wan's Ingenuity
and quick thinking keep him in the fight
time and time again
[Music]
while he's unable to apprehend Django
Obi-Wan does manage to plant a homing
beacon on his ship which proves crucial
in tracking the separatist movement to
Geonosis
number nine handling scum and villainy
Star Wars Episode 4 A New Hope in the
first film Obi-Wan has some Choice words
for the city of moss Eisley Moss Iceland
Spaceport you will never find the more
wretched Hive of scum and villain so
when he and Luke enter the Cantina we
know to be on our toes true to its
reputation Luke is quickly accosted
unprovoked by a couple of riffraff
looking to start trouble he doesn't like
you I'm sorry
I don't like you either you just watch
yourself though a farm boy and Old Ben
Kenobi may not look too intimidating one
learns not to judge a book by its cover
the hard way when the latter swiftly
severs his Blaster arm with the
lightsaber
[Applause]
though the rest of the Cantina shrugs
off the dispute in a humorous beat the
moment is important as it shows us
through Luke's eyes what a Jedi in
action looks like up close
[Music]
yes
[Music]
number eight death of Duchess sateen
Star Wars the Clone Wars though later
depictions of the Obi-Wan character
portray him as something of a solitary
figure the Clone Wars TV series made him
even more well-rounded by introducing a
love interest Obi-Wan it looks like I
may never see you again I don't know
quite how to say this but I've loved you
from the moment you came to my Aid all
those years ago the ruler of Mandalore
Duchess sateen cries has a heartfelt but
Bittersweet relationship with the Jedi
as their diverging paths often keep them
apart however their love for one another
persists so it becomes all the more
tragic when she's fatally wounded by a
usurping mall I never planned on killing
you but I will make you share my pain
thank you
considering Obi-Wan's already
complicated history with the Sith Lord
everything about this scene adds up to
one of the greatest tragedies in all of
Star Wars solidified with sateen's final
words to her old flame remember my dear
there will be one
ways
I always will
[Music]
number seven explaining the force Star
Wars Episode 4 A New Hope I was once a
Jedi Knight the same as your father
I wish I'd known him he was the best
stop hidered in the galaxy
and a cunning Warrior though perhaps not
the most fun Exposition scenes are
crucial to understanding backstory and
how a world operates and in lesser hands
this exchange could have turned
audiences off but thanks to Alec
Guinness's Stellar performance the Star
Wars lore becomes as mystifying as it
remains today
father's lightsaber
this is the weapon of a Jedi Knight
not as clumsy or random as a blaster
An Elegant weapon
for the more civilized day
covering everything from the nature of
the force to giving us our first Glimpse
at a lightsaber to the somewhat true
history of Anakin Skywalker Obi-Wan sets
up everything we need to know for the
adventure ahead the force
the force as well gives the Jedi his
power
it's an energy field created by all
living things it surrounds us and
penetrates us it binds the Galaxy
together
the message from Princess Leia Obi-Wan
hammers home the call to action for our
young hero all in all we still get
chills watching this scene I need your
help Luke she needs your help I'm
getting too old for this sort of thing
number six taking down General Grievous
Star Wars episode 3 Revenge of the Sith
as proficient at Jedi Knight as Obi-Wan
is going up against a forearm cyborg
with as many lightsabers almost seems
unfair until we remember who we're
dealing with of course
[Music]
oh I don't think so who
after Kenobi and the Republic army track
Grievous forces to utapau the Jedi
confronts the military leader and
manages to relieve him of two of his
arms and all of his lightsabers once a
battle breaks out however Grievous
attempts to escape prompting Obi-Wan to
give Chase
foreign
can reach his ship Obi-Wan truly exposes
the Cyborg's remaining biological
components just when it seems he's down
for the count Obi-Wan ends the general
once and for all with some well-placed
Blaster shots
number five killing Maul Star Wars
Rebels and now the only one who has
gained anything from all of this is me
as previously mentioned and with more
Dimensions still Obi-Wan has every
reason to kill Maul however at this
point in his journey the Jedi Master has
wisen beyond the point of grudges and
retribution that said Destiny finds him
all the same as a young Ezra Bridger
leads a battered Maul to his campsite oh
you have a purpose here perhaps you are
protecting something
no
protecting someone after the two do some
catching up Maul remains resolved to
finally get his revenge their duel is
brief however as Obi-Wan wastes no time
finishing Maul once and for all
[Music]
foreign
Obi-Wan Comforts his old foe during his
final moments promising him that change
is just over the horizon tell me
hey she's the chosen one
he is
[Music]
he will avenge Us number four from a
certain point of view Star Wars Episode
6 Return of the Jedi you can't go on
alone
Yoda will always be with you
will be one
whether you believe this series of
Revelations was always planned or
Obi-Wan outright lied to Luke about
Anakin it makes for a death storytelling
all the same he ceased to be Anakin
Skywalker and became Darth Vader when
that happened the good man who was your
father was destroyed
so what I told you was true
from a certain point of view after the
death of Yoda Luke's original Mentor
reappears to him as a force ghost to
impart some final pieces of wisdom going
into the greatest battle of his life
Obi-Wan gets a lot of iconic lines over
the course of his history but his
justification for lying to Luke remains
one of his best as he further emboldens
Luke to fulfill his Destiny I can't do
it then
you cannot Escape your destiny you must
face Darth Vader again though it's not
as Monumental a Twist as Luke's
parentage the revelation of Leia being
his sister ends the scene on another
memorable note Leia
Leia is my sister your inside serves you
well
bury your feelings deep down Luke
they do you credit
but they couldn't be made to serve the
emperor number three avenging Qui-Gon
Jinn Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom
Menace
[Music]
[Applause]
this is the moment that sparked
Obi-Wan's rivalry with Darth Maul for
years to come though we knew this
prequel movie would be setting up the
original Jedi Masters journey and thus
his own Master Qui-Gon Jinn likely
wouldn't make it that didn't make it any
less heartbreaking when Maul delivered
the finishing blow
foreign
after helplessly watching Maul fatally
wound Qui-Gon Obi-Wan continues what's
already been a tremendous lightsaber
duel with an added layer of emotion
literally hanging for dear life
Obi-Wan's Ava to catch them all off
guard and deliver a finishing blow of
his own
[Music]
no Maul would later be salvaged this is
still a tragic yet cathartic moment in
Jedi history
he is the chosen one
he
will bring balance
train him
number two more powerful than you can
possibly imagine Star Wars Episode 4 A
New Hope I've been waiting for you
we meet again at last
a circle is now complete when I left you
I was about to learn now I am the master
only a master of evil God
[Music]
we fell in love with Obi-Wan over the
course of his first appearance in the
original movie which makes his final
confrontation with his former Padawan so
difficult to watch you can't win
strike me down I shall become more
powerful than you can possibly imagine
though visual effects and lightsaber
fights have come a long way since 1977.
this tool against Darth Vader remains
just as thrilling decades later due to
its stakes and emotional resonance
essentially stalling for time so our
heroes can escape Obi-Wan holds off
Vader while portending what's to come
foreign
S have a clear getaway path Obi-Wan
resigns himself allowing Vader to strike
him down before becoming one with the
force
[Music]
it's a sorrowful moment but one that
solidifies Obi-Wan's status as a true
hero before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions go to
Dagobah Star Wars episode 5 The Empire
Strikes Back even after death Obi-Wan
can still lead his Padawan then
you will go to the dagobar system
[Music]
there you will learn from Yoda
a Jedi master who instructed me not the
droids you're looking for Star Wars
Episode 4 a new hope we never get tired
of the Jedi mind trick these aren't the
droids you're looking for
Droid
you can go about his business
go about your business Move Along
delivering Luke Star Wars episode 3
Revenge of the Sith the end of the
prequel trilogy brings the original Saga

number one dueling Anakin Skywalker Star
Wars episode 3 Revenge of the Sith I
will do what I must
you will try
though his duel with Vader aboard the
Death Star May remain his most iconic
Obi-Wan's confronting of the nascent
Sith on the fiery Planet Mustafar is the
most thrilling and emotionally charged
unfortunately Obi-Wan is unable to make
Anakin see reason and resolves himself
to put an end to his former Padawan
their ensuing battle is exhilarating
featuring some of the best stunt work
and lightsaber choreography of the
entire Saga
though we don't want either character to
be hurt Obi-Wan is ultimately forced to
end things in a brutal manner it's over
Anakin I have The High Ground
power
don't try it
foreign
lays writhing and eventually burning on
the ground Obi-Wan's heartbroken cries
remain haunting thanks in no small part
to Ewan McGregor's impassioned portrayal
of the character
you were the chosen one
it was said that you would destroy this
and not join them
bring balance to the force not leave it
in darkness
