In the galactic capital, the Jedi had become wary of Palpatine. Anakin carried an unconscious Obi-Wan on his back, and the three returned to Coruscant. At the urging of Chancellor Palpatine, the young Jedi beheaded the Sith Lord. While Dooku was able to defeat Obi-Wan, nearly killing him, he could not best Anakin. They battled their way to Grievous’ ship, and gained entrance to the control tower where they once again dueled Count Dooku. Both Jedi suffered injuries in their failure to stop the Separatist leader.Īfter the Supreme Chancellor was kidnapped by General Grievous, leader of the droid army, Obi-Wan and Anakin led a daring rescue mission. He and Anakin then engaged Count Dooku, who had turned to the dark side. He survived, killing a vicious acklay, and alongside other Jedi and the new clone army, fought off battle droids as the Clone War erupted around him.
While reporting back to the Jedi, Obi-Wan was ambushed, taken prisoner, and sentenced to die in the Geonosis arena. Obi-Wan tracked Fett to Geonosis, where he found Separatist forces had gathered under the leadership of former Jedi Count Dooku. Looking to secure Jango, Kenobi battled Fett in the planet’s never-ending rain, with the bounty hunter escaping in his starship. On Kamino he discovered that a massive clone army had been created for the Republic - in the name of a Jedi who had been dead for nearly 10 years - and the genetic blueprint was bounty hunter Jango Fett. Obi-Wan began an investigation, finding that the dart was from the planet Kamino - a world which had been mysteriously erased from the Jedi Archives. The Jedi carried the wounded bounty hunter out into the street, where Wesell was mysteriously killed by a poison dart shot from above. Following her into one of Coruscant’s seedy bars, Obi-Wan waited until Wesell approached him and severed her hand with a surprise cut from his lightsaber. After a second attempt, Obi-Wan and Anakin pursued her attacker, a clawdite bounty hunter named Zam Wesell. And so it was: the Council granted Obi-Wan knighthood, and Anakin was named his Padawan.Īs Obi-Wan Kenobi continued to train Anakin Skywalker, the two were assigned as security for their old friend, Senator Padmé Amidala, after an assassination attempt on her life. Kenobi ran to Qui-Gon, who with his dying wish asked Obi-Wan to train Anakin as a Jedi. Maul toyed with him, kicking Obi-Wan’s lightsaber into the abyss, but could not anticipate the Jedi’s bold move: he somersaulted over Maul, drew Qui-Gon’s Jedi weapon to his hand, and cut the Sith Lord in two. Obi-Wan continued the fight, but a Force push left him dangling above a deep shaft. The two Jedi dueled Maul in a fast, furious battle, which saw Qui-Gon fatally wounded. Little did they know that the dark menace from Tatooine, in truth a Sith named Darth Maul, was awaiting their arrival. In a surprise move, Queen Amidala decided to go back to Naboo to retake the planet, with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon escorting her. Anakin and Obi-Wan met for the first time after a near-deadly attack by a mysterious dark warrior, and the group headed home to Coruscant. Qui-Gon and Padmé crossed paths with a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker who was unusually strong with the Force, helping the stranded heroes pay for starship parts by winning a Podrace. There, they finally connected with Queen Padmé Amidala of the Naboo, fled the planet, and landed on Tatooine. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon survived the trap, however, and fled to the planet’s surface. The two were dispatched to settle a dispute between the Trade Federation and the planet Naboo, but negotiations never took place - the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, orchestrating the Trade Federation’s blockade of the planet, ordered the Jedi killed. As a Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi was the headstrong apprentice to Qui-Gon Jinn.
