Everyone is familiar with Obi - Wan’s"Hello there"inStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithwhen he drops from the ceiling to fight General Grievous on Utapau , but this is just one example of many regarding his proclivity for a bit of sassing . Whether portrayed by Ewan McGregor in the prequel trilogy and theObi - Wan Kenobishow , Sir Alec Guinness in the original trilogy , or voiced by James Arnold Taylor in theStar warfare : The Clone Warsshow , Obi - Wan ’s comedic quips are a basic of the characterforevery Obi - Wan Kenobi doer . These 20 , though , are his best .
What ’s the best way to view Star Wars ? Here ’s everything you need to know to check in release or timeline edict , and how to include the TV shows .
20"Did I Say Anything? I Didn’t Say Anything!"
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
The other scene ofRevenge of the Sith , before Anakin ’s act to Darth Vader , are some of the best in price of the relationship between Anakin and Obi - Wan . Eventually , this was expanded inThe Clone Warsshow , which come to see that family relationship in much greater detail and for a much long geological period of metre , but this moving-picture show was the first to really demonstrate that . Part of the aim of the first scenes inRevenge of the Sithseems to be establishing how close they had become , spend a penny his downfall all the more abominable .
Thus , most of Obi - Wan ’s good mo of wittiness and satire arrive whenever Anakin is imply , begin with this one . When R2 - D2 struggle to get the turbolift incite the way Obi - Wan and Anakin call for him to inRevenge of the Sith , Anakin desire Obi - Wan not to make any " liberal wire jokes . " Obi - Wan responds with this shocked and almost appall serial publication of justificative retorts , and his spokesperson fissure only makes the moment even funnier . uproariously , this also implies that Obi - Wan has made such jokes about R2 before .
19"Why Do I Sense We’ve Picked Up Another Pathetic Life Form?"
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
InStar Wars : Episode I - The Phantom Menace , Obi - Wan was still an apprentice to Jedi Master Qui - Gon Jinn , and , while he was still more of a rule follower than Anakin ( or Qui - Gon ) , his youth showed through in his posture . Among the many sarcastic comment he made in the movie was"Why do I feel we ’ve picked up another hapless biography form"in reference to both Jar Jar Binks and Anakin . This stock is particularly funny in luminosity of all that follows in the relationship between Anakin and Obi - Wan and also broach the brotherly human relationship the two had in the prequels .
18"How Did This Happen? We’re Smarter Than This."
After vote out Count Dooku ( with Anakin killing him ) , Anakin , Obi - Wan , and Chancellor Palpatine attempt to escape from the ship that contain both Dooku and General Grievous , with Anakin carrying Obi - Wan unconscious on his back . In their haste , though , they seem to have neglected a bit of sentience , as they get trapped in a shield . Obi - Wan , freshly awake and trouble , says,“Wait a minute , how did this happen ? We ’re smart than this . “Anakin ’s as funny , juiceless response,“Apparently not,“solidifies the niggardliness they ’ve explicate .
17"I Don’t Mind Flying, But What You’re Doing Is Suicide.”
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
WhileRevenge of the Sithwas meant to showcase how brutal Anakin ’s turn to the dark side was for Obi - Wan , who had truly acquire to get laid him , Star Wars : Episode II - Attack of the Cloneswas think of to demonstrate how much Anakin ’s tycoon and self-importance had grown since he was last seen as a sweet footling son inThe Phantom Menace . Having learn on the role of Jedi Master , Obi - Wan had essentially taken Qui - Gon ’s office . Between the first and 2d movies , he transitions from a sarcastic apprentice to a cranky original , but he retained his sarcasm still .
The banter inRevenge of the Sithhas a decipherable undertone of warmth , but the remarks between Anakin and Obi - Wan inAttack of the Clonesseem a bit more setaceous . This is partially because Anakin is still an apprentice ; Obi - Wan is try on , as his teacher , to mildew and mentor him . Alongside that , though , is the sense that Obi - Wan is essentially invoke a teenager . His irritation at Anakin ’s fly ( which he in general dislike throughoutStar Warsdespite insisting the opposite ) is both a representation of that and a great example of his at times snarky mental attitude .
16"At Least You’re A Master At Getting Caught.”
The Clone WarsSeason 1, Episode 11 “Dooku Captured”
WhileAttack of the ClonesandRevenge of the Sithare both very funny , neither can really compete pound for pound withThe Clone Warsshow , and not only because it get under one’s skin to cover a lot more land over seven seasons than either motion-picture show could . The Clone Warsshow took indecorum with the characters that were too risky for the movies , and it led to some of the best lines for each character reference . Obi - Wan and Anakin are sure as shooting no exception .
Whereas Obi - Wan seems wary of Anakin ’s anger over not yet being grantedthe rank and file of Jedi MasterinRevenge of the Sith , he take it as an chance to poke play at him inThe Clone Wars . The line"at least you ’re a master at getting caught"also service to tease Anakin for his missteps throughout the Clone Wars , which were significant and somewhat frequent . It also bear witness Obi - Wan ’s comedic wit , which he employs at Anakin ’s expense , apparently as often as possible .
Star war : The Clone Wars features an all - asterisk live - action cast , bringing iconic characters like Anakin Skywalker and Palpatine to life .
15"I Hate It When He Does That.”
As yet another example of the moral force between Obi - Wan and Anakin,“I detest it when he does that"comes on the heels of Anakin jumping out of a speeder and drop hundreds of feet through the air to catch the someone who attemptedto assassinate Padmé . This is in particular mirthful because it imply that Anakin does this often , which is shocking pay how impulsive and reckless it is ( although , that ’s Anakin ) . It ’s also Obi - Wan just grumbling to himself , another model of how speedily he proceed into the role of a much sometime - seeming , petulant master .
14"For A Drink.”
Obi - Wan has always been at his salutary in aStar Warsbar , and his sass when he and Anakin enter one inAttack of the Clonesimmediately follow Anakin leap out of a speeder is the sodding example . After telling Anakin to go and find the assassin in the crowded bar , Obi - Wan sprain to go . When Anakin asks where he ’s run , Obi - Wan simply says,“For a drink"and then take the air forth . At first , it seems like a sarcastic joke , but then Obi - Wan really does go for a drink while Anakin searches , which makes it all the funnier .
13"You Want To Go Home And Rethink Your Life.”
This is perhaps the funniest example of a Jedi mind deception in all ofStar state of war . Not only is it a pernicious , scathing judgment , but it also intensify so quickly from Obi - Wan declining a drug to , presumably , originate a bit of an experiential crisis for this stranger . The casualness with which he does this is also classically Obi - Wan and a perfect example of his juiceless sensation of humor .
12"Spring The Trap.”
While not directly a trick in the way that other illustration on this tilt are,“Spring the trap"exemplifies the quick , positive quips Obi - Wan makes throughoutStar Wars . After room the ship where both Count Dooku and General Grievous wait them inRevenge of the Sith , Anakin tell Obi - Wan he senses Count Dooku . Obi - Wan responds"I sense a ambush . “When Anakin ask what their next move should be , Obi - Wan merely says"Spring the trap"with a suggestion of a smile . This again demonstrates the family relationship between Anakin and Obi - Wan , in that the two have become so synchronized .
11"I Hope You At Least Told Padmé I Said Hello.”
The Clone WarsSeason 7, Episode 2 “A Distant Echo”
One of the most shocking inclusion body on this list follow from The Clone Wars season 7 . Obi - Wan was hold off rather impatiently for Anakin , who somehow believe he was getting away with a secret call to Padmé . However , when Anakin cash in one’s chips the room he was in , Obi - Wan squall to him,“I trust you at least tell Padmé I said hello ! "
This was a especially jarring moment becauseObi - Wan ’s awareness that Anakin and Padmé were in a family relationship go mostly unspokenin bothAttack of the ClonesandRevenge of the Sith . Until the point that Obi - Wan asks Padmé if Anakin is the father of her tike once he ’s already become Darth Vader , Obi - Wan had never like a shot confronted Anakin about his Padmé romanceor his break of the Jedi code . While surely a funny comeback , the remark signalise something much more subtle forming beneath the surface .
