Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of Star Wars' most important characters, and he's known for his memorable quotes. Largely in part due to his knack for sharing wisdom as well as wise cracks, Obi-Wan’s popularity began with Alec Guinness’s portrayal of the character in A New Hope back in 1977. When Ewan McGreggor picked up the mantle in 1999, reprising the role as a young Padawan for Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, the character saw a new wave of appreciation.
Obi-Wan was introduced as the wise old Jedi Master who introduces Luke Skywalker to the Force and his heritage as a Jedi Knight after years of living in hiding on Tatooine. The Star Wars prequels and shows like Star Wars: The Clone Wars elaborate on his younger years, before the Republic fell, and he enjoyed a calmer and more hopeful life. Every time of Obi-Wan’s life is full of memorable quotes, both wise and witty, and here are some of his best.
