Obi Wan Kenobi Quotes

“This is Obi-Wan Kenobi:
A phenomenal pilot who doesn’t like to fly. A devastating warrior who’d rather not fight. A negotiator without peer who frankly prefers to sit alone in a quiet cave and meditate.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“Anakin.” Obi-Wan’s voice had gone soft, and his hand was warm on Anakin’s arm. “There is no other Jedi I would rather have at my side right now. No other man.”

Anakin turned, and found within Obi-Wan’s eyes a depth of feeling he had only rarely glimpsed in all their years together; and the pure uncomplicated love that rose up within him then felt like a promise from the Force itself.

“I… I wouldn’t have it any other way, Master.”

“I believe,” his onetime Master said with a gently humorous look of astonishment at the words coming out of his mouth, “that you should get used to calling me Obi-Wan.”
― Matthew Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“Contemplation of death brought only one slight sting of regret, and more than a bit of puzzlement. Until this very moment, he had never realized he’d always expected, for no discernible reason— That when he died, Anakin would be with him.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“I am called a great swordsman because I invented a lethal style; but who is greater, the creator of a killing form—or the master of the classic form?"

"I'm very flattered that you would consider me a master but really—"

"Not a master. The master.”
― Matthew Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“They are closer than friends. Closer than brothers. Though Obi-Wan is sixteen standard years Anakin's elder, they have become men together. Neither can imagine life without the other. The war has forged their two lives into one.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“People are more than their worst act. And they are also more than the worst thing ever done to them.”
― Claudia Gray, Master and Apprentice

“Until the possible becomes actual, it is only a distraction. Be mindful of what is, not what might be.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“...you must understand that not even the Jedi know all there is to be known about the Force; no mortal mind can. We speak of the will of the Force as someone ignorant of gravity might say it is the will of a river to flow to the ocean; it is a metaphor that describes our ignorance. The simple truth - if any truth is ever simple - is that we do not truly know what the will of the Force may be. We can never know. It is so far beyond our limited understanding that we can only surrender to its mystery.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“Everything casts two shadows.

The suns had determined this at the dawn of creation. Brothers, they were, until the younger sun showed his true face to the tribe. It was a sin. The elder sun attempted to kill his brother, as was only proper.

But he failed.

Burning, bleeding, the younger sun pursued his sibling across the sky. The wily old star fled for the hills and safety, but it was his fate never to rest again. For the younger brother had only exposed his face. The elder had exposed his failure.”
― John Jackson Miller, Kenobi

“Every person Obi-Wan ever truly loved---Anakin, Satine, Padmé, and Qui-Gon himself---came to a terrible end. Three of them died before his eyes; the other fell to a fate so bleak that death would've been a gift.”
― Claudia Gray, Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View

“Bail Organa sent Leia herself to summon me. When I saw her---saw Padmé in her so strongly, and even a little of Anakin, too---I knew my exile was nearly at an end.”
― Claudia Gray, Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View

“I may be a country girl who's never been offplanet, but even I'm aware that when a Jedi walks up to you and says, "Here, have a baby," it's not going to end well.”
― Meg Cabot, Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View

“Skill is the child of patience.”
― Charles Soule, Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin

“Very bad joke,” Obi-Wan muttered. “D’you know, there are times when you and Bail Organa are uncannily alike.”

Anakin kept a straight face, just. “Thank you.”

“That wasn’t a compliment,” growled Obi-Wan,”
― Karen Miller, Stealth

“I am stronger as part of the Jedi Order than I could ever be alone.”
― Charles Soule, Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin

“Seems Commander 110 finally came to his senses too, because then he says: "We don't need to see his identification."
"Bless!" I almost yelled, but I kept it contained.
"These are not the droids you're looking for," Old Guy says.
And he was right. He was so right. It was like, of course they're not!
110 agreed and then Old Guy says he can go about his business, and I'm like Yes! Yes, Old Guy! Say that! And 110 agrees again! Word for word in fact!
"Move along," this remarkable little geezer says.
Commander 110 nods. "Move along." And then, because he's 110 and he can't help himself, he repeats it for good measure.”
― Daniel José Older, Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View

“A slight, wistful smile crept over his face. 'If I listen hard enough, I can almost hear Qui-Gon reminding me that until the possible becomes actual, it is only a distraction.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“Annileen pointed at Ben with mock sternness. “And if you keep fighting serendipity, Master Kenobi, it’s going to fight back.”
― John Jackson Miller, Kenobi

“When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the Master.”
“Only a master of evil, Darth.”
― Michael Reaves and Steve Perry

“What's more--your foresight wise they could not twart:
Negotiations were, indeed, quite short.”
― Ian Doescher, William Shakespeare's The Phantom of Menace

“All this had happened since Ben's arrival from... where? She still didn't know. Unbelievable.”
― John Jackson Miller

“Obi-Wan sprang forward, his lightsaber flashing. They moved in the same rhythm, ready to cover each other, knowing when the other would go on the offense. It was a flow Qui-Gon remembered, when he knew what his apprentice would do before Obi-Wan did it. The Force surged around them, gathering so that it felt like heat and light, making every move easy.”
― Jude Watson, Legacy of the Jedi

“Qui-Gon waited at the landing platform with Obi-Wan. He remembered arriving on this planet while worrying about what was to come with his apprentice. It was true that he missed that pure trust, that lack of shadows between them. He had seen the flaws in Obi-Wan, and the flaws in himself. He had seen where their flaws could rub up against each other and create fissures in their relations, cracking them open like a groundquake could split the very core of a planet.

Yet there was something to be gained from that, Qui-Gon thought. Now their relationship could truly begin, for they had seen the worst of it and they had both decided that what they wanted, the most important thing, was to go on.”
― Jude Watson, Legacy of the Jedi

“There is no emotion - there is peace.
There is no ignorance - there is knowledge.
There is no passion - there is serenity.
There is no chaos - there is harmony.

Whoever wrote the Jedi Code, thought Qui-Gon Jinn, never had to deal with the Hutts.”
― Claudia Gray, Master and Apprentice

“Kenobi was luminous, a transparent being, a window onto a sunlit meadow of the Force.

Skywalker was a storm cloud, flickering with dangerous lightning, building the rotation that threatens a tornado.”

“Being a Jedi is not just about power, or lightsabers, or even skill with the Force. It is about connection. Being part of something bigger. I am stronger as part of the Jedi Order than I could ever be alone.”
― Charles Soule , Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin

“Obi-Wan wasn’t even fighting. He was only a vessel, emptied of self. The Force, shaped by his skill and guided by his clarity of mind, fought through him.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Revenge of the Sith[SW REVENGE OF THE SITH M/TV][Mass Market Paperback]

“He remembered Obi-Wan telling him about some poet he’d once read—he couldn’t remember the name, or the exact quote, but it was something about how there is no greater misery than to remember, with bitter regret, a day when you were happy…
How had everything gone so fast from so right to so wrong?
He couldn’t even imagine.”
