I think Qui-Gon was the best “Jedi” of the Jedi. He follows the force and trusts his instincts, even if the council disagrees with him. And while obi-wan is set on following the council and rules, he truly cares about protecting people rather than focusing on self preservation like many of the other Jedi do. I think Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan would’ve made great leaders of the Jedi
Sadly, the things that would make them great leader are the same that prevent them to become one.
Dooku too, the entire lineage had the best philosophy
Obi-Wan was the hero that survived. But it is definitely because of Dooku and Qui-gon's teachings that made Obi-Wan who he was.
Also obi-wan : Trolls his way through the clone wars
Obi followed the Jedi code not the council qui gon followed the will of the force bit obi did far more good through this lifetime and was everything a Jedi should strive to be qui gon had a good aspect but just because that’s the way of the old Jedi doesn’t mean that’s what they should still be in the era of 1-6 there was no peace they needed peace keepers but also protectors of the people obi wan is the perfect example of that
Referring to Ki-Adi-Mundi as “potato” is gold 😂😂😂
I agree 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Golden potatoes = Ki-Adi Mundi
he's a jacket potato (twice baked for US audiance)
Anakin Skywalker, Damaged Puppy. I love it.
Ayeee
Agree I always loved Kenobi. He certainly had a way about him. Besides he did train two Skywalkers that really needed patience.
I think what makes Kenobi so great was that scene where’s he defeats darth maul. The man who killed his master and the love of his life. He held him til maul dies. He doesn’t hate him, he lets him die in peace. Most people would let their angry get the best of them like Anakin. But not him. Truly one of the best characters
The failure of protecting his previous loves ones, is what drove him further, failure is the greatest teacher.
Satine was actually the one that gave Obi the alias of "Ben" during their time hiding out from bounty hunters, because apparently thats a Mandalorian name.
I find it endearing that someone as strict as kenobi, would embrace the name Ben from his forbidden love of sorts
@@medical-cyanide1526 Almost as though he spent his time pondering the life he could have had if he left the order.
@@Im-Not-a-Dog he admitted such, and it makes me feel for him all that much more
Where is that mentioned?
I doubt Anakin will stop Obi-wan because he will understand him. After all, he too has a secret relationship with Padme Amidala for like three years.
Yeah what's up with Yoda continually sending h@rny teenage b@ys to protect h@rny teenage g!rls? Seems really, really short sighted.
I’m going to say this now, but Obi Wan is possibly one of the most powerful Jedi in history. The dude fought multiple Sith in an age where the quality of the Sith was at their absolute peak. Maul was a crazy, talented duelist and Kenobi beat him multiple times. He dueled and survived Dooku. Dooku might be underrated as a Sith, but understand that in a profession where most people die young, the ones who lives to see an old age are possibly the most dangerous. The Clone wars may have portrayed Grievous as a coward, but Gendy Tarkovsky’s Clone wars showed Grevious as a Jedi slayer. One who could duel multiple masters at once, and Kenobi beat him 1 on 1. Anakin was probably at his peak by the time of the Revenge of the Sith. We are never shown the full extent of the battle at the Jedi temple, but no doubt Anakin must have faced off a few dozen Jedi masters left defending the temple, and possible hundreds of knights. Obi wan faced him head on, despite him possibly fighting through his own trauma and feelings of betrayal and regret. Had Obi wan been there at the arrest of Palpatine with Mace Windu, there would have been no Empire. I stand by that. Even at his old age, he stood toe to toe against Vader, stalling him in time for Luke and the others to get away. With out Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Star Wars university would be in a much darker place.
Well said
Exactly people always says things with no proof to back it up like “anakin was way more powerful than obi wan but he was lucky “ or when people say he wasn’t that good of a fighter he just had a good defense he was one of the jedi’s best fighters ever
That’s why palps waited until he was on the other side of the galaxy to make his final play for anakin
I always try to follow Obi-Wan's wise advice to
"choose life Renton".
And he definitely was able to solve the issue of Begbie in a non confrontational way - by using his opponents flaws (open arrest warrants) against him.
I wouldn't say he'd be a great leader for the Jedi, but he was certainly one of, if not the best, Knight in Jedi History.
He had no desire to lead other than by example. He was noble, humble, honest, and brave...indeed a shining example of knighthood, Jedi or otherwise...
Yeah! Obi-Wan Kenobi is my favorite character for sure . Talk about a selfless person. His whole life was dedicated to other people (mostly the Skywalkers) and to the original Jedi order values. His word was his bond . Great video !
So sad how the Jedi lost sight before the clone wars.
Making my day better w. Some star wars content
What can i say man he is a man of perfection
6 he is played by Ewan Mcgregor
This
But the most important of all: he had the high ground
Absolutely true! Obi wan is like the perfect image of a Jedi, because he is no machine following a Code but a human following the spirit of being a Jedi.
Gotta say ive always likes Qui-Gon more, he just seems more grounded and wise not completly bound by the rules/ethics of the Jedi Order, i think if he had lived he would have played a major role in the Clone Wars, properly either arrested or killed Palpatine and thus avoided the whole empire goes cray-cray
Palpatine would have beaten him easily. The power and skill difference between Maul and Palpatine is incredible. That said, you are right about Qui-Gon preventing the rise of the Empire if he survived. A living Qui-Gon would have trained Anakin and Anakin needed a strong, caring father figure to guide him not a big brother like Obi-Wan. With Qui-Gon, Anakin never falls to the Dark Side, he never betrays the Jedi, and Order 66 either never happens or fails to tale out the biggest threats. So instead of Yoda going to take down Palpatine alone after 66, he goes with Obi-Wan and possibly other surviving Jedi, including possibly Anakin himself. Palps is powerful and beyond skilled as I said, but not even he could face down Yoda and Obi-Wan together, not when Yoda alone fought him to a draw.
A negative; he did fail spectacularly at raising his Padawan.
But then so did Yoda.
And they both had the same coping strategy, go away into isolation and sulk.
Except obi wan wasn't sulking he devoted his life to protecting Luke Yoda sulked
@@macattack5863 and got high on swamp fungus and ketamine probably
Well with obi every single deciding factor was in the siths favor I genuine Heidi d if there was no palpatine or he wasn’t chancellor or something anakin never turns or if they didn’t separate during revenge of the sith
You can't always blame the teacher for the failings if their student.
Early to GenTech, let’s get this day started right!
Obi-Wan couldve been Grand Master if only Anakin actually listened to Obi-Wan to not kill Dooku, They wouldve got all of the plans of the Sith from Dooku because he got betrayed. Palpatine told Anakin to kill Dooku breaking theyre Sith relationship and from there they couldve got Palpatines plans from Dooku while Palpatine rambles "Do It" in the back ground to Anakin😂
But all of this couldve been prevented if only Qui Gon just went by the Jedi way during the Duel on Naboo, If Qui-Gon was calm and collected he couldve pushed Maul with Kenobi and attacked until they found out who the Master of Maul was and they wouldve saved the whole Jedi Order, Then eventually Gui-Gon would be a Force Ghost which is crazy that he is not. If that happened Star Wars wouldnt be what we know now of it.
While I don't think Qui Gon is the key to everything, that is an interesting take. I never noticed that Qui Gon might not have been very Jedi like in the way he fought.
It feels weird been this early
2:40 I do kinda feel like he should have at least asked Anakin or something though. Mounting a one-man rescue mission against a former Sith Lord and crime syndicates and terrorists is brave but a little foolish. And yes I know following a fool would be more foolish, but a) Anakin is totally the kind of idiot who would and we love him for it and b) a two-man rescue mission is slightly less crazy. I just think it might have ended better, maybe he would have been successful. And I have to wonder if there was some ego there in him thinking "I can do this myself, I don't need help" ... or maybe I'm projecing and his motives really were as selfless as you make them out to be, which is honestly more in character, so I'll go with your explanation 😁
Either way this video just affirms my eternal adoration of Obi-Wan Kenobi lol
I understand your point, but if I would have to guess, knowing how upright he is, it's most likely that he went there solo not because of pride, like: I can do this alone, or i don't need help, it may have being because he knew that what he was about to do was not only dangerous, but also risky, specially after he got refused by the council, so most likely, his thoughts were: I really wish I can ask for help, but if I get others involved, they may either get arrested, expelled from the order or killed, so I have to do this on my own.
@@andyquinn3996 yeah agreed
Powerful he is. Deeply powerul.
Getting to know Obi-wan over the course of the Prequels and the Clone Wars really made me appreciate him as a character. Which only makes the fact I know how he dies in the end more tragic.
At least his death was heroically tragic...he died with honor, using strategy, and with a wry smile...The prequels and the Clone Wars showed us why his death was so perfect.
He may not be the best duelist but he killed almost all of sidious apprentices I know obi won must have really pissed sidious off
He killed Maul. Anakin killed Dooku and Vader was killed by Palpatine. What other apprentices are there?
I'd disagree about that him not being a great duelist. Supposedly he was *the* master of form 3. His connection the to force wasn't the strongest, he just made it *work* harder than hell. He was a grinder. And I always thought that part of the reason he was so good was because he sparred regularly with the chosen one.
I always thought it was his skill with a lightsabre that made him such a fearsome combatant.
I love Obi-Wan Kenobi so much he is my favorite jedi. And this video made me love him even more he is just so cool. And also Hello There. Sorry couldn't resist.
I'm reading the Legends book Kenobi and it's fantastic so far. I only hope the new series is as good, though I have my doubts
Yes same here! I love the conflict of Obi-Wan trying to help people without exposing himself as a Jedi.
There's a lot of existing backstory to work with and it's Filloni and Favreau doing it, so it should be good. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for the resume.
@Generation Tech Awesome awesome video! My sentiments of Obi Wan have been perfectly echoed!
Hello there
5 Best Jedi: Obi Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Plo Koon, Luke Skywalker (before the Last Jedi.) , and my favorite...... the baby Gogurt.
"Dam" Alan you are Savage!
Hello There!
Generrrrrral Kenobi!
Keep up the good work
I agree with you mostly about the jedi, other things not always. Now this video was dead on. Well done very well done video. Thank you
Thanks for this review. Kenobi is one of the best Jedi. Glad he is getting a TV series of his own.
Fire video
Can we trust Imperials like this guy? About jedi?
He going to turn the whole order into troll hello there order
Him and plo are my favorite
Cool background
I'm curious, what are your thoughts on Kit Fisto?
Can you do more of these episodes on perfect jedi
plo koon and kit fisto were great jedi also
Obi wan was the greatest Jedi ever .
0:22 😏from a certain point of view… 😏
Obi-WAN’s greatest flaw was raising Anakin like a brother instead of a father; which what Anakin needed.
But he and Anakin were closer in age like brothers than father and son. He may have failed Anakin, but he "raised" Luke (because of difference in age) correctly.
Maybe Gui-Gon was mistaken. Kenobi was the chosen one.
7:47
That's why I pretend the sequel trilogy never happened! 😁
Qui Gon also
For a thousand generations, the Jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the old republic.
Gui-Gon Jinn (and his damn midi-chlorians) was wrong. The Chosen One was actually Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Whills needed the best Jedi to teach the One who would bring balance to the Force. Ben taught the son of Skywalker actually the ways of the Force. (Yoda taught him the mechanics of the Force, but Kenobi taught him the invaluable Jedi POV!!)
Hello There!
Please make a video where the galactic republic with the jedi attack earth
Do they do Shorts?
Number one reason. He survived.
Can you please continue the sepratist alliance vs earth series please
The emperor still came back in legends...but he was severely weakened and Luke gave him his final death after having years to train..anakin still brought balance by taking out or weakening both sides
At the end of day even if Palpatine or the Sith came back they wouldn’t be at same height of power as Bane rule of two Sith which accumulated power over a thousand years at the end of the prequels that’s why I prefer legends story on how he come back and it was before the prequels plus it didn’t take away Anakin sacrifice because Luke,Han,Leia,the new republic and Jedi order is strong in it. While the Disney trilogy took away everything Anakin sacrifice achieve hell never even mention him at all.
Free Ukraine!!!! 🤠👍🇺🇦
Another reason why he is the best jedi is because he always has the high ground
Alan should do a video with Kayleigh, from youtube channel History with Kayleigh. I believe her last name is During. No reason, I just enjoy shipping!
I treat the sequel films as badly written fan fiction. The true sequel trilogy is Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn.
👍👏
Hello there...
Plot twist for the Kenobi series: It's only Obi-Wan watching Luke from afar as he's afraid that drawing too much attention will cause him to fail his mission of protecting Luke.
I think talking smack is akin to talking B's. You just state facts my brother
Agreed my friend,
The latest movies were very poor thought out cash grabs.
I prefer to ignore their existence
Right the perfect Jedi commits war crimes
So Alan, with how critical you are of the Jedi how exactly would you have the Order change or what do you think would be the Ideal Jedi Order. Obviously not the restrained monks we get in the Prequels, but I doubt they'd be a free spirited bunch of hippies allowed to do whatever they want.
So what would you aim for, perhaps something similar to the Je-Di from Legends who used both sides of the Force, were allowed to have relationships and all the happy nonsense, so long as they maintained proper balance or would it be something else?
The Jedi order could have been like Lukes from a game I can't remember the name of but in that game Lukes jedi order is used to train force sensitives but, they get to choose whether they want to become a jedi or leave the order to go do their own thing.
hey how about a list of the GOOD things that Darth Vader did? that'd be pretty cool
Had Obi-Wan not died in episode IV, would he have sought to bring down the hutts altogether? Another speculation theory to wonder about… 🤔
Hmm
Literally because he looks like the American depiction of Jesus Christ 🛐✨
I mean yeah a little bit especially In episode II 🤣
@@GenerationTech lmao 😂
Also praying for Ukraine 🇺🇦💙💛🙏
Nah it’s Plo Koon
Palpatine comes back in Legends too. Why does it matter that he came back in the Sequels?
Because there was no real set up for it for the majority of people not at least aware of the Dark Empire novels. The entire sequel trilogy was just poorly handled.
And besides it's just a bit ridiculous anyway. The Dark Empire novels at least have a more coherent story but Palpatine coming back to life by using clones to respawn is just ridiculous. Not unbelievable but just ridiculous.
maul had the high ground
The Jedi were supposed to follow anakin that’s why they were all destroyed. They were supposed to follow the will of the force and anakin was literally born due to the force. He IS quite literally a physical embodiment of the will of the force.
The Ministry of Empire Truth would like a word with you. 😕
Huh? Why not trust Yoda and Qui Gon Jin?
Why do everyone always complain about the resurrected "emperor"...
He didn't die and respawn. It's a clone FFS!!....
Palpatine always had a plan for every possibility, including his own death.
He didn’t kill anakin because it’s just not the Jedi way to kill an unarmed man
Anakin and Obi Wan could have easily bonded over their personal issues. But sadly they didn't because of their own convictions.
This channel is quickly becoming an "Obi-wan simp channel"...
And I'm totally ok with that. XD
Ewen is a gem
Obi wan should of been the head of all the Jedi and anakin should of been the head general of the clone army . Yoda mace and the other Jedi masters caused all the bad stuff to happen if you want to be honest
Kenobi is cool and all but.....do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Qui-Gon Jin and the Church of Latter-day Je'daii?
Kenobi was a great man, a great Jedi but "Perfect" no, that can be fully seen when he screams at Darth Vader "THEN YOU ARE LOST!" if he were truly the "Perfect Jedi" then he'd've used REASON as his guide not his light saber, but I'll tell ya what he's perfect at, he's the "Perfect" Troll!
I take it we're ignoring his habit of false surrenders?
"Why do I get the sense we picked up another pathetic lifeform" - Obi-Wan referring to Anakin in Ep 1, I would never trust Obi.
Who cares about the sequels, Ashoka lives and all of Star Wars is changed because of it. The sequels never happen.
Potato
None of what these icons did meant anything…… Rey saved the galaxy!!!!
This episode feels bias
but war crimes are funny
Trueeeeeeeee
great endings of the prequel and original trilogy
crappy sequels "hello there"
