Obi-Wan Kenobi Quotes in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)

[During Rey's vision after touching Luke's lightsaber]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Rey? These are your first steps.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind, until now, until now you've become the very thing you swore to destroy.

Anakin Skywalker: Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan! I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Your new Empire?

Anakin Skywalker: Don't make me kill you.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy.

Anakin Skywalker: If you're not with me, then you're my enemy.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [realizing that Anakin is consumed by evil and there's no reasoning with him anymore] Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

[draws his lightsaber]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I will do what I must.

Anakin Skywalker: You will try.

[draws his lightsaber and confronts Obi-Wan]

Anakin Skywalker: Obi-Wan, may the force be with you.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Goodbye old friend. May the force be with you.

Anakin Skywalker: You turned her against me!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You have done that yourself.

Anakin Skywalker: You will not take her from me!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Your anger and lust for power have already done that.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [referring to Anakin] When is the last time you saw him?

Padmé: Yesterday.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Do you know where he is now?

Padmé: No.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Padmé, I need your help. He is in grave danger.

Padmé: From the Sith?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: From himself. Padmé, Anakin has turned to the Dark Side.

Padmé: You're wrong! How could you even SAY that?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I have seen a security hologram... of him... killing Younglings.

Padmé: No! Not Anakin! He couldn't...

Obi-Wan Kenobi: He was decieved by a lie... we all were. It appears that the Chancellor is behind everything, including the war! After the death of Count Dooku, Anakin became his new apprentice.

Padmé: I don't believe you. I can't...

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Padmé, I must find him.

Padmé: You're going to kill him, aren't you?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: He has become a very great threat.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [He gets off of the couch, walking towards his ship] Anakin is the father, isn't he?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [Padmé doesn't know what to say] I'm so sorry.

General Grievous: Anakin Skywalker. I expected someone with your reputation to be a little... older.

Anakin Skywalker: General Grievous... you're shorter than I expected.

General Grievous: Jedi scum!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: We have a job to do, Anakin. Try not to upset him.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [after finding the young dead Jedi's in the temple] Who? Who could have done this?

Anakin Skywalker: I sense Count Dooku.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I sense a trap.

Anakin Skywalker: Next move?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [smiling] Spring the trap.

[after Anakin is assigned by the Jedi to spy on Chancellor Palpatine]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin did not take to his new assignment with much enthusiasm.

Mace Windu: It's very dangerous, putting them together. I don't think the boy can handle it. I don't trust him.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: With all due respect, Master, is he not the Chosen One? Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force?

Mace Windu: So the prophecy says.

Yoda: A prophecy that misread could have been.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: He will not let me down. He never has.

Yoda: I hope right you are.

[Anakin has been appointed onto the council, but denied mastership]

Anakin Skywalker: I swear to you... I didn't ask to be put on the council.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: But it's what you wanted. Your friendship with Chancellor Palpatine seems to have paid off. Anakin, I am on your side. I did not want to put you in this situation

Anakin Skywalker: What situation?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Council wants you to report on all the Chancellor's dealings.

Anakin Skywalker: They want me to spy on the Chancellor? But that is treason!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: We are at war, Anakin.

[Obi-Wan regains consciousness while hanging precariously inside an elevator shaft underneath Anakin]

Anakin Skywalker: Easy! We're in a bit of a situation.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Did I miss something?

General Grievous: Army or not, you must realize, you are doomed.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Oh, I don't think so.

Anakin Skywalker: From my point of view the Jedi are evil.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Then you are lost!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Chancellor is behind everything, including the war. Palpatine is the Sith Lord we've been searching for.

[deprived of his lightsaber, Obi-Wan kills General Grievous with the general's own blaster]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [throws the gun away] Uh! So uncivilized.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Hello there!

General Grievous: General Kenobi, you are a bold one!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Roger...

Anakin Skywalker: Roger.

[they both laugh]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Odd Ball, do you copy?

Clone Captain "Odd Ball" Davijaan: Copy Red Leader.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Mark your squad up behind me.

Clone Captain "Odd Ball" Davijaan: We're on your tail General Kenobi. Set S-foils into attack position.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin's the father, isn't he? I'm so sorry.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [as he and Anakin walk into a room and find Chancellor Palpatine in a chair] Chancellor.

[bows]

Anakin Skywalker: You all right?

Supreme Chancellor: Count Dooku.

[Anakin and Obi-Wan turn around to and see Count Dooku with two Super Battle Droids]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: This time we'll do it together.

Anakin Skywalker: I was about to say that.

Supreme Chancellor: You can't be any match for him, he's a Sith Lord.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our specialty.

[he and Anakin take off robes]

Count Dooku: Your swords, please. You don't want to make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You won't get away this time, Dooku.

[he, Anakin, and Dooku ignite lightsabers and fight]

Count Dooku: I've been looking forward to this.

Anakin Skywalker: My powers are double since the last time we met, Count.

Count Dooku: Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.

[fights more]

Supreme Chancellor: [as Obi-Wan falls and gets back up, running toward Dooku] Get him!

[Dooku chokes Obi-Wan and throws him down the stairs]

Anakin Skywalker: You're going to need me on this one, Master.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Oh, I agree. Though it could turn out to just be a wild bantha chase.

[while chasing Padme's assassin, Obi-Wan and Anakin track her to a nightclub]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?

Anakin Skywalker: Don't say that Master... You're the closest thing I have to a father... I love you. I don't want to cause you pain.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Then why don't you listen to me?

Anakin Skywalker: I try, Master.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Can you see him?

Anakin Skywalker: I think he's a she... and I think she's a Changeling.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: In that case be extra careful. Go and find her.

[He heads towards the bar]

Anakin Skywalker: Where are you going, Master?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: For a drink.

[while Anakin searches the nightclub for the assassin, Obi-Wan sits down at the counter, and the dealer to his right turns to him]

Elan Sleazebaggano: You wanna buy some death-sticks?

[Obi-Wan executes the Jedi Mind Trick]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You don't want to sell me death sticks.

Elan Sleazebaggano: Ah, I don't want to sell you death sticks.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You want to go home and rethink your life.

Elan Sleazebaggano: I want to go home and rethink my life.

[Elan leaves. The assassin closes in on Obi-Wan, but just before she can shoot him, he turns around and uses his lightsaber to cut off her arm. Anakin is suddenly at Obi-Wan's side]

Anakin Skywalker: Easy... Jedi business. Go back to your drinks.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Captain Typho has more than enough men downstairs. No assassin will try that way. Any activity up here?

Anakin Skywalker: Quiet as a tomb. I don't like just waiting here for something to happen to her.

[Obi-Wan checks a palm-sized view scanner he has pulled out of his utility belt. It views R2D2, over by the door, but no sign of Padme's bed]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: What's going on?

Anakin Skywalker: [shrugs] She covered the cameras. I don't think she liked me watching her.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: What is she thinking?

Anakin Skywalker: She programmed R2 to warn us if there's an intruder.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: It's not an intruder I'm worried about. There are many other ways to kill a Senator.

Anakin Skywalker: I know, but we also want to catch this assassin. Don't we, Master?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You're using her as bait?

Anakin Skywalker: It was her idea... Don't worry, no harm will come to her. I can sense everything going on in that room. Trust me.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: It's too risky... besides, your senses aren't that attuned, young apprentice.

Anakin Skywalker: And yours are?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Possibly.

[Cuts to a shot of Zam Wesell loading a probe droid and dispatching it. When it cuts back, Anakin and Obi-Wan have moved their conversation to the balcony]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You look tired.

Anakin Skywalker: I don't sleep well anymore.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Because of your mother?

Anakin Skywalker: I don't know why I keep dreaming about her now. I haven't seen her since I was little.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Dreams pass in time.

Anakin Skywalker: I'd rather dream of Padmé. Just being around her again is... intoxicating.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin, they betray you. You've made a commitment to the Jedi Order... a commitment not easily broken... and don't forget she's a politician. They're not to be trusted.

[the probe droid cuts a hole into Padme's window. R2 awakens, but when he sees no alarm, he shuts off]

Anakin Skywalker: She's not like the others in the Senate, Master.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: It's been my experience that Senators are only focused on pleasing those who fund their campaigns... and they are more than willing to forget the niceties of democracy to get those funds.

Anakin Skywalker: Not another lecture, Master. Not on the economics of politics...

[They return to the main room]

Anakin Skywalker: ... and besides, you're generalizing. The Chancellor doesn't appear to be corrupt.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Palpatine's a politician. I've observed that he is very clever at following the passions and prejudices of the Senators.

[R2 sounds an alarm as the poisonous Kohuns get within inches of Padme's face]

Anakin Skywalker: I think he is a good man. My instincts are very positive about...

[He stops]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I sense it, too.

[They move and quickly kill the Kohuns]

Jango Fett: Do you like your army?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I look forward to seeing them in action.

Jango Fett: They'll do their job well. I'll guarantee that.

[after Obi-Wan injures Zam inside the Night Club, Anakin and Obi-Wan drag her out into the alley to interrogate her]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Do you know who it was you were trying to kill?

Zam Wesell: It was a Senator from Naboo.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: And who hired you?

Zam Wesell: It was just a job.

Anakin Skywalker: Who hired you? Tell us.

[Zam stays silent; Anakin raises his tone with anger]

Anakin Skywalker: Tell us now!

Zam Wesell: It was a bounty hunter called...

[Zam is suddenly shot in the neck by a toxic dart; Anakin and Obi-Wan see a "rocket-man" take off and fly away, and Zam dies]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [deleted scene; Obi-Wan and Mace are walking along the Jedi Landing Platform] It appears someone doesn't want us to know about this Kamino System.

Mace Windu: Which means there's something happening in their System we should know about.

[pause]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Master, do you think a Jedi could have erased those files?

Mace Windu: I hope not.

[they walk over to Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter]

Mace Windu: This disturbance in the Force is making it hard to get a sense of things.

[the small platform they are on with Obi-Wan's Starfighter moves outside]

Mace Windu: [pause]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I'm concerned with my Padawan. He is not ready to be on his own.

Mace Windu: If the prophesy is true, he is the one who will bring balance to the Force.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: But he still has much to learn. His skills have made him, well, arrogant. I realize now what you and Master Yoda said from the beginning, the boy was too old to start his training. Master we should not be given this assignment. I fear Anakin will not be able to protect the Senator.

Mace Windu: Why?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: He has an emotional collection with her. It's been there since he was a boy. Now he's confused. Distracted.

Mace Windu: Obi-Wan, you must have faith that he will choose the right path.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [bows his head] Yes, Master.

[gets into his Starfighter and takes off]

Asajj Ventress: Master Kenobi, always chasing after Skywalker. How predictable.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin leaves quite a mess, which always leads me to you, Ventress.

[during their duel, Kenobi blocks a killing strike from Ventriss and mocks her]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You'll have to do better than that, my darling.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 'Tis a a rare honor to be able to meet one's opponent face to face. You're a legend throughout the Inner core.

General Loathsom: Thank you. The honor is all mine. I'm so glad you decided to surrender.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Let's just hope Anakin is ready for this responsibility.

Yoda: Ready he is, to teach an apprentice. To let go of his pupil, a greater challenge it will be.

Anakin Skywalker: They're back!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I told you this victory was too easy. We never should have sent the ship back for supplies.

Anakin Skywalker: It wasn't my idea to send the ship back.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [Holding his head] It's as if a million voices cried out in terror... and then were suddenly silenced.

[pause]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I have the worst hangover in history.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You see, only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Tarkin: Wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense at all.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I on the other hand, deal in Absolut!

[drinks from a bottle of vodka]

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Whoo! We're having fun now, man!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Don't you see, don't you see, there has to be a balance in harmony between light and the dark side. And to create that harmony, we wanted to wipe out the dark side! And then all of a sudden two Siths come along and they kill all but two Jedis? That's not balance.

Tarkin: Do you remember Ani?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yes. I loved him like a brother. So I cut him in half... and I put him in a volcano.

Tarkin: Oh... well... he's better now.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Oh good, well quit Tarkin all the muff and let's have a drink, shall we?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Well... it's like... goddammit, right? It's like, y-y-you think you kill a guy... and then he shows up as a goddamn robut. And this is the second time this has happened to me!
