Trained by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, young Obi-Wan
Kenobi is an excellent apprentice. His skills are already
quite impressive, and Master Jinn is proud of his pupil's
quick thinking and resourcefulness. He is not a Jedi yet, but
his training is almost complete. His dedication to the Jedi
way and the nobility of his character deeply honor the efforts
of his mentor.
In accordance with tradition for human apprentices,
Obi-Wan wears his hair short and even, except for a long,
thin braid, and a small ponytail. He has constructed his
blue-bladed lightsaber himself, as part of his training. His
shoulders are covered with the traditional Jedi cloak.
Obi-Wan admires and respects Qui-Gon Jinn, even though
there are times when Kenobi doesn't completely agree with
his master's point of view. Young Kenobi's focus is beyond
the moment, and he is inclined toward strict observance of
the rules laid down by the Jedi Council.
Obi-Wan's first meeting with the boy Anakin Skywalker on
Tatooine sets him on a path of destiny that will have
tremendous repercussions for the entire galaxy.
