The backbone of the Star Wars saga will always be Obi-Wan’s journey. From the very beginning he is burdened with training the so called prophet who will bring balance to the force. Eventually this lead to failure, not only to Anakin, but to himself…his master whom he watched die, to every jedi in the galaxy, and the force itself. He then has to go into hiding for almost 20 years while every last jedi was hunted down and killed. Finally, the boy Anakin fathered reaches an age in which Obi-Wan can train him. Train the son of the man who essentially destroyed Obi-Wan’s way of life. With all the convincing and training he gave Luke, it still wasn’t enough. He had to sacrifice his life in order to give Luke that final push he needed to believe in the force. With the help of Yoda, Obi-Wan still helped Luke in the afterlife. In the end, Obi-Wan succeeded through Luke. Balance was brought back to the force and the jedi have a chance of returning. Most importantly though, Obi-Wan got to have his brother back.
