5 Reasons Why Obi Wan Kenobi Was the Perfect Leader for the Jedi 

🇺🇦 A special message for those who want to help the Ukrainian Defense 🇺🇦 ru-vid.combchmplKhjp4

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

Referring to Ki-Adi-Mundi as “potato” is gold 😂😂😂

Anakin Skywalker, Damaged Puppy. I love it.

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

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’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.

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.

I always try to follow Obi-Wan's wise advice to "choose life Renton".

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.

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.

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.

What can i say man he is a man of perfection

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

Early to GenTech, let’s get this day started right!

Making my day better w. Some star wars content

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.

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.

6 he is played by Ewan Mcgregor

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

Powerful he is. Deeply powerul.

Thanks for the resume.

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.

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.

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

It feels weird been this early

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

@Generation Tech Awesome awesome video! My sentiments of Obi Wan have been perfectly echoed!

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!

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

Hello There! Generrrrrral Kenobi! Keep up the good work

Hello there

Can we trust Imperials like this guy? About jedi? He going to turn the whole order into troll hello there order

Fire video

Him and plo are my favorite

Thanks for this review. Kenobi is one of the best Jedi. Glad he is getting a TV series of his own.

Obi wan was the greatest Jedi ever .

plo koon and kit fisto were great jedi also

Can you do more of these episodes on perfect jedi

Cool background

I'm curious, what are your thoughts on Kit Fisto?

Please make a video where the galactic republic with the jedi attack earth

0:22 😏from a certain point of view… 😏

7:47 That's why I pretend the sequel trilogy never happened! 😁

Qui Gon also

Can you please continue the sepratist alliance vs earth series please

For a thousand generations, the Jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the old republic.

Number one reason. He survived.

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

Free Ukraine!!!! 🤠👍🇺🇦

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!

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!!)

Another reason why he is the best jedi is because he always has the high ground

Obi-WAN’s greatest flaw was raising Anakin like a brother instead of a father; which what Anakin needed.

Hello There!

I think talking smack is akin to talking B's. You just state facts my brother

Hello there...

I treat the sequel films as badly written fan fiction. The true sequel trilogy is Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn.

Right the perfect Jedi commits war crimes

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.

👍👏

Agreed my friend, The latest movies were very poor thought out cash grabs. I prefer to ignore their existence

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?

Hmm

hey how about a list of the GOOD things that Darth Vader did? that'd be pretty cool

Nah it’s Plo Koon

Palpatine comes back in Legends too. Why does it matter that he came back in the Sequels?

Had Obi-Wan not died in episode IV, would he have sought to bring down the hutts altogether? Another speculation theory to wonder about… 🤔

Huh? Why not trust Yoda and Qui Gon Jin?

He didn’t kill anakin because it’s just not the Jedi way to kill an unarmed man

maul had the high ground

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.

The Ministry of Empire Truth would like a word with you. 😕

Anakin and Obi Wan could have easily bonded over their personal issues. But sadly they didn't because of their own convictions.

Literally because he looks like the American depiction of Jesus Christ 🛐✨

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.

This channel is quickly becoming an "Obi-wan simp channel"... And I'm totally ok with that. XD

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?

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 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.

Potato

Who cares about the sequels, Ashoka lives and all of Star Wars is changed because of it. The sequels never happen.

None of what these icons did meant anything…… Rey saved the galaxy!!!!

This episode feels bias

but war crimes are funny

great endings of the prequel and original trilogy crappy sequels "hello there"
