After a second attempt, Obi-Wan and Anakin pursued her attacker, a clawdite bounty hunter named Zam Wesell. And so it was: the Council granted Obi-Wan knighthood, and Anakin was named his Padawan.Īs Obi-Wan Kenobi continued to train Anakin Skywalker, the two were assigned as security for their old friend, Senator Padmé Amidala, after an assassination attempt on her life. Kenobi ran to Qui-Gon, who with his dying wish asked Obi-Wan to train Anakin as a Jedi. Maul toyed with him, kicking Obi-Wan’s lightsaber into the abyss, but could not anticipate the Jedi’s bold move: he somersaulted over Maul, drew Qui-Gon’s Jedi weapon to his hand, and cut the Sith Lord in two. Obi-Wan continued the fight, but a Force push left him dangling above a deep shaft. The two Jedi dueled Maul in a fast, furious battle, which saw Qui-Gon fatally wounded. Little did they know that the dark menace from Tatooine, in truth a Sith named Darth Maul, was awaiting their arrival. In a surprise move, Queen Amidala decided to go back to Naboo to retake the planet, with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon escorting her. Anakin and Obi-Wan met for the first time after a near-deadly attack by a mysterious dark warrior, and the group headed home to Coruscant. Qui-Gon and Padmé crossed paths with a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker who was unusually strong with the Force, helping the stranded heroes pay for starship parts by winning a Podrace. There, they finally connected with Queen Padmé Amidala of the Naboo, fled the planet, and landed on Tatooine. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon survived the trap, however, and fled to the planet’s surface. The two were dispatched to settle a dispute between the Trade Federation and the planet Naboo, but negotiations never took place - the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, orchestrating the Trade Federation’s blockade of the planet, ordered the Jedi killed. As a Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi was the headstrong apprentice to Qui-Gon Jinn.
