Season 1
[edit]Part I (1.1)
[edit]- [In Mos Eisley, Obi-Wan is unhitching his eopie from its stable when a bag is tossed at his feet - the skyhopper toy he had obtained from the Jawas. Owen Lars is in the doorway, glaring]
- Owen Lars: I want you to stay away from him. We don't need anything from you, Ben.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: It's just a toy.
- Owen: It's a lot more than that.
- Obi-Wan: There's more to life than your farm, Owen. He needs to see that. There's a whole galaxy out there.
- Owen: I'm asking you to leave us alone, Ben. I mean it.
- Obi-Wan: Is he okay?
- Owen: You don't care if he's okay. You care if he's showing.
- Obi-Wan: He's my responsibility, Owen.
- Owen: Well, I'm his uncle.
- Obi-Wan: We talked about this. When the time comes, he must be trained.
- Owen: Like you trained his father? Anakin is dead, Ben, and I won't let you make the same mistake twice. So leave him on the farm, with his family, where he belongs.
- [At the saloon in Mos Eisley, the Grand Inquisitor and his agents interrogate the manager]
- The Grand Inquisitor: You know who we are?
- Bar Manager: Inquisitors.
- The Grand Inquisitor: You know what we do?
- Bar Manager: You hunt Jedi.
- The Grand Inquisitor: In actuality, I would say the Jedi hunt themselves. Do you know the key to hunting Jedi, friend? It is patience. Jedi cannot help what they are. Their compassion leaves a trail. For example, in our line of work, rumors run rampant. Here’s one I heard just recently. It involves a Jedi, hiding, right here in your lovely saloon. Let's say ours is a wanderer. Maybe he's looking for people like him. He comes across this establishment, nice place. Then, he sees you. A man in need. Perhaps the locals are stealing from you. Threatening you. So what is the Jedi to do? Help you, and risk exposure? Or move on? Now, if he were smart, he'd keep moving. But the Jedi code is like an itch. He cannot help it. So he steps in and saves your saloon. You offer him a place to hide, fresh water, shade from the suns, but the stories, they begin, and they travel quickly. His compassion has been his undoing.
- [Obi-Wan is waylaid by another Jedi who has been in hiding in the town]
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Stay hidden. Live a normal life.
- Nari: What about the people that need us? What about the fight?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: The fight is done. We lost.
- Nari: What happened to you? You were once a great Jedi.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: The time of the Jedi is over. Go back to the town. Let it go.
- [On Alderaan, Senator Bail Organa deals with his ten-year-old adoptive daughter Leia after an incident at a reception.]
- Bail Organa: I wanted to live out way past Kathou when I was your age. Chase purrgil, you know? I had a whole plan.
- Leia Organa: What happened?
- Bail: I got older. Had to find some other adventures. Started chasing your mother instead. This is your future, Leia. In a few years, you'll be off to university, then Junior Senate.
- Leia: The Senate's boring. It's people in itchy clothes arguing.
- Bail: [chuckles] Well, it may seem so...
- Leia: I don't want to be a senator.
- Bail: Which is why you'll probably be one of the best.
- Leia: [glumly] I'm not even a real Organa.
- Bail: What? [kneels next to her] Don't ever say that. You are our child. You are an Organa in every way. One day, this planet will look to you, Leia. There are many ways to lead. You just have to find yours.
Part II (1.2)
[edit]- The Grand Inquisitor: [to the Third Sister] Whatever power you are craving, it will not change what you are. The least of us.
- Haja Estree: I am Haja Estree, Jedi. I help all who are in need. In return, I ask only a few credits. The shadows are my realm, for the light is an unforgiving place for my kind.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Of course. How much?
- Haja Estree: Five hundred to locate the girl, another three hundred to take you to her.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Goodness, that light is unforgiving.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [to Haja Estree] You're a bottom-feeder, a rat who preys on weakness. But in my experience, rats know more about the sewers than anyone else.
- [The Third Sister hunts for Obi-Wan at the cargo port on Daiyu]
- Third Sister: You don't have to worry. You're not going to die. Today. I'm just going to take you to him. Lord Vader will be pleased. [Obi-Wan looks horrified, knowing full well who Vader is] You didn't know. He's alive, Obi-Wan. Anakin Skywalker is alive. And he's been looking for you for a long time.
- [On the automated transport to Mapuzo, Obi-Wan struggles with the Third Sister's revelation]
- Leia Organa: [faintly] What is it? Are you okay?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [whispers] Anakin.
- [Within his fortress on Mustafar, Darth Vader - formerly Anakin Skywalker - awakens...]
Part III (1.3)
[edit]- [Third Sister has contacted Darth Vader regarding Obi-Wan's whereabouts]
- Darth Vader: Where is he?
- Third Sister: [via hologram] We have probes out. We're tracking all possible exits. He will pay for the Grand Inquisitor's...
- Darth Vader: The Grand Inquisitor means nothing. Kenobi is all that matters now. Is that understood?
- Third Sister: Yes, my Lord.
- Darth Vader: I have been watching you, Third Sister. I know what it is you seek. Prove yourself, and the position of Grand Inquisitor is yours. Fail me, and you will not live to regret it.
- [Obi-Wan is looking at the writings surviving Jedi left in the safehouse and stops at one of them]
- Leia Organa: What does it say?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: "Only when the eyes are closed can you truly see."
- Leia Organa: See what?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Way.
- Leia Organa: How does it work? The Force. What does it feel like?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Have you ever been afraid of the dark? [Leia nods] How does it feel when you turn on the light?
- Leia Organa: I feel safe.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yes, it feels like that.
- [Obi-Wan is confronted by Vader on Mapuzo]
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: What have you become?
- Darth Vader: I am what you've made me.
- Darth Vader: The years have made you weak.
- Darth Vader: You should have killed me when you had the chance.
- [Darth Vader has Obi-Wan Kenobi in a Force hold, with the ground between them on fire]
- Darth Vader: Now you will suffer, Obi-Wan! [slams Obi-Wan into the ground and drags him into the fire] Your pain has just begun.
Part IV (1.4)
[edit]- [A furious Darth Vader arrives at Fortress Inquisitorius on Nur after Obi-Wan rescues Leia, and begins Force-choking the Third Sister, lifting her off the floor]
- Darth Vader: You were warned what defeat would bring! I will tolerate your weakness... no longer.
- Third Sister: [struggling] I...I let them go. [Vader relaxes his grip] I put a tracker on the ship. Soon the location of the network and Kenobi will be ours.
- Darth Vader: [gently lowers her to the floor] It seems I have underestimated you.
- Fifth Brother: But my Lord, the base was almost destroyed!
- Third Sister: Kenobi is all that matters.
- Darth Vader: There can be no mistakes. You're certain the tracker is with him?
- Third Sister: Yes, my Lord. Where he goes, it will follow.
Part V (1.5)
[edit]- [Flashback to Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan on Coruscant]
- Anakin Skywalker: I was beginning to think you weren't coming...Master.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Good. Then maybe I stand more of a chance this time. [Anakin ignites his lightsaber] Are you ready?
- Anakin Skywalker: Are you?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [ignites his lightsaber] Then let's begin.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: You grow too aggressive, Anakin! Be mindful! A Jedi's goal is to defend life, not take it!
- [Anakin charges Obi-Wan, they end up back-to-back]
- Anakin Skywalker: Mercy doesn't defeat the enemy, Master. [resumes his attack] Which is why you're gonna lose!
- Grand Inquisitor: Hello, Third Sister. Revenge does wonders for the will to live, don't you think? Your rage was useful. Now, it is tiresome. We will leave you where we found you: in the gutter, where you belong. Goodbye... [removes Grand Inquisitor pin from Reva's uniform] "Grand Inquisitor".
Part VI (1.6)
[edit]- Darth Vader: Have you come to destroy me, Obi-Wan?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [ignites lightsaber] I will do what I must.
- Darth Vader: Then you will die.
- [Obi-Wan has sliced open Darth Vader's mask, revealing the scarred face of Anakin beneath]
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin...
- Darth Vader: [distorted voice] Anakin is gone. I'm what remains.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [tearfully] I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Anakin. For all of it.
- Darth Vader: I'm not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did. The same way...I will destroy you!
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [pauses; resigned] Then my friend is truly dead. Goodbye...Darth.
- Darth Vader: Obi-Wan! [collapses] OBI-WAN!
- Darth Vader: The probes are tracking every system within range. We will destroy everything in our path until he is found!
- Emperor Palpatine: You seem agitated, my friend.
- Darth Vader: He will not evade me again.
- Emperor Palpatine: I wonder if your thoughts on this are clear, Lord Vader. Perhaps your feelings for your old Master have left you weakened. If your past cannot be overcome...
- Darth Vader: [pauses] Kenobi means nothing. I serve only you, my Master.
- [Last lines]
- [Riding through the Jundland Wastes on his eopie, Obi-Wan encounters a familiar presence in the Force...]
