One of my dear heroes is the late great Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi. He was quite a guy, the model for self-sacrifice and a life devoted to virtue. I wish I could be him. I think I hate Luke more now as I write this. At least he could talk to Obi Wan in his head, Obi Wan was like his Jesus. Wouldn't it be awesome if Jesus dressed like Obi Wan? he already has superpowers.... sweet. I'm not trying to be sacreligious, in fact I think if Jesus has a list of favourite movies Star Wars is on it. And Alec Guiness who played Obi Wan in the original series was a convert to Catholicism. So Jesus already likes him.
Obi Wan Kenobi, what a guy, he had some amazing quotes. "That's no moon, it's a space station". "If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine". "My allegiance is to the Republic, to Democracy!". and finally his relativistic philosophizing: "only a Sith deals in absolutes".
I really hope that if I ever get my arm chopped off, or I'm hanging on the bottom of Cloud City, or I'm laying partially unconcious in a snowy planet (Yavin 5) that I could call out to Obi Wan and hear his voice in my head.
I think my life would be exponentially cooler if somehow he appeared to me and trained me in the Force. All these Catholics and their Apparations of Mary, Our Lady of Fatima? if you left it up to me I'd rather have 'Our Jedi Master of a galaxy far far away'. I still can't figure out if Darth Vader killed him, or if he just evaporated, or if he became one with the force.... and whether that counts as a mortal sin or not.
"Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." - Princess Leia's Prayer to Obi Wan, patron saint of princesses leading rebellions against galactic empire's.

don't forget his social commentary on the town of Mos Eisley: "you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy". now that's saying something.
