    Dialog transcript
    Luke stands in the middle of the small hold area, he seems frozen in place. A humming lightsaber is held high over his head. Ben watches him from the corner, studying his movements. Han watches with a bit of smugness.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him.
    Luke Skywalker
    You mean it controls your actions?
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Partially. But it also obeys your commands.
    Suspended at eye level, about ten feet in front of Luke, a seeker remote hovers slowly in a wide arc. The remote floats to one side of the youth then the other. Suddenly it makes a lightning-swift lunge and stops within a few feet of Luke's face. Luke doesn't move and the ball backs off. It slowly moves behind the boy, then makes another quick lunge, this time emitting laser beam as it attacks. It hits Luke in the leg causing him to tumble over. Han lets loose with a burst of laughter.
    Han Solo
    Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
    Luke Skywalker
    You don't believe in the Force, do you?
    Han Solo
    Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny.
    Ben smiles quietly.
    Han Solo
    It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    I suggest you try it again, Luke.
    Ben places a flight helmet with blast shield down on Luke's head which covers his eyes.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct.
    Luke Skywalker
    With the blast shield down, I can't even see. How am I supposed to fight?
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them.
    Han skeptically shakes his head as Ben throws the seeker into the air. The ball shoots straight up in the air, then drops like a rock. Luke swings the lightsaber around blindly missing the seeker, which fires off a laserbolt which hits Luke square on the seat of the pants. He lets out a painful yell and attempts to hit the seeker.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Stretch out with your feelings.
    Luke stands in one place, seemingly frozen. The seeker makes a dive at Luke and, incredibly, he managed to deflect the bolt. The ball ceases fire and moves back to its original position.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    You see, you can do it.
    Han Solo
    I call it luck.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.
    Han Solo
    Look, going good against remotes is one thing. Going good against the living? That's something else.
    Solo notices a small light flashing on the far side of the control panel.
    Han Solo
    Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan.
    Han and Chewbacca head back to the cockpit.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Luke... Luke.
    Luke Skywalker
    Ben?
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    You will go to the Dagobah system.
    Luke Skywalker
    Dagobah system?
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    There you will learn from Yoda, the Jedi Master who instructed me.
    Luke Skywalker
    Ben... Ben.

Summary
Obi-Wan Kenobi, later known as Ben Kenobi during his exile, was a Force-sensitive Human male and a legendary Jedi Master who played a significant role in the fate of the galaxy during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. He was the mentor of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker, training both in the ways of the Force. He had a long and tumultuous career that helped shape the fate of the entire galaxy. Born in 57 BBY on Stewjon, Kenobi was taken as the Jedi apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn and traveled on many missions with him. During the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, Kenobi became the first Jedi in approximately 1000 years to defeat a Sith Lord in combat when he defeated Darth Maul during the Battle of Naboo, yet lost his master in the same duel. In 22 BBY, Kenobi found the Clone army on Kamino, and he was captured and almost executed in the Petranaki arena on Geonosis, along with Skywalker and Senator Padme Amidala. The newly arrived clone troopers rescued them, but the following battle began the galaxy-wide Clone Wars. Kenobi became a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars as he lead the Republic to many famous victories, beginning with the countering of the Dark Reaper Project alongside Skywalker and Mace Windu on planets such as Thule, Rhen Var, Jabiim, and Raxus Prime.
