Star Wars: 10 Things You Never Knew About Obi-Wan Kenobi

10. Duchess Satine Had A Undying Love For Him

It is commonly known that the Jedi are forbidden from attaching themselves and marrying. This measure is put in place to avoid the risk of them straying away to the Dark Side because of jealously or fear of loss that could occur. Case in point: Anakin Skywalker.

This code proved a challenge for Obi-Wan, especially when it came to his relationship with Duchess Satine Kryze. The two first met whilst he was a Padawan, as he and his Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, were assigned to project the Duchess from insurgent bounty hunters on Mandalore. Over the years, Kenobi and Kryze developed strong feelings for each other.

The force of love was so strong in fact that Obi-Wan openly confessed that he “would have left the Jedi Order” if she had said the word. Their fondness was no secret either. In the episode, Voyage of Temptation, Anakin even jested with his Master to “go find your girlfriend.”

Even though she perished at the hands of the Darth Maul’s Darksaber as an act of revenge, her love for Kenobi would be everlasting. As she laid dying in his arms, Satine uttered with her final breath "Remember my dear Obi-Wan, I loved you always. I always will."
