Obi-Wan's stature as an extraordinary Jedi Master cannot be understated, having defeated not only Darth Maul but also General Grievous and Anakin Skywalker in intense combat, and matching this with his overwhelming wisdom and intelligence, having served as the mentor to both Anakin and his son Luke.

This wisdom is perhaps no more evident than when Obi-Wan allows Vader to kill him in A New Hope, becoming one with the Force and helping guide Luke towards his destiny, ensuring even death didn't stop him from influencing some of the galaxy's most pivotal events.

Arguably the most well-rounded Jedi of them all, his adept combat skills, mastery of the Jedi Mind Trick and later efforts as a Force Ghost combined to make him a pervasively powerful character like few others.
