15 Small Details You Only Notice Rewatching Star Wars: The Clone Wars

12. The Origins Of "Hello There"

In one of the greatest and most quotable moments in the prequel trilogy, Obi-Wan confronts General Grievous with a wonderfully snarky "Hello there." This is also the same way in which Old Ben greets R2-D2 in A New Hope.

In the fourth ever episode of The Clone Wars, the origins of this iconic line are revealed to have come from Grievous himself in his initial meeting Obi-Wan. It was meant as a mocking line from the cyborg, but in time Obi-Wan would adopt it as one of his trademarks.

Knowing that Grievous first said it to the Jedi during the Clone Wars just makes Obi-Wan's line in Revenge even cooler.
