Obi-Wan Kenobi once contemplated leaving the Jedi Order, but why? Obi-Wan Kenobi has historically been viewed as the model Jedi. He was selfless, wise, steadfast, and sympathetic, taking on a young Anakin Skywalker as his Padawan when he had only just lost his own Master following the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Obi-Wan and Anakin proved to be a great, albeit unconventional pairing, with the two Jedi becoming as close as brothers; a relationship that would ultimately prove to be the Jedi Orders downfall.
