"Hello There!" - Obi-Wan Kenobi CAN RAP?
9,664Hello there! I’m Obi Wan Kenobi, although "Old Ben" is how they’ve come to know me upon this sandy barren planet that’s become my home. See, lonely, I wonder dusty roads, adorned in scruffy robes; an undercover Jedi veteran that has seen loads.
Battled with tons of clones (among them, Cody), drunk with Yoda, and now look out for Luke, his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen.
From my base among the Jundland Wastes I’m on the case. Just dunes and Tusken Raiders (fussy neighbours), but there’s lots of space to move.
Though, aside from awaiting Luke, there ain’t much in this place to do. It’s as exciting as supervising convoluted trade disputes. It takes some patience to negotiate with federations who blockade the routes, 'til Nute Gunray betrays you then invades Naboo.
Won’t get anything done in Mos Eisley if you ask nicely. The markets are hardly a posh high street, so it’s not likely. I know the rough side streets and mind tricks you have to do - sometimes it’s not just the Sith that deal in absolutes, and that’s the truth.
The past comes back in loops to hit you hard and faster than a blaster shoots. What’s after Luke?
Qui-Gon Jinn and I discovered Anakin upon the planet Tatooine. Now it happens that’s the habitat I’m shacked up in. Is that a grander plan? It has to have been. It’s not just luck how crossed our paths have been - we’re subject to higher order: a fact that makes itself apparent whenever I link up with Skywalkers.
You cannot imagine how fire the force is, by its very nature. It’s hella dangerous, nevertheless its vibrations serenade us. It’s alive. Midichlorians all surround and bind and penetrate us, right from backwoods planets straight to grand Galactic Senate Chambers. Part dermal regenerator, part thermal detonator. Dark versus light can’t blur the line that separates us.For the son it’s rather hard to learn how far the father fell, but once it’s done it’s the first step inside a larger world.
I sense the signs at once: a chill as The Empereror’s eyes are hunting, feeling me. Left to hide among the krill in this wretched hive of scum and villainy. Endless lives have suffered indignity under this unforgiving tyranny. But ever defiant, the Rebel Alliance is stemming the tide of toxicity; ending the terror the tyrants send every time, undermining their mindless hostility, finding the minorest fault in their finest facilities, then wiping out their entire military.
Wherever I might be found, I keep to the higher ground, even in the deepest cavern; leaping chasms; there’d be good reason if you see me leaving seedy taverns. Believe me, your beliefs might need to be re-examined, don’t even fear dragons. Strike me down and I’ll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Loved Anakin like a son, and I would have done anything under the twin suns to prevent something as bad as that happening again. Young padawans are suggestible, are susceptible to the Dark Side, so accept the forces of darkness are a predator from which you can’t hide.
I’ll be losing Maul soonish, surely you saw me demolish him. But who’s the more foolish, y’all: the fool, or the fool who follows him?
Look forward to when I’ve Fought Vader once more, felt the full force of the whole blade of his old sabre. 'Til then, I walk with the Raiders.
