Ewan McGregor totally re-embodied the character of Obi Wan! Having last left off in episode 5 with Obi Wan and crew escaping from Reva the third sister and Darth Vader. We continue in the finale opener with Darth Vader in full on pursuit of Obi Wan in space.
Obi wan realizes that the only way to save the people he escaped with would be to leave the ship since Vader is obsessed with Obi Wan thus, he leaves in a small spacecraft towards the planet below.
