Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi
Ben Kenobi is a Tatooine desert hermit who years ago went by the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi when he served the Republic as a Jedi Knight. He rescues Luke Skywalker from an attack by the Sand People and recovers a secret message from Princess Leia that has been hidden inside R2-D2. Responding to Leia's plea for help, Kenobi, Luke and the droids hire a ship to take them to Leia's home world, but eventually end up on the Imperial battle station The Death Star, where the old Jedi engages in a final confrontation with his former pupil Darth Vader.
