Narrator: Some people possess talent, others are possessed by it.

"The Prime Mover"
(from internet transcript)
I can't exactly explain it, ace, but well, you see i guess you might say it's a power i got.
I can move things around just by thinking.
What? I know it sounds stupid, but i can.
I don't know how come or why or anything, but i can.
Like since when? Well, like since always.
I never thought there was anything special about it or anything.
I thought everybody could do it, you know, like breathing.
I guess i was wrong.

The Ballad of Jed Clampett (The Beverly Hillbillies)
Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.
Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.
Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.
Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You're all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality.
Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now
Nice folks, Y'all come back now, hear?

Quotes
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

Quotes
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did.
Luke Skywalker: What is it?
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Your father's light saber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire.

Quotes
Darth Vader: He is here.
Grand Moff Tarkin: Obi-Wan Kenobi? What makes you think so?
Darth Vader: A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.
Grand Moff Tarkin: Surely he must be dead by now.
Darth Vader: Don't underestimate the Force.
Grand Moff Tarkin: The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion.

The approach will not be easy.
You are required to maneuver straight
down this trench
and skim the surface to this point.
The target area is only two meters wide.
It's a small thermal exhaust port,
right below the main port.
The shaft leads directly to the reactor system.
A precise hit will start a chain reaction which
should destroy the station.
Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction.
The shaft is ray-shielded,
so you'll have to use proton torpedoes.
-That's impossible, even for a computer.
-It's not impossible.
I used to bull's-eye womp rats in my T-sixteen
back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
Man your ships! And may the Force be with you!
Orbiting the planet at maximum velocity.
The moon with the Rebel base will be in range in
thirty minutes.
This will be a day long remembered.
It has seen the end of Kenobi
and it will soon see the end of the Rebellion.

Quotes
Nari: I thought I saw you in town, but I wasn't sure. I didn't think you'd survived.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You're making some kind of mistake.
Nari: I'm sorry, my name is Nari.
[taking out a lightsaber]
Nari: Um, there's no mistake.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You're looking for somebody else.
Nari: What are you doing here, Obi-Wan?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: My name is Ben.
Nari: Come on, please. Please. You have no idea what I've been through.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You must leave. You'll draw too much attention.
Nari: But I have nowhere to go. They're hunting me. You have to help me.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You want my help?
[indicating Nari's lightsaber]
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Take this. Walk into the middle of the desert and bury it in the ground. Stay hidden. Live a normal life.
Nari: What about the people that need us? What about the fight?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: The fight is done. We lost.
Nari: What happened to you? You were once a great Jedi.

Quotes
Grand Inquisitor: Do you know the key to hunting a Jedi, friend? It is patience. Jedi cannot help what they are. Their compassion leaves a trail. For example, in our line of work, rumors run rampant. Here's one I heard just recently. It involves a Jedi hiding right here in your lovely saloon. Let's say ours is a wanderer. Maybe he's looking for people like him. Comes across this establishment. Nice place. And then he sees you. A man in need. Perhaps the locals are stealing from you. Threatening you. So what is the Jedi to do? Help you and risk exposure? Or move on? Now, if he were smart, he'd keep moving, but the Jedi Code is like an itch. He cannot help it. So he steps in and saves your saloon. You offer him a place to hide. Fresh water, shade from the suns, but the stories, they begin and they travel quickly. His compassion has been his undoing.
[Reva picks up a knife from a table and throws it at the saloon owner, but it stops in mid-air]
Inquisitor Reva: [spotting Nari, who uses the Force to control the knife] There.
Grand Inquisitor: [Nari tries to escape, but his path is blocked] Prepare him for interrogation.
Nari: You're wasting your time. You know that, right? You'll never find us all.
