“Part I” · Season 1, Episode 1

In this episode: Obi-Wan Kenobi (2), Princess Leia Organa (1), Grand Inquisitor (1)

[In Mos Eisley, Obi-Wan is unhitching his eopie from its stable when a bag is tossed at his feet - the skyhopper toy he had obtained from the Jawas. Owen Lars is in the doorway, glaring]

OLOwen Lars

I want you to stay away from him. We don't need anything from you, Ben.

It's just a toy.

OOwen

It's a lot more than that.

There's more to life than your farm, Owen. He needs to see that. There's a whole galaxy out there.

OOwen

I'm asking you to leave us alone, Ben. I mean it.

Is he okay?

OOwen

You don't care if he's okay. You care if he's showing.

He's my responsibility, Owen.

OOwen

Well, I'm his uncle.

We talked about this. When the time comes, he must be trained.

OOwen

Like you trained his father? Anakin is dead, Ben, and I won't let you make the same mistake twice. So leave him on the farm, with his family, where he belongs.

[At the saloon in Mos Eisley, the Grand Inquisitor and his agents interrogate the manager]

You know who we are?

BMBar Manager

Inquisitors.

You know what we do?

BMBar Manager

You hunt Jedi.

In actuality, I would say the Jedi hunt themselves. Do you know the key to hunting 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. He comes across this establishment, nice place. 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.

[Obi-Wan is waylaid by another Jedi who has been in hiding in the town]

Stay hidden. Live a normal life.

NNari

What about the people that need us? What about the fight?

The fight is done. We lost.

NNari

What happened to you? You were once a great Jedi.

The time of the Jedi is over. Go back to the town. Let it go.

[On Alderaan, Senator Bail Organa deals with his ten-year-old adoptive daughter Leia after an incident at a reception.]

BOBail Organa

I wanted to live out way past Kathou when I was your age. Chase purrgil, you know? I had a whole plan.

What happened?

BBail

I got older. Had to find some other adventures. Started chasing your mother instead. This is your future, Leia. In a few years, you'll be off to university, then Junior Senate.

The Senate's boring. It's people in itchy clothes arguing.

BBail

[chuckles] Well, it may seem so...

I don't want to be a senator.

BBail

Which is why you'll probably be one of the best.

[glumly] I'm not even a real Organa.

BBail

What? [kneels next to her] Don't ever say that. You are our child. You are an Organa in every way. One day, this planet will look to you, Leia. There are many ways to lead. You just have to find yours.
