Star Wars: Obi-Wan is a 2001 video game published by LucasArts, one of the early titles for the Xbox gaming console. This game features Obi-Wan Kenobi as a Padawan and takes place in around 32 B.B.Y., in the weeks prior to and during the events of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.
At the beginning of the development, the game was intended for a PC release—and was rumored by PC Gamer to be a "sequel" to Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II—emphasizing mouse control of the Jedi lightsaber. However, it was soon scrapped and shifted to exclusive Xbox development, allegedly due to lack of performance on the PC platform. Plans for objective based multiplayer modes and online play were also scrapped. After the release, Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance versions were planned but they were cancelled due to mediocre reviews.
Star Wars: Obi-Wan supports a multiplayer mode called Jedi Battle. In this mode, two players can compete as any one of the Jedi characters unlocked. Characters may be unlocked by defeating them in the single player Jedi arena.
Star Wars: Obi-Wan was met with very mixed reception upon release; GameRankings gave it a score of 59.78%, while Metacritic gave it 58 out of 100.
