Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6! Turn back now if you haven’t seen the latest episode on Disney Plus!
The Obi-Wan Kenobi finale finally saw the Jedi Master say his most famous line – and the internet is loving it. Towards the very end of the episode, Uncle Owen invites Obi-Wan to finally meet young Luke Skywalker. The Jedi introduces himself with an iconic prequel meme: “hello there.”
“HE DID ITTTT STAR WARS STANS WE WONNNNNN,” is one person’s excited response (opens in new tab), while another (opens in new tab) is just as thrilled: “‘HELLO THERE’ YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS”
“HE SAID THE LINE. HELLO THERE TO YOU 2 OBI WAN,” says someone else (opens in new tab). “HE DID IT HE SAID THE THING HE SAID THE THING,” cheers another fan (opens in new tab).
It’s not just a fun callback to the meme, though. As another fan has noticed (opens in new tab), the line also brings the show full circle with A New Hope: “‘Hello there'” the first thing he said when he first met Luke in Kenobi series and when he saw Luke again in A New Hope”
“He waited 10 years… Never meeting the boy he was vowed to protect… And when he finally got the chance… He said this… Now that’s Obi-Wan Kenobi” is someone else’s thoughts (opens in new tab).
The episode also featured a huge Darth Vader moment that had the internet losing it, as well as the return of Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn – so it’s safe to say that the show ended with a bang.
