pieces; the wide belt and the bow.The belt is wrapped twice around the waist and tucked
under.You can find butterfly obi belts at JapaneseGifts.The finished bow will look as the yellow portion of the picture
shown above (basically a single tied bow).Place the long obi fabric around the waist with the ends toward
the front.Overlap the ends of the obi toward the front so that it crosses
over and tie the belt once with the right end over the left.You will now have one shorter end towards the top and one long end
hanging down.Twist the tie so that the short end goes over your
right shoulder.Fold the long bottom end in half or twice to get the size bow you
want.Any excess portion of the belt should be
hidden underneath.Turn the belt around toward your back.They are either called kaku or heko.The Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI) project is developing an integrated

to Jedi Knighthood.Wan grew increasingly concerned that the young Padawan's raw power had fostered a dangerous arrogance.Wan continued the investigation.Wan discovered a dangerous and disturbing mystery.The vaunted Jedi Archives, perhaps the largest repository of lore in the galaxy, had no record of the planet that Dex described.Wan learned that Kamino had been erased from the archives.Dyas, believed dead at the time, had apparently commissioned the army.Wan, never breaking his cover story of inspecting the clones, had a brief yet tense conversation with the hunter.Kenobi recognized the man's armor from the assassination attempts on Coruscant, and was tasked by the Jedi Council to take Fett into custody for questioning.Jedi, and the bounty hunter also benefited from cover fire from his young son, Boba.Kenobi shadowed Jango to the ringed world of Geonosis before he was discovered pursuing Slave I.Kenobi's starfighter sustained light damage from a blistering hail of laser fire.Fett again thought he lost his pursuer and proceeded to land, but Kenobi continued his chase.He learned that Dooku was gathering the heads of the commerce guilds and pooling their military

regret that events had escalated to their current level.His disillusionment with the Republic seemed sincere.Kenobi refused to believe the words of the elder Jedi, and refused, too, an invitation to join Dooku in battle against the Sith.Geonosis in a vain rescue effort.The trio was chained to pillars in a massive Geonosian execution arena, and three horrible beasts were unleashed upon them.Jedi Knights infiltrated the arena, and the Separatists countered by unleashing many more battle droids into combat.Wan fought valiantly and survived.This was but a prelude to the start of the Clone Wars, as the newly formed Republic military stormed Geonosis.They caught up with the old Jedi in a hidden hangar.Kenobi moved in for the attack, but Dooku proved far too powerful.As Dooku was about to administer the deathblow, Anakin leaped forward and saved his master.Finally, Jedi Master Yoda arrived and attempted to stop Dooku.Wan and Anakin with a fallen pillar torn free by the Force.Yoda used his telekinetic abilities to stop the pillar before it crushed the two younger Jedi, and Dooku was able to escape.Kenobi healed, and had brief moments to reflect upon the immense changes in the galaxy that had occurred.He conceded that the Jedi had needed the clone army, otherwise the Separatists clearly would have won at Geonosis.Wan Kenobi served the Senate and the Republic heroically, on numerous historic battlefronts.Despite his misgivings, he became a seasoned starfighter pilot, learning several tricks from his unorthodox Padawan as the duo blazed a trail of victory through Separatists lines.Kenobi had the control of a complete army of clone troopers and the latest military hardware.During the Clone Wars, Kenobi ascended to the rank of Jedi Master, and he occupied a position in the Jedi Council.Whatever reservations Kenobi had about Palpatine had to be discarded when the Jedi undertook the important mission to rescue the Chancellor from the clutches of General Grievous.Wan and Anakin came racing into the battle aboard their Jedi starfighters.High above Coruscant, an enormous battle raged, as capital ships from the Republic tangled with the escaping forces

as a team.Dooku proved a formidable opponent.Wan with terrible strength, tossing the Jedi Master like a ragdoll against the wall of the quarters.Kenobi was knocked unconscious.When Kenobi recovered,

aboard the ship's bridge.Wan and Anakin were able to break their bonds and overpower their captors.It was Anakin's piloting skills that saved the day, landing the wreck of the starship in an abandoned industrial area.With the death of Dooku, the Republic could claim a major victory, yet the Chancellor was not willing to relinquish any of the power he had attained during the threat of war.Wan was given another tough task; challenging not for its tactical difficulty, but for the awkward strain it put on his relationship with Anakin.At the Chancellor's behest, Skywalker was put on the Jedi Council.Ordinarily, the Council would not allow the Chancellor to dictate the affairs of the Jedi, but they accepted Anakin.Wan explained it to Anakin outside of Council sessions, so that it would remain off official Council records.Wan among his closest friends, and now both were asking to spy on the other.Anakin's irrational suspicions that everyone was conspiring against him.Wan took three battalions to the planet.Kenobi, riding atop a loyal lizard named Boga, climbed to Tenth Level and found Grievous.Wan squaring off against Grievous.The droid general had been trained in lightsaber combat by Count Dooku.Grievous climbed aboard his waiting wheel bike and tore off into the alleys and corridors of the sinkhole city.Kenobi gave pursuit atop Boga, jumping onto Grievous' vehicle and wrestling him to the ground.Grievous had the advantage of raw physical strength and an armored body.Kenobi was nearly bested, but in the course of the brawl, the Jedi had loosened the plates that protected Grievous' organic innards.Snatching Grievous' blaster pistol, Kenobi fired at the General.Wan, back on Coruscant, Palpatine had put his master plan into motion.The Chancellor enacted Order 66, a secret command that turned every clone commander against their Jedi Generals.Absolutely loyal to the Republic, Cody believed that the Jedi were conspiring against the Republic.The clones opened fire on Kenobi.Fleeing the sinkhole planet aboard General Grievous' starfighter, Kenobi made contact with Bail Organa and Jedi Master Yoda.The loyalist Senator reported that the Jedi Temple had been attacked by clone forces, while Yoda also confirmed that the clones had turned against the Jedi all over the Republic.The emergency beacon contained within the Jedi Temple was calling all the Jedi home.Returning to Coruscant, Kenobi and Yoda found the ruins of the temple.The corpses were burned by blaster fire, but several exhibited slashes from a lightsaber.Kenobi realized the terrible truth, a suspicion verified by holographic records of the attack.Anakin Skywalker had caused this destruction.Skywalker was headed next, she did not divulge this to Kenobi.Coruscant to confront Anakin.When Anakin saw Kenobi aboard her ship, he snapped.The two incredible warriors crossed blades throughout the barren industrial facility on Mustafar, oblivious to the volcanic danger surrounding them.The duel spilled over onto Mustafar's fiery surface, with Kenobi and Vader clashing atop automated platforms floating on the molten rivers of lava.He urged Vader not to press on in a fight he could not win, but the Sith Lord's arrogance got the better of him.Anakin's maimed body rolled down the embankment, towards the river's edge.The supposed Chosen One was no more, but only after wreaking so much destruction on the galaxy.The Chancellor now ruled the galaxy, and the young hero he had come to regard as his beloved brother lay dying on the charred gravel of a hellish world.The heat from the river washed over Anakin, and he burst into flames.The alien medics tried to save her life, but it was no use.She died as she gave birth to twins: Luke and Leia.He would stay there for decades, adopting the name of Ben.During this time, Kenobi spent years communing with the Force.Wan studied from him, learning this ability.Wan Kenobi, and bring both Kenobi and the plans to her adoptive father on Alderaan.Wan attributed Anakin's death to a rogue pupil of his, Darth Vader, who betrayed and murdered Anakin.Since, Kenobi reasoned, Anakin ceased to be upon the emergence of Vader, what he told Luke was true, from a certain point of view.Wan tried to train Luke as much as he could in their short time together.Nonetheless, Kenobi saw a chance to redeem his fallen pupil through Luke.Wan and Luke hired Han Solo's Millennium Falcon as transportation to Alderaan.Kenobi did so, carefully sneaking through the labyrinthine corridors of the battle station.Though his skill in the Force kept his presence a secret from stormtroopers and Imperial officers, it only served to draw the attention of Darth Vader.The Dark Lord confronted Kenobi as the Jedi was returning to the Falcon.After decades of delay, Vader finally squared off against his former master.As a diversionary tactic to help the others escape, Kenobi sacrificed himself to Vader.The Dark Lord struck the Jedi down, and

form of Kenobi would appear to Luke.Skywalker to venture to Dagobah, where he could complete his training under the guidance of Yoda.Though Kenobi felt that the dark side could only be defeated by bringing about the deaths of Anakin and the Emperor, Luke strongly believed that his father still had good in him.Luke set out to turn Anakin away from the dark side and succeeded, though at a great
