Star Wars: Obi-Wan (originally known as Star Wars: Episode I: Obi-Wan, with a planned release exclusively for PC) is a video game that came out on December 19, 2001 for the Xbox. It recounts the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi leading up to and including the events of the Battle of Naboo. A number of other Jedi, such as Adi Gallia, Eeth Koth, Plo Koon, Saesee Tiin, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Mace Windu, make appearances throughout the game. The game features villainous bosses including Darth Maul, a Trandoshan gang member, the Jin'ha Warrior Chief, and the War Chief of the Sand People.
Step into the shoes of the legendary Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi, as he confronts the worst of the galaxy's scum and villainy across numerous action-packed levels. In Star Wars® Obi-Wan™, you'll harness the Force and wield your powerful lightsaber as you battle a mysterious new foe, an assassin droid project, and a sinister plot that threatens to drastically alter the balance of power in the galaxy. Fight through a seedy underworld of munitions dealers and crime lords, from the depths of Coruscant and the sands of Tatooine to the opulent city of Theed. The Force is yours to command.
Embrace the power of a legend as you utilize Obi-Wan's impressive Force abilities, Jedi agility, and lightsaber skills across more than 15 levels filled with action.
Force abilities at your disposal include Force attack, push, pull, throw, defend, and jump.
Hone your skills in up to six two-player arena battles, where you can face off against Jedi Masters like Mace Windu, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Saesee Tiin.
An original storyline immerses you in encounters with both new and familiar enemies, from Tusken Raiders and assassin droids to the malevolent Sith Lord, Darth Maul.

There's a hidden Easter egg at the end of the credits after completing the game for the first time, which is a line-for-line parody of a quote from the film Trainspotting. Obi-Wan's voice delivers the following:
Then, the sound of an activating lightsaber is heard, and the game returns to the main menu. Unfortunately, this Easter egg cannot be viewed again when replaying the final level.
Within the game, the Quarren informant is identified as working for the Coruscant Guard. However, given the game's placement in the timeline, it's possible that it was referring to the Senate Guard. This has yet to be confirmed by an official source. If the player allows an alarm to be triggered, the Black Heth will execute the informant.
