Anyway he is certainly a virtuous character, and he does stuff, but I always felt like he wasn't much more than a support for whoever the main character was. I really don't think that, despite the amount of screen time, that there was any kind of real exploration of his character.
OT: Guides Luke around, dies, continues to guide Luke. EP1: Follows Quan Chi around, and then once his master dies, Obi-Wan follows his wishes. EP2: When he's not off doing the Kamino/Geonosis mission, he's picking on Anakin. EP3: Hangs out with Anakin in the beginning, mostly involving complaining, then goes off to Utapau to swan about with Grievous, then the big showdown.
What does Obi-Wan want? What are his feelings on the Jedi as a whole? Why does he keep going? These things are never explored. I can't even recall them being explored in TCW. The best we can say is that he's a really good Jedi who is basically unshakeable until the end of ROTS.
There's plenty of stuff he does in the movies and shows, but I feel that makes him more of a blank video game protagonist than anything else.
Like it's fine if that's all he is, but I don't think it makes him a "good character".
He's the pure embodiment of what a Jedi "should be". Noble and wise, humble, and willing to take action if necessary. Dude shoulders the burden of the entire Jedi council for the most part, because they're too lazy to do things. Gets thrust into the position of raising Anakin after his master dies and takes it on as best he can, coming to love Anakin like a brother, but despite his best efforts he isn't good enough.
He takes L after L in service of the force and never stops trusting in it; his belief is unshakeable and thus he rises above his hardships. He's so sure of himself, the Force, and his place within the galaxy that he willingly steps into the path of a lightsaber blade.
He's far more than a list of accomplishments.
