"We cannot prioritize one lone Jedi."
"He is not just any Jedi."
―The Grand Inquisitor and Darth Vader[2]

The hunt for Obi-Wan Kenobi[8] was a hunt the Inquisitorius began for the fugitive Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as part of the Great Jedi Purge,[3] in 9 BBY.[4] Reva Sevander, the Third Sister, arranged for the capture of the young Leia Organa to draw Kenobi out after learning of his connection to Leia's adoptive father, Bail Prestor Organa, during the Clone Wars.[3] In truth, Sevander sought to use Kenobi as a means to get closer to Darth Vader, whom she wanted to kill for wiping out her fellow Jedi Initiates in the siege of the Jedi Temple.[7]

As a Jedi, Kenobi was wanted for the charge of high treason against the Empire and its predecessor, the Galactic Republic, as issued by Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine.[9] During the mission to Daiyu, a bounty was issued on Kenobi that would be paid upon confirmation of his capture.[5] Despite the efforts of bounty hunters, stormtroopers, Sevander, and Vader, Kenobi regained his connection to The Force and triumphed against the forces of the Empire. The hunt was eventually called off by Palpatine, who was worried about his apprentice's insatiable need for revenge against his former master.
