The result is a melee of zany pratfalls and exaggerated mannerisms affected with a thin (and obviously feigned) veneer of British sophistication. Punctuating his dialogue with near-random shouts of "Jolly-O!" and "Good show, old chap!", the new Obi-Wan instructs legions of young Jedis in the mysterious ways of "the Foh-ss." In an ad-libbed scene in which Obi-Wan introduces his pupils to the lightsaber, Richards pulls his saber from his belt, activates it, and -- startled by the sudden brightness of the beam -- fumbles it wildly around the room, slicing through tables, chairs, and an occasional leg before finally regaining control of the slippery weapon. In another defining scene, Obi-Wan answers the doubts of his pupils by using his telepathic powers to crush a large tin of Beefarino. Dripping with tomato sauce, he raises an eyebrow in knowing triumph and moves to strike a heroic pose, but slips suddenly and collapses into a puddle of canned pasta.
