Guys, is it just me or was anyone else baffled that when Darth Vader fights with Obi Wan in a New Hope that Obi Wan's robe seems to be indestructible? The lightsabre cut off an arm! It burns holes through trade federations doors! Yet when it passes through Obi-wan's robe, it just sort of pushes it to the side and little. That robe should be aflame! What was it made of? Is there an EU book that explains the mystery of Obi-wan's robe?

More importantly, why did he never stop wearing his official Jedi uniform while he was supposed to be in hiding

Official Jedi uniform is the asbestos robe over Stormtrooper armor, no helmet

For completly unrelated reasons I'm looking at that exact scene in the script and it's written as being in two pieces there. Maybe it just didn't film well.

It's made of type-14 duracloth which as we all know allows lasers to penetrate it but does not lose its coherence when struck which makes it pretty useless as armor, which is why the stormtroopers wear flexiplassteel that blocks the lasers but kills you anyway Turns out armor making is hard

I can't find it now, but the original take where Vader cuts him in half exists out there and it looks goofy as hell, although the robe does burn a little.

The robe was a sentient being, there's an entire EU Novel about it called "Threads of Fate" or something.

We don't know. We never get to see the robe worn afterwards. It just falls about into a pile -- could be into a million pieces for all we know.

I read those three Halo books when I was horrible little teenager and I don't remember that at all, I must've suppressed the memory to protect myself.

And then Vader just stamps on it with his foot like he thinks Ben just got real small and hid somewhere inside it. Probably some one of the storm troopers had to pick it up and send it to the trash compactor.

I think they already had become Jedi robes in the books and video games in the 90s though.

Everyone wears robes but only obi has that indestructible one. I want to read a story about it and what it gets up to before and after. I hope it is called “Robe, he Won’.
