The greeting first appeared in Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977, spoken by Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi to R2-D2. Ewan McGregor repeated the line in Revenge of the Sith in 2005, dropping in on General Grievous before their duel, and that confident delivery turned it into a widely shared reaction clip. Fans began using the moment for hellos, surprise appearances and mock dramatic entrances across forums, edits and streams, and the phrase has since become one of the most quoted Obi-Wan lines online.

Obi-Wan Kenobi says 'Hello there' from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, a short voice clip used for greetings, reveals and comedic entrances.
This is Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi delivering his famous greeting, Hello there, with a calm smile and perfectly timed pause. The line is warm, polite and slightly playful, which makes the short clip instantly recognisable even without the scene around it. The voice is clear and friendly, sitting right at the start of a confrontation, so it feels both welcoming and confident. Viewers hear it and expect something clever to follow, which is why the sound works so well dropped into an unexpected entrance, a surprise reveal or a friendly ambush in a video.
