About this sound

✦ AI

Obi-Wan Kenobi's famous 'Hello there' greeting from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, used as a meme sound for surprise entrances and playful reveals.

This is Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi delivering his cheerful 'Hello there' line in a warm, confident tone, boosted louder than the film version for extra impact. The short greeting lands instantly because the delivery is polite, upbeat and slightly theatrical, which makes any ordinary entrance feel grand. Viewers recognise it in under a second and expect something clever or mischievous to follow. The contrast between the friendly words and a dramatic drop-in is what gives the clip its comic timing, turning a simple arrival into a memorable moment.

The line echoes Alec Guinness in the 1977 A New Hope, but this louder clip comes from Revenge of the Sith in 2005, where Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan drops in on General Grievous. Fans clipped the greeting and shared it across forums, YouTube edits and meme pages, where it became standard shorthand for a confident entrance. It remains paired with other Star Wars moments like Darth Vader reactions, and its polite tone works even for viewers who have not seen the films, which keeps the joke instantly readable.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place it right as your character, pet or avatar drops into frame, with no build-up before it. Let the louder volume peak on the reveal, then cut straight to the reaction shot. Avoid music underneath, it dulls the polite delivery.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Dropping into a friend's voice chat unannounced.
  • Revealing yourself from behind a door or box.
  • Starting a video with a surprise character entrance.
  • Replying in chat when you finally show up.
