The phrase belongs to the Star Wars films, but assigning it solely to Obi-Wan is inaccurate. The line is used by multiple characters, including Han Solo, so a quotation attribution should name the scene or speaker.
Source-backed author: Han Solo and other Star Wars characters
The sentence is spoken by more than one character; it is not uniquely an Obi-Wan line in the original trilogy.
Earliest traceable appearance in this record: 1977 film Star Wars (later titled A New Hope).
