When Obi-Wan fights Darth Vader in Episode IV: A New Hope, he says:
You can't win, Vader. If you strike me down, I shall become more
powerful than you can possibly imagine.
What does he mean by that? Is it true? If it is true, why does he tell Vader?
Answer
He is referring to the fact that he will become one with The Force - a technique only a handful of jedi have learned.
As a 'spirit' he will continue to guide Luke, and thus become somewhat omniscient - subsequently becoming more powerful.
You might say as an older man, he had become physically weak, but once bonded with the Force he becomes greater than the sum of his parts.
