Master
Who does Obi-Wan train with after hiding Luke on Tatooine? Missing from that part. Edit: Foundit: Qui-Gon Jinn.
Rework sentence on duel with Anakin
Regarding the duel on Mustafar-- while it's true that Obi-Wan did cut off Anakin's legs and remaining original arm, that wasn't really what forced him to don the Darth Vader suit. His near-immolation, and all the smoke inhalation on top of that, was the icing on that particular cake. Anyone have an idea how to restructure that particular sentence, if you agree it needs restructuring? --ekedolphin 02:25, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
Age and relation of Anakin & Obi-Wan
Before the release of the Phantom Menace it seemed to me that Kenobi and Anakin were much closer in age, and that the inital impression I got was that the two were classmates. The way Kenobi spoke in A New Hope of Anakin seems to support that. It was only after the release of the new films that Kenobi became more of a father figure to Anakin. --JesseG 05:19, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I have to say that, based on how Obi-Wan spoke about Anakin in Return of the Jedi, Lucas always intended for Obi-Wan to be Anakin's mentor. Of course, Obi-Wan didn't mention it was Qui-Gon's idea originally, so that makes me think that Qui-Gon was added into the storyline later on.Bold textActually, in Ep. 1, the original storyline had Obi Wan discover Anakin. For purposes of the story, George Lucas decided to divide the origonal concept for Obi Wan into two characters...Qui Gon and Obi Wan.

Siblings
- Little is known of his birth family, though Obi-Wan does remember a brother named Owen. (No relation to Owen Lars)
Where did you get this information? The official Star Wars website says he has a brother, but doesn't name him. Are you sure this is canon?
- It says that he has a brother named Owen in one of the Jedi Apprentice books, A Hidden Past. Yes, there is no relationship to Owen Lars, I believe. -- KFan II
- The original version of Episode IV mentioned Owen as Obi-Wan's brother, I think, or at least implied it. The reference was removed for the special edition. --M412k 01:16, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
- It was in the radio adaptation of E4, and was later used in numerous books. The "no relation to Owen Lars" thing is a retcon meant to explain all the mentions of Owen in the Expanded Universe. --Ausir 11:08, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
Acting
Just a note of observation. Ewen acts as a young Alec Guiness as the young Kenobi including voice. I rather liked that. Dainamo 01:15, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Age
57 is not really an advanced age.
Homeworld
Where did this information come from about Obi-Wan coming from a planet called Pilegias? Should it stay? I was tempted to delete it immediately. --M412k 02:12, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
- I read about this "Pilegias" in the article about SuperShadow....it's just another lie....obi-wan's homeworld has never been revealed, as far as I know.
So, yes. Feel free to delete it... --PlatinumTracks 10:51, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
Should Obi-Wan's obvious explorations into the dark side be listed in this article. He draws on the dark side during his duel with Darth Maul as you can tell by his body language. He also acts with some dark side tendencies at other times. (Ep. IV Cantina scene) Maybe he should be listed as a Grey Jedi such as Qui-Gon Jinn?
- Uh...what he did in the cantina wasn't a darkside thing. Cutting off an attacker's limb is considered a Jedi tactic. It disarms (no pun intended) an opponent, but leaves him alive. --Kross 03:42, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
Obi-Wan does not ignite lightsaber first
"Interestingly, Kenobi advised Luke in the original trilogy that a Jedi never uses the force for attack, but only for knowledge and defense, yet in both his lightsaber duels with Darth Vader, he ignites his blade first."
This is simply not true. In Episode IV, when he sees Vader, Vader already has his lightsaber ignited. I suggest that this paragraph is either re-worded or removed.
