Behind the scenes
"This is one of the first things I wrote in the very first script. He comes from the planet Stewjon."

- George Lucas, joking about Obi-Wan Kenobi's planet of origin

The name of the planet Stewjon was coined by George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars. At the Celebration V convention in Orlando, Florida, comedian and talk-show host Jon Stewart interviewed Lucas, and Stewart asked for the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi's home planet. Lucas jokingly replied that it was "Stewjon," a tuckerization of Stewart's name. The official Star Wars Encyclopedia entry on Obi-Wan Kenobi now lists Stewjon as Kenobi's home planet.
