Talk:Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends

Where does this planets of Obi-Wan's youth come from? Hopefully not Supershadow... QuentinGeorge 06:23, 18 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Upon further inspection, it did come from SS. Removed. Imperialles 21:20, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

What's the proof that Obi-Wan was born 57 BBY? I remember that the timeline of Behind the Magic put Obi-Wan's birth to 60 BBY. - TopAce
 * But that was a program made before the prequel trilogy, and more recent figures are supposely more accurate. -- Riffsyphon1024 20:40, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Obi-Wan is 25 in TPM. (as the official databank states). Alec Guinness was 62 during the filming of ANH, so the figure isn't that far off. (and as a sidenote, McGregor was 26 when they filmed TPM it's AOTC and ROTS which have the greatest actor-character age discrepancy). QuentinGeorge 04:35, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Improvement Drive
Suggested Additions
 * Events from the Jedi Apprentice series and Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan comics. (pre 32 BBY)
 * Events from Jedi Quest, Rogue Planet and Approaching Storm (32 BBY - 22 BBY)
 * Exploits from Clone Wars comics and Cestus Deception and Labyrinth of Evil novel. (22-19 BBY)
 * Anything from the Last of the Jedi series.

If you have any of these sources, feel free to add stuff.

I'm not sure in what piece of "Young Obi-Wan literature" it's featured, but isn't Obi-Wan's relationship with Siri Tachi worthy of more than a simple mentioning of her name in his page?
 * Definately. It's mentioned in the Legacy of the Jedi/Secrets of the Jedi duology. 59.167.63.130 21:05, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Accent
Where is it mentioned he spoke with a coruscanti accent? - TopAce 23:23 (GMT +1), 23rd August
 * ROTS novel. QuentinGeorge 21:32, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Basically, anyone who speaks with a "British" accent (ie Palpatine, Ki-Adi-Mundi, etc) is considered in the GFFA to have a Coruscanti accent. QuentinGeorge 21:32, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * The novel mentions his 'clipped Coruscanti accent' a couple of times, and I think other sources have mentioned it too - Kwenn
 * Well Ewan is scottish -Dark Lord Revan
 * Irrelevant, since we're talking about the character, not the actor. QuentinGeorge 04:39, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Born on Tatooine

 * The Star Wars Timeline Gold, which cites the Star Wars Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook, claims Obi-Wan was born on Tatooine, though this article says he was born on a planet of "plains and grasslands." I was just getting ready to add Tatooine to the template when I noticed it. So is there an explanation for this or is it just a simple contradiction among sources? MarcK 05:13, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * The Tatooine is from outdated pre-TPM EU Material. The "grassy plains" is the only description of his homeworld. You might retcon the Tatooine "homeworld" reference as being his post-ROTS "adopted" home. QuentinGeorge 05:49, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * The planet of "plains and grasslands" is from his memories in the Jedi Apprentice series. QuentinGeorge 10:05, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * I thought Obi-Wan was born on Coruscant. I the Revenge of the Sith book, it says he talked with a Coruscanti accent.
 * Accents can be learnt or get used to, you know. TopAce
 * A long time ago before KOTOR Tatooine WAS a planet of plains and grasslands, then the Rakata Destroyed it
 * Irrelevant, since when Obi-Wan was born, Tatooine had been a desert world for thousands of years. QuentinGeorge 04:38, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)


 * t says that in this article, that obi-wan was born on a planet of plains and grasslands, and it says that he was born on tatooine, maybe it was a typo, maybe it was dantooine and the writer mis took it for tatooine since it is better known, and dantooine is a planet of grasslands and plains,think about it. a source

Kenobi's Blade

 * In the YJA book with the above name, didn't Anakin Solo recover Obi-Wan's lightsaber? Can anyone confirm? QuentinGeorge 07:05, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

You mean his saber survived in ANH? I thought it was destroyed along with the first Death Star.


 * Yep. Vader took it from the robes and kept it close by as a memento (Guess Grievous wasn't the one only one who did that). -- SFH 01:29, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Legacy ......

Kenobi's lightsaber lay in Lord Vader's quarters during the Battle of Yavin. This fragment of the Death Star was eventually acquired by Ugors and transported to the Paradise Sector. Shortly after the bombardment of Dankayo, the Rebel crew of the Bonderium visited the wreckage and retrieved Kenobi's relic.

Apparently, the weapon was later recovered by the Empire, because a second group discovered the blade in Darth Vader's castle on Vjun.

In 22 ABY, Uldir, a classmate of Anakin Solo, stole the lightsaber in a belief that it would make him a great Jedi. Solo, along with his associates Tahiri, R2-D2, Tionne and the Jedi Master Ikrit eventually recovered the weapon and returned it to the Jedi Praxeum. -Dark Lord Revan

Idea changes
Two quick ideas: (1) the header quotation doesn't get across the spirit of Obi-Wan and (2) it would be great to see a Vader vs. Obi-Wan image from ANH towards the end. --SparqMan 18:17, 20 Sep 2005 (EDT)
 * Done the image. Any idea for a better quote? QuentinGeorge 06:07, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Photo's
Can we get a picture of Ewan McGregor next to the picture of Sir Alec Guinness for the main photo, since they both played him in the same number of movies? --sithlord123 11:20, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC) Good? Bad? Redemption 20:44, 12 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * There's plenty of Ewan photos throughout the article. QuentinGeorge 11:21, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Alec Guinness hated being Obi-Wan Kenobi
It is wildly known Alec Guiness loathed being Obi-Wan Kenobi and hated Star Wars. For Behind the Scenes, should this be included, or no? -- AronoBashkar 24:25, 5 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Really? If you can get a source for that, it should definately be in there. -- SFH 05:28, 5 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I do recall this, but it belongs in the actor article, not here. - QuentinGeorge 05:29, 5 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Must have proof, then we will discuss this. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:49, 5 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * "His role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the immensely successful original Star Wars trilogy brought him worldwide recognition to a new generation. However, he was never happy with being identified with the part. He would throw out any fan mail regarding Star Wars without reading it." - That's from the Wikipedia article on Alec Guinness. -LtNOWIS 02:47, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Sad really. -- Riffsyphon1024 13:38, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I really do understand him. It's annoying to have had a grand career as Alec Guiness only to be remembered as Obi-Wan Kenobi, a small role you played in a film in your later years. It really is. He was a gentleman during shooting though. --Master Starkeiller 16:50, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * It really should be understood that Guiness did not hate being Obi-Wan. He actually liked the character quite a bit, and enjoyed the opportunity to play a patronly sage. It was the entire Star Wars concept that he thought was (in his words), "rubbish". Liked the character. Hated the story.
 * Well, he hadn't seen the whole thing, had he? And what he REALLY hated was being thought of as "Obi-Wan Kenobi". It is infuriating to be identified with a part you play, trust me, I know actors that people meet in the street and start talking to them about a role they played, it's very annoying. Imagine people in the street calling you "Obi-Wan Kenobi". Now that Star Wars has become a myth, it is a compliment, but back then it was annoying. --Master Starkeiller 17:07, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Empire at War
In the Game Empire at War Obi-Wan fights along side the Rebel Alliance is this Canon?

Though it probably depends on the context, the answer is most probably no. Kenobi played no active role in the rebellion until a very short time in 0 BBY, and we all know about that. - Angel Blue 451 19:50, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Ben could be a clone
You can strangle me right now if you wish.

he could be a clone from a kenobi in the past Offensive, version B number 1 of Kenobi ^_-
 * Strangles anon. -- Riffsyphon1024 13:37, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Relation
did kenobi ever have any "relationships" with women?


 * Yeah man. He was a major pimp.--Xilentshadow900 22:13, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * He was in love with fellow Jedi Siri Tachi, and she was in love with him, but they never let it go anywhere. Whole "attachment is dangerous" thing. Why isn't there anything in the article about that? It's all over Siri's article. -- SFH 22:19, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
