I love how Star Wars names coming from comedic late show hosts is a thing (Stewjon from Jon Stewart and Conan Antonio Motti from Conan O’Brien). I await when we’ll get a future Jedi named after Jimmy Fallon or a capital warship named after Arsenio Hall.

With fact 32, I wonder if there has been a change at some point. I’ve been reading Master & Apprentice and in Chapter Eight, when reacting to the story of Rael Averross being identified as Force sensitive at five years old, Obi-Wan say “I was brought in late, and I was only three.” Doesn’t bother me at all, cause not even the story group can catch every little thing. Only stood out since I just finished that chapter yesterday

@CouncilCape897 2 года назад

I noticed this video mixes up Legends and Disney Canon information without specifying which continuity each fact belongs to. But at least that particular fact doesn't affect any story, so it doesn't bother me either.

@storiesbydarksaberlight1517 2 года назад

Master and Apprentice states that Obi-Wan was several years old when he was taken to the Jedi Temple. He mentions this was older than most younglings.

@MCLegoboy 2 года назад

Missed opportunity to say that when Obi-Wan was undercover as Rako Hardeen, he already had the codename of Ben to keep his identity secret. That was a great moment of fan service that actually had a place in the story. Is it the origin? I'm not sure, but I like to think it is.

@kenji6492 2 года назад

I think “Ben” is attributed as a nickname from Satine when they were on the run together. He reused it as Rako because nobody but him knew the significance of it.

@storiesbydarksaberlight1517 2 года назад

Satine gave him the name Ben way before the Rako Hardeen incident

@Batbird74 25 дней назад

Why wasn't a Padawan assigned to Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars? Was it just that Ahsoka was exceptional and they risked her being trained during the war? It seems that padawans often follow their masters into dangerous situations frequently - why would war be any different? Obi is my favorite Jedi (despite his faults) and I think he would have done well with another Padawan.

@gasaholic47 2 года назад

As anyone who has taken a Japanese martial art knows, the Japanese word "obi" refers to the belt of rank a student wears around their "gi," or uniform. Whether or not Lucas chose that word for Obi-wan's first name as a subtle reference to a Japanese swordmaster is anyone' guess. And, I'm actually reading 'Master and Apprentice" right now, so it will be interesting to see what that incident regarding the starfighter turns out to be.

@DarthK1tteh Год назад

Actually, I learned what "obi" was from doing crosswords where the hint was often just "kimono sash" and I solved the other words that crossed it. I actually thought it meant ribbon because that's that the kimono belts looked like to me, especially with the huge bow at the back, lol.

@gasaholic47 Год назад

@@DarthK1tteh It’s probably both. I took Goju karate for 4 years, and was taught the belt was called an obi.
