What we know about his character

Update May 16, 1998


Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Trained by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, young Obi-Wan Kenobi is an excellent apprentice. His skills are already quite impressive, and Master Jinn is proud of his pupil's quick thinking and resourcefulness. He is not a Jedi yet, but his training is almost complete. His dedication to the Jedi way and the nobility of his character deeply honor the efforts of his mentor.
    In accordance with tradition for human apprentices, Obi-Wan wears his hair short and even, except for a long, thin braid, and a small ponytail. He has constructed his blue-bladed lightsaber himself, as part of his training. His shoulders are covered with the traditional Jedi cloak.
    Obi-Wan admires and respects Qui-Gon Jinn, even though there are times when Kenobi doesn't completely agree with his master's point of view. Young Kenobi's focus is beyond the moment, and he is inclined toward strict observance of the rules laid down by the Jedi Council.
    Obi-Wan's first meeting with the boy Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine sets him on a path of destiny that will have tremendous repercussions for the entire galaxy.

This Bio came from the back packaging of the episode 1 action figures. Along with the bios are Commtech chip lines that the figures say to one another. Only time will tell if the bios and the lines are real. These were posted on SirSteve's Star War Guide.

    "Although young and headstrong Jedi-apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi will become one of the greatest Jedi to ever protect the galaxy."
    Commtech: "The council have granted me permission to train you." ; "You will be a Jedi, I promise." ; "Do not delay the council Master, not again." ; and "I have a bad feeling about this."
    Interacts with Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn and Anakin Skywalker.

Ewan has told U.K. Television that he will appear in Episode 2 and 3.

Rumors say that Obi-Wan has a strange haircut. The top is spiky while at the back their are small pony tails. He has been seen in Pubs in England while filming the film with the haircut. Of course everyone who has seen him has laughed at him for how he looks. The Force.net has been good enough to uncover this picture of Ewan with that hair cut by "The Bothan Spy".

Ewan is an amazing young actor who looks like he has a bright future ahead of him. People say that he has the potential to be the next Harrison Ford because of Episode 1. Personally, I just love this guy and I really can't wait what films he will do after this film.
