‘Star Wars’ Made Obi-Wan’s Home Planet Canon After a George Lucas Joke

Alec Guinness first played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy. Later, Ewan McGregor took on the role as a younger Obi-Wan in 1999’s The Phantom Menace. Both actors have portrayed the Jedi in three films each, but McGregor also returned to the character in the 2022 Disney+ series, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ultimately, both Guinness and McGregor played the same character at different stages of his life, and Star Wars has established that they share a common home planet.
