Obi-Wan The Star Wars canon is murky on Kenobi’s chronological age. Sir Alec Guinness made his debut as Obi-Wan in the 1977 film A New Hope (then named Star Wars). Although Obi-Wan died in A New Hope, he came back for both Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace marked the return of Obi-Wan Kenobi to the big screen as part of the Star Wars prequels, starring Ewan McGregor in the role.
In both Attacks of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, McGregor returned to the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Disney+’s Obi-Wan Kenobi brought back Ewan McGregor’s portrayal of the figure more than 15 years after his fight with Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. Obi-Wan Kenobi’s age is one of the most perplexing aspects of the Star Wars narrative, and this is not helped by the fact that two actors have performed the role in live-action films.
When he died in Episode IV, how old was Obi-Wan?
At the time of Episode IV: A New Hope (set in 0 BBY), Obi-Wan was 57 years old. Obi-Wan, this time with Luke Skywalker in tow, comes to Leia’s aid when she requests it. This might be a little bit disturbing to know that the Actor who played Obi-Wan has died in real life too by Lung Cancer.
