20 Facts About Obi-Wan Kenobi We Were Looking For

There's an idea that to make an apple pie, you need to first invent the universe. To make a small, you need to make the all. As above, so below. All things are one. And so, to create an apple pie that people will remember and want to buy toys of, you'll need to create a movie universe -- the coolest or best or whatever. Sometimes you narrow in on a specific person, object, or thing to really get down to the nitty-gritty of who and what they are and do or make you feel or have given the world. This is that time. This is that place. This is that person/show/movie/thing. Here are some facts about Obi-Wan Kenobi, the best Jedi who actively questions orders sometimes.

But only sometimes. Other times he's just kinda chilling. (Figuratively, not literally, because he spends like 80% of his time on hot desert planets.)
