The clones feel they should be slightly insulted by this man so casually remarking on Their General’s height, but at the moment Ghost Company is a little more concerned about this talk of mothers.Īnd within the next three hours the lot of them have been unceremoniously adopted into the sprawling Kenobi clan, simply by the Old Kenobi throwing open a door in a hill and bellowing, “Welcome to the Warren!”Ī few Jedi wonder, when Kenobi and the Ghost Company finally turn up again, why they’re all sporting thick beards and bantering in a regional accent they do not recognize, and some find themselves asking what’s prompted Kenobi to wear his robes over his armor in a fashion more like a kilt at times, but they never quite get a real explanation out of any of them. “Well,” says the giant, “Yer mother’ll be pleased to see ye at any rate. Obi-wan senses something familiar about the man, but is a little distracted at the moment, scanning the skies for Separatist scouts, and so he only manages a polite, “I’m sorry?”Īnd then finds himself staring up at this very rough, weatherbeaten face that is suddenly much closer to him than it was before. “About time ye showed yer face around these parts, lad,” he thunders, and half the clones jump and put a hand to their blasters while the other half are still in awe of his beard. And this absolute giant of a man stomps up out of a glen, looks them over, scratches his gigantic beard, and then nods to himself. Maybe they needed rations or maybe they were hiding from Separatists, who knows. Imagine it being the middle of the Clone Wars, and Obi-wan and his gang of clones happen to land on Stewjon for whatever reason. I think my favorite one is “he has a giant network of extended family, all of whom are large, formidable Celts and Obi-wan does not know what to do with this information”. I like to imagine all sorts of crazy variations of “what are Obi’s parents like”. That makes me wonder whether the parents in his vision were his, or Shmi and Cliegg. That has recently been revealed to be a vision of the future, not the past, and he was seeing Owen Lars as a brother because his bond with Anakin would make them sort of family. Such is the power of the creator, I suppose.Like, I know in the Apprentice books they mentioned that his parents were farmers, but that was also the scene where he has a vision of his “brother”, Owen. I found the fact that an offhand comment by Lucas changed the past of a major character like this fascinating. The planet Stewjon now also has an entry on Wikipedia, along with characteristics gleaned from scenes in books, some written before the planet was named. An entry was added to the database, used internally by Lucas Licensing to keep track of the Star Wars universe’s characters, locations and more. This was confirmed by official Holocron Continuity Database manager Leeland Chee. It’s on playing cards, in books, everything published since then that references his home planet. This is referred to by uber fans and Lucas’ employees as ‘G-canon’. Unfortunately, everything that Lucas says about Star Wars, whether it is back story, a characters name, a planet…anything, is automatically considered ‘canon’ or correct. Ha ha, very funny right? Lucas was obviously joking, using a Tuckerization of Stewart’s name.
