Nope, his son. Ergo, Anakin's stepbrother, ergo, Luke's uncle.

Ergo? No.
yerssot, that's what I heard too, 30 years between I and IV. But look how old Kenobi is in IV. It would make more sense if it were 40+ years between I and IV

Sadly with Luke and Leia at 18 in ANH, and Anakin 10 years older in AOTC than he was in TPM, it is DAMN hard for it to be anything more than 30 years.
TOM
ToMaccoMr. Orange
Well, Lucas blew that one, because Kenobi was older than 55 in ANH. My dad is almost 50, and he looks a lot better than he did.
USH
UshgarakPaladin
Well, that's the way it is, To. Obi-Wan was originally envisaged as older in TPM, but in the end he wasn't.
The numbers I quote stand. Obi-Wan's looks will just have to be a matter of suspension of disbelief.
Besides, he was very stressed...
TOM
ToMaccoMr. Orange
Put that one in the plot flaw column😠

who the hell is ergo
(and no hell is not a bad word)
what if i said-
who the heaven is ergo...
thank you...DONT respond to that- respond to the first question

Just behind C3-P0s memory, eh? Because it is still uncertain if that one will be explained...
TOM
ToMaccoMr. Orange
Quit that. what' with this damned attitude here? Ush, are you stirring up trouble with the new guys?😄
USH
UshgarakPaladin
I have no idea.
Ergo isn't anyone, d8. It means 'therefore'.

What's wrong with Obi-Wan in ANH? He has white hair and that's all. It's not like he was a wrinkly old man.
YER
yerssotSenior Member
well, he is wrinkeled and old though...
TOM
ToMaccoMr. Orange
Yeah, he's pretty old.
KJ
King JediSausages
But not "Palpatine" old. I don't find it that hard to beleive that he is 55 in ANH.
YER
yerssotSenior Member
well, he is.... remember that Palpatine is already over 50 in TPM!
KJ
King JediSausages
Yes and Obi-Wan in ANH looks about the same age as Palpatine in TPM so what's the problem?😕
YER
yerssotSenior Member
so OB1 is old in ANH...
KJ
King JediSausages
Yes. But he looks like a 50+ year old.
YER
yerssotSenior Member
to be exact there is 32 years between TPM and ANH, taking that OB1 is 20 (I thought he was 22) that makes him 52, at least...

no, its his son, thus explaining how Owen is Luke's uncle.
