Well, he did always say that he hadn't used the name Obi-Wan since before Luke was born, and we assume Luke is born in the film... never sure how literally we were meant to take that, though.

He can't be that old in Episode 3 because it's only a few years later than in "Clones". But he grows to be a real "Old man" by the time of "A New Hope".
But the movie is supposed to be like 3 years later. I dont think Anikan could of waited that long to have sex. But then again hes forbidden to make love. Or is it just to love?
What a question! Emotional attachments and physical pleasure are both forbidden by the jedi creed. They are considered to be corruptible influences in a young jedi's training.
In episode 3 , it's going to say how he got the name Ben Knobi , but it did'nt say why he choose the name "Ben ", really . I can't wait to see the movie when comed out .

From Vader and the Emperor ya mean? yep that has to be the reason. I heard a while back, that Anakin calls Obi-Wan "Ben" for a nickname, but he's not amused by it, because he finds out Obi's real name is "Ben" so he teases him for it. Forget where i found that 1 from, probably some crap from Super Shadow!
Obviously they aren't forbidden to explore physical pleasures. Obi is a drunk. Everytime he gets in a bar he has to have a drink. So, since drinking is a physical pleasure, and Obi is a straight lace Jedi, obviously it ain't against the code.
Ever wonder why he lost so easily to Vader in ANH? Cuz he was soused to the gills!
seems a good reason lol, but its most probably because he gives up his Jedi ways, and didnt use it as much when he faced Vader. I mean look at Dooku flying about in his 80's. Im sure if Ben used the force, and still meditated during those lonely 20 years, he could've been a good match for Vader.
yeah he did
tho he still strolled around in his jedi cloak and kept the beard
NOT very discreet
IMAGINE THE SCENARIO
SECURITY BLOCKADE- a shifty looking man with a beard and jedi robes who looks like the well known and respected GENERAL KENOBI approaches
STORMTROOPER: LET ME SEE YOUR IDENTIFICATION!!!(sees the name BEN KENOBI)
You are under arrest OBI WAN KENOBI!!!!!!
OBI WAN: No your mistaken im BEN Kenobi
STORMTROOPER: Sorry......MY MISTAKE.....ok move along ,move along
AH BUT he wouldve used a jedi mind trick i hear you say
well in that case why change his name in the first place or is Kenobi the SW universes answer to the names SMITH,CHAN and PATEL?
