Jedi's aren't celibate although romance is looked down upon by the council as it is seen as a distraction. The Jedi fight for peace and justice and love comes into that.

Re: malastare
Malastare was mentioned because it was a planet Lucas made up long ago but it was never spoken of in the OT. God forbid GL has people mention planets he didn't invent. As for it being Ob1's home planet I doubt it, they wouldn't mention it unless it fit into the storyline, and there won't be time for that.

Malastare
Noting Malastare because of the pod races, doesn't imply anything towards the birthplace of Qui-Gon and/or Obi-wan. Malastare is known galaxy-wide for pod racing, refer to the offical site www.starwars.com

Qui Gon etc...
I heard somewhere males who marry on Tatooine take their wife's name, going back to the original disscussion. Also, I suspect Obi and Qui were born on Coruscant, as Qui Gon said something like 'he and every other Jedi he knew were born in the Republic', in the novel,so itis most probably Coruscant, or maybe a new planet we will see in Episode II or III.

Re: Qui Gon etc...
The Republic was pretty big Tom, millions of planets were under it's rule. Those two could have been born anywhere.

Re: Qui Gon etc...
True but I think such well-known Jedi would be born in the Core Worlds: Coruscant, Abregado-rae, Alderaan, Chandrila, Kuat, Ralltiir. Only other sectors logically fitting a bithplace in my views are the Corellian Sector and The Colonies.

Re: Qui Gon etc...
I posted this a while ago but still don't really have an answer. Do any of the knew people know where he was born?

Re: Qui Gon etc...
I don't, but in my opinion it's irrelevant to the character.

Hence Lucas considers it irrelevent.

Re: Qui Gon etc...
Isn't this one of the things that has always been off limits for writers because Lucas didn't want them messing too much with OB1's background?

Re: Qui Gon etc...
That's very true Dim. UBH, did you notice that Minok responded on this topic? I think if you did some EZBoard/IP address research you could find him.

I doubt Minok is returining, sadly enough. If you check his profile the most recent post was July 27, almost a month ago.

Re: Qui Gon etc...
I think Obi-Wan was born on Alderaan now. He is supposed to be good friends with Bail Organa and so maybe they have known each other all their lives. It would also make the scene when Alderaan is destroyed more important, especially when Obi-Wan feels that something terrible has happened.

Re: Qui Gon etc...
Yeah but he doesn't feel especially sad about it...
As for OB1 and Bail, I think they develope a friendship during the Clone Wars. If OB1 is from Alderaan he wouldn't have known Bail anyway since he was taken by the Jedi as a baby...

Re: Qui Gon etc...
I agree with Dim. No toddler-related kinship is between OB1 and Bail, just the fact that they worked together during the Clone Wars. Also OB1 is a jedi, of course he can sense something terrible that's happened. Maybe if he became "weak in the knees" or had exceptional feelings for the incident than that could be apparent.

Re: Qui Gon etc...
But don't you think that it would make that scene even more important if it was Obi-Wans home planet? Saying Obi-Wan didn't seem that sad is true but that's something that's always bothered me about Star Wars. Owen and Beru are murdered and Luke isn't that sad either. He is more sad when Ben dies even though he hardly knows him. And Leia wasn't that sad when Alderaan was destroyed. What's wrong with these people?

Re: Qui Gon etc...
Going back about 15 posts or so, as you bring up the subject of deaths. If Obi-Wan and Owen were brothers, wouldn't it be likely that he would have "felt" his death? After all they would have been in relatively close proximity as the time that the Stormtroopers killed Owen and Beru.
I know he could have ignored it in Lukes presence but still...
Also, I like the idea of Obi-Wan coming from Alderaan, it would make the destruction sensing scene all the more meaningful for his character.

Re: Qui Gon etc...
Notice how Luke said that then right after Obi-Wan "Don't go luke!!" Why would he say that unless he knew that this had happened, I think he Knew from the start of that whole Sandcrawler scene.
