How will the Kenobi series address this? Will they have some kind of space wizard showing up that ages Ewan McGregor up? There are only 19 years between ROTS and ANH. If the Kenobi series takes place a few years after ROTS, it's just going to make it even harder to believe. Is A New Hope still canon?

>lose all of your friends in the span of a few hours, have to fight your best friend and watch his wife die

That shit will age you fast, senpai.
Hot, dry and sandy climate can age a person like shit.
Yeah but I don't think the tv series will consist of him sitting around brooding. And it will be a few years after ROTS.So what gives. And why doesn't he remember R2 and says he hasn't heard the name Obi Wan in a very long time?
Episode IX time travel confirmed! Rey will go back in time to get Kenobi and they both travel further back in time to stop a younger palpatine! Rey dies and kenobi gets stuck in the past.
Droids are basically slaves in the SW universe, and your average person wouldn't give two shits about the glorified gps system his friend used two decades ago.
R2 helped him in several adventures
Will the show be monster of the week cartoon about Obi having to deal with problems on Tatooine whilst dodging the revenge driven assassin/secret admirer daughter of General Grievous?
Because I would DEFINITELY watch it if so
Uses the midi chlorides in him to forcibly age himself to hide from the empire.
R2 was a good friend
White people age like milk
>he doesn't remember R2
But he does, he's just holding back information, from a certain point of view.
No Toydarians on Alderaan.
Will they ever explain why Leia is able to remember her mother in episode VI when she died in childbirth? Does Leia remember being birthed?
Hires age like milk so that’s pretty believable
star wars autists who need everything to "align" and make sense should be put to death

Does depression make you age faster? I've been depressed for at least 15 years?
the force
>implying
Mouse and their jew directors need to be put to death instead, for nostalgia pandering and plots that don't make sense. Nu wars were a mistake from the the start (TFA).
I bet you're ugly because the depression made you age faster
But also I never smoke, take drugs, or drink alcohol and never go outside so get no sunlight.
if you think the Prequels weren't just as bad your brain is tiny
They had plotholes, but at least set up itself wasn't that bad. TFA just doesn't make sense. Instead of empire and rebels 2.0 you should have more smaller factions fighting each other.
Superior hispanic genes
Rich guy in a palace vs some hobo in the desert
Qui Gon's force ghost was teaching him how to become one with the force, just in case.
Edging with the technique, without going all the way to death, out of curiosity/boredom/sexual gratification, aged him up badly.
BAH-Bwahahaha! The retarded didn't think this through...
The twin suns age you really fast. Just look at Owen and Beru. Even Luke looks a bit old for 19 in ANH.
This is the obvious answer. That or force communion with Qui-gon that Yoda taught him drains a lot of energy.
There’s some bullshit in canon that addresses this on a few occasions. It’s the most square peg in round hole retcon but it’s acknowledged at least.
this isnt ridiculous for 20 years of aging and it was hard living in a mud hut on a twin-sunned desert canyon
No, not really. The Emperor's ploy for power and the convoluted creation of the clone army really doesn't make that much sense at all. Especially in the first movie with the occupation of Naboo.
The actual quality of the films from the dialogue to the cinematography is what is most important in judging film, not plot. The prequels are just as bad as sequels in this.
>not plot.
4U
But the live action Kenobi series will be set several years AFTER ROTS and he will still be played by Ewan. So it's likely only 15ish years pass between sexy young Ewan and old gray Alec.
They showed that Kenobi takes place 8 years after Revenge and 11 years before Hope. So people's bullshit explanations are bullshit. Unless they age up Ewan McGregor significantly for this, Disney will just ruin the lore even more than it already has.
If only there was some way to make Ewan McGregor look older than he was in 2006.
GET THAT JEDI COCKSUCKER
He appeared on their stage show and he looks way too young still. There is no way he's gonna be a fully gray haired wrinkly dude in 10 years.
>Ewan McGregor is 48
>canonically Obi-Wan is supposed to be in his 50s in A New Hope
>Ewan is the perfect age
>Alec Guinness was in his 60s and aged terribly
>Ewan is aging like fine wine, still looking like a 35 year old
They're going to replace Alec Guinness with Ewan using CGI in the OT aren't they?
Even Disney knows not to fuck with the OT any more than Lucas already has.
Which is why they're doing this Kenobi show in which they have to address the rapid aging.
They obviously just wouldn't give a shit. The only two Obi-Wan actors with nostalgia bux are Alec Guiness and Ewan McGregor, and the former is dead, so they go with the latter no matter what.
Do you think they will age him up significantly? I hope they do.
Do you actually believe that they will do anything about it? They couldn't care less about continuity lmao. People will still watch this shit because it has Star Wars in it.
>sunlight is bad
wtf
would you be american per any chance?
Sunlight from 2 suns and stress.
That's no way to treat a Good Friend™
White people age pretty drastically compared to non-whites. It's really not that weird for a 40 year-old white dude to look young and energetic but on death's door by 60.
They could easily and probably will say that him communing with Qui Gon caused him to age faster. Easy. But who cares Star Wars is fucking dead desu. I am not even excited for Skywalker shit
Never understood all the bitching about Obi Wans age gap between episodes 3 and 4. Lets assume he's in his mid 40s at the end of Episode 3, which is totally plausible. Luke grows from age 0 to age 20 something. That would make Ben Kenobi at least 60 years old, maybe mid 60s, if not even late 60s. Lots of men look terrible at that age, especially considering he lived in a desert planet under shit conditions under the hot sun for 20 years, all the while training even further as a Jedi.
Kenobi series takes place 8 years after Sith. So it will be only 11 years to ANH. And Ewan looks like a god.
It's because he botox'd his forehead. It looks really good, I wouldn't of noticed if it wasn't for my girlfriend. Nigga has no creases and his moles are gone.
Nice imgur filename.
will they put some old guy make up to cover his young guy make up? funny
I mean I dunno, but he looks younger than he did in RoTS
Why didn't they CGI Harrison Ford on the face of that no name actor who played Han in Solo?
They'll probably just add some grey to his hair and beard, maybe a few CGI wrinkles in post and call it a day
or superimpose alec guiness's face at 50% opacity
I can’t believe how many people in this thread think they won’t use makeup and prosthetics to bridge the gap.
Just digitally replace Alec with Ewan in the OT. We'd get more based Ewan Kenobi and Alec can finally rest knowing that he'll no longer have to he associated with space opera capeshit.
where's ma boy?
not as much as living in the desert with two suns
user...
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
It's been a while but I'm pretty sure Obi-Wan is racist against droids in the RotS novelization doesn't consider them worthy of his time and shit
Obi-Wan "Catch a droid, send it to the void" Kenobi
There's no reason they can't make a new IP for their bullshit if they don't want to do justice to Star Wars.
Based Obi-Wan "Avoid the droid" Kenobi.
I had no idea the top guy was in both movies, I dont even know who his character even is, I thought he was just rabbitfu's dad in R1

The trauma did a number on Ben. Severe PTSD and depression can age a person. He probably drinks heavily too.
>The Emperor's ploy for power and the convoluted creation of the clone army really doesn't make that much sense at all
Let me guess...u think it was "convoluted" because ol Mikey "Plinkett" Stoklasa played goofy music while explaining it.
The emperor's plot with Naboo made sense if you ain't a retarded Miwaukeean with 2 braincells. That wasn't the problem with the prequels. It was the directing.
Ben "That oil bath won't feel as good when it's filled with your robo-blood" Kenobi
Sideshow Collectibles has a figure that combines the two obi wan actors’ likenesses
Looks like Mark Hamill
I want to live to see the day when the mouse shutters this franchise because it's no longer profitable. I hope I don't have to wait long.
his hair turned white due to stress
But user, you've only been depressed for 5 years
>Why does "my" son look like HIM!?
explain how it makes sense then.
Obi Wan "If you're not human, you're not a crewman" Kenobi
obi wan looked so different in each prequel, they did a great job aging him up back then. don't see why it'd be a problem to just keep doing that
there's no way the solo guy could conceivably look like harrison ford in 10 years anyway, if they let that slide they don't really need to explain obi wan anyway
>ruin the lore
Lucas did that when he made Obi-Wan younger in TPM. He should have been the Qui-Gon character.
Ben "If it's manufactured, it won't leave unfractured" Kenobi
Ben "Nuking Geonosis would be absolute bliss" Kenobi
I have a good explanation, they're played by two different actors
Okay Plinkett.
That's not true. That guy you're replying to mentioned he looked different in each prequelmovie. He was played in all three by Ewan.
Obi-Wan "Come here my little friend (I'll smash that metal bell-end)" Kenobi
Ewan, your friends are dead.
-Bank Manager (the only man to know the Joker's real name)
Episode I should have featured our primary protagonist Obi Wan and his apprentice Anakin as the ages they appeared in Episode II. As cool a character as Qui Gon was, he didn't really add anything to the saga.
What does saga mean?
The story.
Have you heard of the saga of darth plagueis the wise?
