Born in
57 BBY (before the battle of Yavin) he speaks with a Coruscanti accent. In his early years of being a jedi (actually Padawan or Youngling if you prefer) he was trained by
Yoda and due to unforseen circumstances he was switched to Qui-Gonn Jinn. (in fact a much more powerful jedi than obi wan)
Due to Obi Wans high leadership in the Jedi Council, and the other fact that discovered a clone
army that the Kaminoans are building for the Republic, He was quickly made a general in just that. He was made a war
hero as he went on to becoming one of the greatest Jedi Nights the council has ever seen.
Unfortunately he raises Anakin Skywalker as a Padawan.... and well you know
Kenobi rescues his former apprentices son Luke Skywalker. He sacrifices himself to save
Leia,
Chewbacca, Han Solo, and Luke.
Obi Wan uses the power he learns from Qui Gonn to come back and project himself as a hologram using the
force, and still mentors Luke.
