Obi-Wa...Um... not sure what the author is thinking. Obi-Wan fought Anakin because he killed all the Jedi. It wasn't some clash of ideals. Anakin clearly embraced his murderous dark side.<br /><br />Obi-wan clearly implies that he knew Anakin and Padme were in love to Mace Window - probably all the other jedi masters knew as well. They didn't know that they were married and making babies, but they turned a blind eye to lots of things (as long as Anakin didn't break his vows) because he was "the chosen one."<br /><br />An Obi-Wan lovechild would not necessarily be out of character. After all, Obi-Wan admits that if Satine had asked, he would have left the jedi order for her. But it would be a very awkward retcon. Their story heavily implies that they never confessed their love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-63091531987261253692014-05-21T19:22:08.039+01:002014-05-21T19:22:08.039+01:00I have often speculated about similar theory's...I have often speculated about similar theory's...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241097464889526053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-75336183019768627442014-05-21T19:13:10.237+01:002014-05-21T19:13:10.237+01:00Ahsoka wasn't Obi Wan's padawan she was An...Ahsoka wasn't Obi Wan's padawan she was Anakin's. but i realy would be interested in seeing more of her.

While I doubt that he fathered a child while he was part of the Jedi Order, but after it's fall... <br /><br />"I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father."<br /><br />That statement takes on a whole new meaning if he fathered a child on Tatooine. "Mos Eisley Spaceport; You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy". I wonder how Ben came by that opinion. If he felt some mixed feelings, or even shame about visiting that port, that would contribute further to his isolation from both Luke, and the rest of Tatooine. He doesn't even have to know about his child to carry some guilt over breaking his vows. <br /><br />If done right, it makes him a much more interesting and complex character, and a daughter whom he didn't know about, but who spent her life trying to find her father, could be an incredibly cool addition to the universe. <br /><br />I look at the idea with guarded optimism. <br /><br />Doctor Mobiushttps://www.flickr.com/photos/doctormobius/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-18313232103237787372014-05-20T10:35:05.417+01:002014-05-20T10:35:05.417+01:00Jedi are outlawed because of the horror of Anakin....Jedi are outlawed because of the horror of Anakin.

Sounds to me as though he no longer considered himself a Jedi by the time his story picked back up in ANH. And he was familiar enough with Mos Eisley and that particular cantina that we can assume he'd not just been sitting in his hovel tugging thoughtfully at his beard for the past 20 years.<br /><br />Personally, I would rather they not continue the "What a small galaxy!" thing from the PT by having some heretofore unknown granddaughter of Obi Wan's turn up in the ST. But I certainly wouldn't see much of a continuity problem if they did go that direction.

As soon as it became clear that Mace Windu would be portrayed by an Afro-American actor, there were speculations that he would turn out to be Lando Calrissian's father (only one black family in the galaxy, apparently!) No, everyone is not related to everyone else! The franchise has already strained credibility by involving BOTH of Luke/Leia's parents in the creation of the Empire. (Amidala proposed the fatal vote of no confidence that removed Valorum and made Palpatine chancellor, and we all know what Anakin did ...)

The Jedi were dogmatic and blind. Maybe not always, but by the time if the prequels, certainly. Obi-Wan is a diehard. He believes the Order was something it wasn't.
