The first time we saw this Jedi he was introduced as Ben Kenobi. At least Luke Skywalker called him this way in the first Star Wars Episode of the year 1977. The rest of the story of part four of the saga is ledgendary. Obi Wan proofs the fact that he is a hero until his death. The final confrontation with his former pupil Anakin Skywalker, who became a strong warrior for the dark side of the Force named Darth Vader, allows the escape of Luke Skywalker and his friends from the Death Star. As the old Jedi notices, that the rebels will be secure, he vanishes. Why? Actually I don't know. But even people, who know more about the science fiction epic of George Lucas, discuss the reasons for this kind of suicide. I think at www.jedi-net.com you can join this discussion.
But you may still wonder, why there is this young guy on the picture above. This is Obi Wan Kenobi at the age of twenty-five, how you can see him in Star Wars - Episode I, the Phantom Menace. Ewan McGregor plays the young Jedi.
