Hello there. If you’re reading this, you must be a Star Wars fan. Even if you’re not a die-hard fan, you would probably have heard of the name we’re discussing here.

The first time we heard the name ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ was in 1977’s Star Wars (also known as Episode IV: A New Hope), when Princess Leia sent a holographic message to the former Jedi (played by the late great Alec Guinness) with the immortal words ‘Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope’.
