It was the fumbling idiocy of an ego soaked moron poorly casting A listers to boost box office sales instead of making a good film that created the illusion of an age gap. I just chalk up ep 1-3 as a dream in some drunkard's mind and refuse to accept that they exist. | |

| Jun 10, 2015 at 1:13 | comment | added | Mark Reed | Sir Alec Guinness was 61-62 during principal filming of Star Wars. The timeline has Obi-Wan as 57. That's not a huge discrepancy. | |

| Mar 1, 2012 at 1:29 | comment | added | Keith Thompson | Alec Guinness was 63 when Star Wars was released in 1977 (and would have been slightly younger during filming). Ewan McGregor was 34 when Episode III was released. If we assume each actor portrayed a character of exactly his own age, that implies a gap of 29 years -- which is close to Mark Hamill's age of 26 when Episode IV was released. Apparently both Alec Guinness and Mark Hamill were portraying characters significantly younger than they were. | |
| Mar 1, 2012 at 0:26 | comment | added | Izkata | @Kevin And 57 is -exactly- the right time frame (3 years off) for Slytherincess's estimate of him being ~35 at Luke's birth, and Luke being ~19 in A New Hope. | |

| Feb 29, 2012 at 23:38 | comment | added | Kevin | For the record, Obi-wan was 57 at his death. Not young, but, as you say, not as old as he looks. | |
| Feb 29, 2012 at 23:35 | comment | added | Jack B Nimble | Using the force, like the addict that he is, ages you immensely. Take a look at Yoda, a man in his mid forties, who looks like he has been around for 800 years. | |
