Kenobi family

The Kenobi family was a human family from the planet Stewjon. One member of the family was Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. As a Force-sensitive child, Obi-Wan was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, leaving his family to be trained in the ways of the Force.

During a mission to rescue Princess Leia Organa in the year 9 BBY, Obi-Wan recalled vague memories he had of his family before being taken into the Jedi Order, including a baby he believed to be his younger brother. Having joined the Order at a young age, Obi-Wan had all but completely forgotten his mother, father, and the baby by the time of his exile during the Great Jedi Purge and Imperial Era.

During the rise of the Galactic Empire, Obi-Wan lived on Tatooine and assumed the alias "Ben Kenobi," changing his given name in order to hide from the New Order. After his death in 1 BBY, Obi-Wan was remembered as a legendary Jedi. Ben Solo, the nephew of Luke Skywalker, was named after Obi-Wan.
