How Old Is Obi-Wan Kenobi in Each of His ‘Star Wars’ Appearances?

Although we first meet Obi-Wan in A New Hope only to see him brutally killed off, the character’s history has since been fleshed out pretty substantially.

Here is how old the wizard was across his onscreen appearances.

The Phantom Menace: 25

When we’re first introduced to Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan, he is an older Padawan near the end of his Jedi training, Obi-Wan, who was born in 57 BBY, is 25 years old in this film, and it’s clear from the way that he’s depicted that his training is not yet complete.

By the end of the film, we’ve seen Obi-Wan lose his mentor and closest friend, but we also know that he’s on his way to becoming the Jedi Master we meet in A New Hope.

Attack of the Clones: 35

Taking place 10 years after The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones features Obi-Wan after he’s become a Jedi Knight and taken Anakin on as his Padawan. Anakin’s training is not yet complete, but we also know that Obi-Wan’s isn’t quite yet either.

He’s wise enough to guide Anakin away from the passion and hate that is consuming Anakin and toward a different path, but he’s still learning valuable lessons from the likes of Yoda and Mace Windu. He may be a Knight, but he’s not ready to become a Master just yet.
