Though some would argue that Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series may have fallen victim to the House of Mouse and Lucasfilm's new obsession with stretching out their stories to fit the TV mould, the return of Ewan McGregor's beloved Jedi Master still brought with it a ton of heart-warming, fan-friendly developments.

But away from Qui-Gon Jinn's glorious long-awaited return and Hayden Christensen's comeback as Lord Vader, one element fans were undoubtedly hoping to be addressed or at least referenced over the course of Deborah Chow's six-part Kenobi show was still nowhere to be seen.

That being how Kenobi goes from looking like he's in his late 40s and still sporting much of his luscious brown hair colour, to suddenly being a white-haired space wizard who looks like he's in his late 60s in the time between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

Now, should Season Two of the series arrive on the scene in the coming years, there's every chance fans could see Kenobi be drastically altered by some sort of life-draining Force power at some point.

For now, though, the fact McGregor's Kenobi still looks absolutely NOTHING like Alec Guinness' version of the icon - with just nine years between the end of the show and Episode IV - is still a source of annoyance for many.
