Star Wars: 10 Things That STILL Don’t Make Sense
3. How Obi-Wan Kenobi Aged So Damn Quickly
One of the key happenings fans were hoping to see addressed over the course of Disney+'s recent Obi-Wan Kenobi series was what in the holy hell happened to the titular Jedi Master to make him go from luscious brunette-lock boasting space stud, to white-haired wizard in just under two decades.
Instead of shedding some light on how the Jedi who appeared to be in his mid-thirties during Revenge of the Sith ended up resembling a dude edging towards the end of his sixties in A New Hope, the series reached its conclusion (for now at least) with Kenobi still boasting a mane without even a flicker of grey.
Some have been quick to suggest that Ben's swift ageing may come about due to the character eventually being on the receiving end of a life-draining Force power, similarly to how Palpatine wound up resembling a battered vegetable after having his own Force-lightning deflected onto him in Revenge of the Sith.
Until said grey-hair-creating trauma makes itself known, however, this rapid ageing will continue to be filed in the "strange Star Wars mystery" category.
