"Obi-Wan Kenobi" reminds us that the Force is not always with us – and that's fine!

Salon  

Days before "Obi-Wan Kenobi" premiered, a meme circulated that features Ewan McGregor's mug next to that of Sir Alec Guinness – the two faces of the "Star Wars" universe's second most beloved mentor. And as the post's author points out, Obi-Wan Kenobi goes from Ewan – Generation X's cool boyfriend, star of "Trainspotting" and a series featuring him roughing it on motorcycles – to stately old Sir Alex in nine years. Obi-Wan Kenobi wields a lightsaber in "Obi-Wan Kenobi" The top "Star Wars" headline involves its fandom's latest wave of hate-mongering against Moses Ingram, the actor playing the Imperial Inquisitor Third Sister. But as we reconnect with McGregor in "Obi-Wan Kenobi," he's a lot closer to the age Guinness was in 1977, which means a lot of the original trilogy's generation is too.
