Obi-Wan Kenobi is a human male Jedi Master, introduced in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope (1977) and played by Alec Guinness, then by Ewan McGregor from 1999 onward. George Lucas named Stewjon as his homeworld in a 2010 Star Wars Celebration interview; it has never appeared in a story.
The dutiful one
Where Qui-Gon questions the Order and Anakin defies it, Obi-Wan complies — and the best prose about him is about the cost of that. Claudia Gray's Master & Apprentice catches him as a padawan who wants rules to be reliable and is being taught by a man who thinks rules are a starting point. The Clone Wars fiction catches him as a general who is very good at a job he never wanted.
The Tatooine years
Nineteen years of exile is a gift to novelists, and canon has used it: short fiction, the Kenobi novel in Legends by John Jackson Miller, and the 2022 Disney+ series. The best of it resists the temptation to give him adventures. What is interesting about exile is that nothing happens, for a very long time, on purpose.
Two continuities, one man
Obi-Wan is unusual in that Legends and canon barely disagree about him. The prequels fixed his biography in place and both shelves have largely respected it. The differences are of emphasis: Legends is fonder of him as a wry soldier, canon as a man managing grief.
Reading note
If you only read one thing, make it a Clone Wars-era story that puts him next to Anakin at work. The tragedy of the prequels is legible entirely through how those two talk to each other when nothing important is happening.
