He’s totally humble, like a guy you could have beers with. Despite this, he is freakin’ death incarnate with a light saber. He isn’t afraid of anyone, defeats several of the most powerful bad guys in the universe, and he hacks off more limbs than anyone else in movie history.
I actually lost count of how many bad guys he’s either dismembered or sent to be “one with the Force”.That’s why I was completely saddened to hear that someone named Obiwan Kenobi had a run in with the law recently. It seems that Obiwan now lives in Roseville, California.
While driving in town, he was involved in a multi-car traffic accident. Unfortunately, Mr. Kenobi left the scene, and the police had to track him down at this home. It seems that this wasn’t his only problem with the law, as he also had a warrant for petty theft. He was arrested and booked following this incident.
Personally, I think the police are pretty darned lucky that he didn’t pull his light saber on them. Undoubtedly, they would have lost some limbs in the struggle to arrest him. Thankfully, he went along peacefully.The ever alert TORWars staff noticed that the picture in the Roseville Press Tribune didn’t look all that much like the Obi-Wan we all know and love.
There was also the issue with the subtle change to the spelling of Obi-Wan. We were suspicious. After a bit of research by your intrepid TORWars reporters, it seems there may have been a bit of confusion, and our hero’s reputation remains unsullied.
It seems that the gentleman who was arrested was originally named Benjamin Cale Feit. He’s not even really a Jedi. He changed his name to Obiwan Kenobi in order to win a radio contest several years back
A 37-year-old California man who had changed his name to Obiwan Kenobi was arrested over the weekend in connection with a hit-and-run that sparked a four-car chain reaction crash in March.
According to KXTV, Kenobi was behind the wheel when he allegedly hit two cars his vehicle was trying to squeeze between. The impact led to two other crashes. Police say Kenobi then sped away.
Kenobi was arrested on suspicion of hit-and-run causing injury Saturday, briefly jailed, and released on bail.
