This Will Be a Day Long Remembered.


Obi-Wan Kenobi ‘s demise is a defining moment in the stormtrooper-led fight against terrorism, a symbolic stroke affirming the relentlessness of the pursuit of those who turned against the Empire at the end of the Clone Wars.

He had been living under the alias ‘Ben’ Kenobi for some time.
