41, rebirth

When Qui-Gon died on Naboo, the old Holy Man that had officiated the cremation spoke of life after death. He had called it 'Ben-oni'.

Perhaps even then, Obi-Wan had already chosen the name.

Obi-Wan had died twice in his life. The first was after his Master had left him, and his life as a Padawan had ended with blood and tears. The second was after his Padawan had left him, and his life as a Master had ended with ashes.

Ben the Jedi – Jedi only in the most fundamental definition of the word – had never died.

That was another story.
