Is Obi-Wan Kenobi the brother
of Owen Lars?
This report comes from the Official Star Wars Site!
Answered by: Madame Jocasta Nu-Jedi Librarian
No. The two are from separate families with no connection through blood. Although a number of spin-off materials were published in 1983 and in subsequent years stating that the two characters were related, those materials were based on outdated and eventually discarded information. Owen Lars is the son of Cliegg Lars. Obi-Wan's parents are unknown, and he has little to no connection to them having grown up in the Jedi Temple. He is aware of having a brother, but very little information about that sibling has ever been published.
