Jedi Knight, hero of the Clone Wars, busted for hit-and-run in
California
Tweet
The Dark Side has claimed another: Obi-Wan Kenobi was charged with
felony hit-and-run last weekend in Roseville, Calif., after fleeing the
scene of a five-car pileup caused by his reckless driving. No word on
whether Jar Jar was riding shotgun.
This particular Kenobi was born Benjamin Cale Feit but legally changed
his name to the unhyphenated variant so he could win a 1999 radio
contest pegged to Star Wars: Episode Iâ€"$1,000 to the first guy who
changes his name to Obi-Wan Kenobi!â€"and is now providing George
Lucas' empire with PR it didn't ask for.
Kenobi also had a previous petty theft warrant out, so his rendezvous
with the Jedi Council (i.e., the Placer County Superior Court) this past
weekend might not have gone so well.
