George Lucas names the planet of Obi-Wan’s birth after Jon Stewart
Sure, he has shit repeatedly on our childhood and his own legacy in the last dozen or so years. But every now and then, Lucas does something pretty damned cool. :)
At the Star Wars Celebration V this year, Jon Stewart asked George Lucas where Obi Wan Kenobi was born, and apparently this had never been established. So as a joke, Lucas just made up a planet called “Stewjon”, named after Jon Stewart as the place of Obi Wan’s birth. But since it came from the neck of Lucas, it’s since become canon, appearing everywhere as fictional fact.
