Darth Vader was 45 when he died and he was a little younger then Obi-Wan, so what was Obi-Wan's age at death?

1It seems worth mentioning that Alec Guinness was 63 when he played the role of Obi Wan Kenobi. – Mike Scott Dec 09 '22 at 01:05

Obi-wan was born in 57BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). He died in the same year as the Battle of Yavin (0BBY), hence he died at the age of 57.

11Admittedly, depending on when his lifeday was, he might have been either 56 or 58 when he died. – Valorum Dec 08 '22 at 14:03
