Spirit5960 Welcome to FanForum and to the Star Wars board.

Obi-Wan Kenobi goes to the name "Ben Kenobi" when he gives Luke to Owen and Beru, to hide his identity from the locals on Tatooine, and so he can watch over Luke in absolute secrecy. But basically, he's been "Ben Kenobi" for about 20 years, when you first meet him in A New Hope.

The link that stephanie has provided you is quite helpful, if you'd like a more detailed answer.

Just because I don't have your SW knowlegde doesn't mean I can answer anything.

Your sense of humor is lost on those who aren't studing the ways of the Sith

Well, to compare Jerry to a child, is an insult to children...everywhere!

Apparently not much....you need to work on that sense of wit....it's a bit dull.

Once the Sith’s were defeated by the Jedi, I know that they hid, and that there were always only two Sith’s, a Master and an Apprentice, but once Sidious/Palaptine and Anakin/Vader rose to power and ruled the galaxy, were there more Sith’s then? Or were Sidious and Vader still the only two Sith’s?

There's a Dark Lady of the Sith, Lumiya
who is training Anakin's grandson, Jacen Solo in the Legacy of the Force book series.

I think, and Jerry will know this for sure, that her character was created back when Marvel was publishing SW comics.

There's more about her in the link.
