11. Obi-Wan Kenobi

From a certain point, Obi-Wan Kenobi may be the best guest on our list. He put up with Anakin for thirteen years, so he’s bound to have the patience to put up with any younglings who will be joining you for the festive season. Speaking of the holidays, have you seen Obi-Wan’s Life Day sweater? It’s a shame Anakin wasn’t invited to your party, because the two of them got each other matching sweaters.

One of the main reasons we’re inviting Obi-Wan Kenobi is because he’s known for his dry sense of humor, which will pair nicely with the rest of the party we’ve assembled. Can’t you picture him attempting negotiations over who gets the last roll? Obi-Wan is also weirdly into those holiday crackers. No one asks questions about why he enjoys wearing those colorful paper crowns.

Obi-Wan is bound to keep everyone motivated to help clean up the mess after dinner, so we can get to playing games. We have a good feeling about it too. No Jedi mind tricks here, Obi-Wan plays games fair-and-square. He and Kanan will likely end the night in deep discussion about training Padawans and the Jedi way.

He is bound to charm your grandma, your uncle, your nieces and your nephews equally. He’s good with all ages and he seems like the type who would bring little trinkets to pass around to your younger family members. He’s traveled all over the place for the Jedi Order and he’s likely got his fair share of intriguing stories to keep them occupied with.
