      It’s because he was in nearly every episode of Star Wars the clone wars and in rebels and in battlefront 2. So you have heard him more than Ewan like for example me I forgot how Ewan sounded cuz I was binging the clone wars

    Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan is a hidden gem within the prequels. However James Arnold Taylor definitely gets a honorary mention because he's SO GOOD at the voice. Cadence, mannerisms, the actual voice being nearly identical to the movie version. Props to both guys.

I do not like Lewis Macleod because he makes Obi-Wan sound as if he is in pain all the time. James Arnold Taylor did great, for me it is really hard to distinguish his voice from that of Ewan McGregor. Stephen Stanton I like because he again sounds like Sir Alec Guinness. Nick Jameson not so much. Seth Green doesn't have it. Of course Sir Alec Guinness was the first and arguably the best (at least in my opinion). The two or three before him sucked. Ewan McGregor is the other side of that argument for the best voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi. My personal favorite is Ewan McGregor.

    0:28 I played SW ObiWan a TON. The voice work in that game still cracks me up, the voice of QuiGon wasn’t bad, however.

    Alec Guinness is probably one of the greatest actors ever. I'm not just saying that because he was Obi Wan. During the production of the first Star Wars movie while people were losing faith in the project, Lucas was going over budget, certain special effects weren't working, equipment wasn't working, the overwhelming amount of stress, arguing, and just general lack of professionalism from the members of the cast. and crew, and the looming threat of having the entire project cancelled, Alec Guinness was said to have maintained constant professionalism, never complained, and never lost his cool. He was the only one who actually took the job seriously. It's ironic considering he said he hated Star Wars and that it was a terrible experience. It was supposedly his idea to kill off Obi Wan in IV because he couldn't stand it anymore, and that even years later he would be very hostile and lash out at fans when they would ask him about Star Wars.

    Stephan Stanton did a really nice Oldbi Wan Kenobi voice. Sounded much like Alec Guinness. I always felt a sense of safety and strength whenever I selected Obi Wan in Empire at War and he’d speak a line.
