I do remember once hearing a theory that Mara was Obi-wan and Siri's love child. Can't remember where, though. And it's almost impossible now, with how that one YR book played out.

Does add a new level of meaning to "Ben Skywalker", though.

Numbers also don't work with Mara as Obi-Wans and Siris Daughter, as she was born in the second year of the Empire.

OK, so I read through this thread and it's very interesting. While I don't think this will happen, I thought up, what I think is, a pretty cool story idea. At first I was thinking about Siri, but then read in the wook that she died in the Clone Wars (I'll admit that I did not read the books she was in as I'm not a big fan of the prequel era books). And someone else mentioned Satine...

So...in RotS, Yoda laments that he failed the jedi (that could be taken as that he failed to defeat Sidious, and/or that he failed the jedi order with his leadership). He also learns how to "commune" with Qui-Gon Jin, who is "one with the force". Yoda also tells OB1 that he has some lessons for OB1 before they both go into exile. One of those lessons is obviously to "commune" with Qui-Gon, who will teach both Yoda and OB1 how to become force ghosts. Another lesson could be that Yoda has come to the conclusion that some of the jedi code (i.e. relationships) needed to be changed. After these lessons, Yoda goes to Dagobah and OB1 delivers Luke to the Lars on Tatooine.

I believe there are books, young readers, that depict OB1 leaving Tatooine at times during the following 18 years while he is watching over Luke. With the upcoming "Kenobi" book, we're told that OB1 has to learn how to stop being OB1 and become Ben. We don't know what that really means, but we know that he at least has to hide from the Emperor and Vader...which I'm assuming will mean that he doesn't act like a jedi anymore, or at least in public and possibly even learns how to hide his presense in the force (but, since Vader senses him on the Death Star, I kinda doubt that one). So, at some point within the first year or so after RotS, either "Ben" goes off of Tatooine and somehow meets (whether intentionally, or by accident) Satine, or she somehow finds him on Tatooine, but either way they "get together". There are a few options here. One being that they stay together on Tatooine helping him to not appear as a jedi and even possibly following what Yoda told him, but something happens to her and he assumes her dead, or it is a short term relationship and she leaves. She then has a child...a daughter. Some time later, somehow, Palpatine or someone in his employ, discover that Satine's daughter is force sensitive and he/they kill Satine and take the daughter to train as one of the Emperor's Hands, changing her name to Jade. At some point, through the force, Qui-Gon learns of this child and tells Yoda.

This could give new meaning to force ghost OB1 and Yoda's lines in ESB:

OB1: "That boy was our last hope."
Yoda: "No. There is another."

Of course, in RotJ, OB1 tells Luke that "the other" was Leia, but OB1 may not have yet known about his daughter. Hey, it's possible. And, since Luke was able to redeem his father and Anakin throws Palps down the shaft (which I believe means we could see Palps back in the ST...why? Because we got Maul back after he was bisected and fell down a shaft and Luke dropped himself down a shaft and survived and we know that GL likes to repeat themes/ideas), there was no need to count on Mara, daughter of Kenobi, as the other hope.

Later on, after marrying Luke, Mara could have discovered the identity of her parents...hence...Ben Skywalker...the legacy of the Skywalker and Kenobi line.

Again, I doubt this would happen, but it's cool to consider.

Well, thanks to TCW, this idea is out the window. Oh well.

I think it would be awesome if Obi-Wan's son/grandson showed up post ROTJ.

With the upcoming standalone movies about various characters, this may happen. Even if it's a throwaway line in someplace, it's fun to think of the sense of 'Jedi history' being pampered like that.

A Mandalorian Kenobi has all kinds of possibilites.

Heck, maybe even Korkie......
