Stewjon was a planet in the Deep Core that was the homeworld of Obi-Wan Kenobi, a male human Jedi Master. Between 32 and 29 BBY, Kenobi told his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, that he did not remember leaving his homeworld. Stewjon was also the homeworld of Tadd Marteens, a farmer who joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic after the Battle of Yavin.
The name of Obi-Wan Kenobi's homeworld was coined by George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars. At the Celebration V convention in Orlando, Florida, comedian and talk-show host Jon Stewart interviewed Lucas, and Stewart asked for the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi's home planet. Lucas jokingly replied that it was "Stewjon," a tuckerization of Stewart's name. The official StarWars.com Encyclopedia entry on Obi-Wan Kenobi later listed Stewjon as Kenobi's homeworld.
