Alobar, my alter ego screen name, is a warrior/king from a Tom Robbins novel called Jitterbug Perfume.
The tradition in his tribe was, that at the first signs of age, the young males would slit the king's throat.
This didn't really suit alobar, so, with the help of his favorite consort, he staged his death and made his escape down the road. as he walked along, he proudly stated to no one in particular that he had defeated death and wouldn't die, and, for the next thousand years, he didn't.
He went from young, warrior king to wizened old sage.
Ben Kenobie is spiritually the same warrior turned sage. It seemed consistent.
