Beware Hobo Obi-Wan!

So the company that did Timesplitters picked up Battlefront III and then went boobies up. Before they did they came up with an alternate Dark Side Obi-Wan, click the link and you'll see why the title is so bizarre.

Wow, that looks.....weird. Kinda cool, though.

I like it! Talk about your archetypal dirty old man!

My mental soundtrack just kept playing Jethro Tull's "Aqualung," though.

Yeah... but they were all rich men... or rich humanoids, with financial backing. I'm guessing hobo-Obi-Wan wasn't exactly rolling in the credits.

Obi-Wan wasn't exactly rolling in credits the whole time he was on Tatooine. He still managed to keep himself and his clothes neat and tidy, not a bunch of rags.

Well, that's because he used the Light Side - instead of Force Lightning, he had the ability of "Force dry-cleaning."

And he needed to maintain appearances so Luke wouldn't be offput by him. Now, not so much.

Naa, the term "Sith Lord" implies a certain degree of arrogance and vanity, that doesn't hold with the wearing rags bit.

Joruus C'baoth wore rags, didn't he? In Wookiepedia, he is regarded as an insane Dark Jedi clone of Jedi master Jorus C'baoth. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Joruus_C%27baoth

He did and he was. Note the words "insane" and "Dark Jedi". C'baoth was off his trolley, and wasn't a Sith, and therefore isn't the best example to use when conidering a "Sith Kenobi".

Okay, but is there a difference between a Sith and a Dark Jedi, or am I confused? :?

There's quite a significant difference. "Dark Jedi" is a term for any Jedi that's falled to the dark side (and is sometimes applied to any dark side Force user, including Sith). Sith, on the other hand, are not merely fallen Jedi, or dark side Force users, but followers of a specific religion.

Sith are on another level from Dark Jedi.
