"It was, yes," Obi-Wan says. "As I mentioned, there are people in my galaxy who are born sensitive to the energy around them. We call it the Force and those who are trained to wield it are called the Jedi. The Jedi find these Force sensitive children and offer their parents the opportunity to have them trained on Coruscant."
He pauses, then says, "It's presented as a choice, but much like your adoptive father and your biological parents, I doubt it was a choice at all. The Jedi are legendary where I'm from and few would decline that offer, even if they wanted to keep their child with them."
Obi-Wan has no memory of his parents. He wonders about them at times, but it's been so long since he left Stewjon that he can't even remember what it looked like. How he lived.
