scratch it could have made a good story nicknames given in military my career are often uncomplimentary and teasing obi wan was pinned on me when i was a b 52 crewmember during the star wars craze 1977 the alec guinness role not ewan mcgregor such names do not often transition outside the military i was the oldest member of my crew as is ben in the movie but some thought me lucky and that the force must have been with me maybe so i d rather be lucky than good any day nicknames like maverick iceman goose rooster phoenix and hangman are assigned by peers from personalities mistakes or play
