I think the cancer scare was a different set of lumps. The ones on his forehead were just normal skin bumps from that I’ve heard, like the ones most older folks have.
Those look more like sebaceous cysts which are generally harmless but you can get them removed. Some people are prone to them. I have a couple under my hair that have been chilling there for decades.
IDK if this is common knowledge here, but McGregor has a history of getting cancerous moles removed from his face dating back to like 08'. While i get this is a meme, that's probably where those bumps went.
Damn you guys are knit picking the hell out of his character. I saw someone saying that they thought his voice doesn’t sound the same as the prequels like chill out lol just be happy that we’re getting this show made
If I remember, it was a topic during filming of episode 3 whether or not to remove them as Alec didn't have them. At the time they chose not to. Seeing this gets closer to the OT and CGI being what it is today, it was probably a no brainer this time.
He removed them so people wouldn't recognize him
Shaved them off with a lightsaber
Inquisitor 1: "Hey that guy looks like Kenobi!"
Acquiring the name Ben Kenobi and minus 2 moles = totally anonymous.
It's like 3PO's red arm
"Hey its that Jedi!"
He put them back on when he want to reveal himself as a jedi like Clark Kent do with superman
He's in hiding from the Empire, so he doesn't want to be spotted

Pretty sure those were skin cancer spots that Ewan has since had treated

No. I believe the skin cancer mole was the one below his right eye

This is some Greco-Roman myth shit right here. I love it.
If I had money I’d give you an award. This was gold. Lol
That feels like some mythology creation myth
Those came from the stress of putting up with Anakin's shit.
It’s gonna be nice to have a series of Obi Wan just hanging out with no stress.
The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be.. un natural
What are those spots?
You saw the plastic surgeon in the boba fett series? Well that's what happend
Thundercat gave him a cyberkinetic forehead
They turned a 40 year old man into a 60+ year old with veneers. MAGIC!
He’s living a less stressful life now so his skin isn’t breaking out anymore
That is an interesting story that will require a tie in series of 5 novels.
Nah, he was just tired of having an 8 on his forehead.

"You believe that, or is that what you were engineered to think?" -Fives

They was legends lore
Were cancerous so were removed in Mos Eisley, by Doctor Cornelius Evazan.

Thundercat removed them.
Lightsaber them off. It's the newest treatment

I guess they were sanded
The Sun
The constant sand of the desert sanded them down
They contained elements of the dark side so he had them removed.
He force healed them...obviously.
Proactive
The scars went from physical to psychological
The sand took them
He had laser(sword) surgery to make himself less recognisable. Although maybe he should have shaved, too..
IDK if this is common knowledge here, but McGregor has a history of getting cancerous moles removed from his face dating back to like 08'. While i get this is a meme, that's probably where those bumps went.
Womp rats love to nibble on those things.
Honestly, he probably had a lot of time to focus on cosmetics while in exile
Lightsaber accident
They'll be digitally inserted in 10 years

Tom Holland had also one on his chin and it has also vanished
Not enough budget for spots.
They were absorbed by Tatooine to create it's twin suns
You'll never reach the outskirts in time...sandstorms are very, very dangerous. Come with me. Hurry!
These aren’t the spots you’re looking for.
Well, Alec Guinness didn’t have them, so I guess they canonically had to go at some point.
Well Kenobi didn’t have those in ep.4 so it makes sense.
Gone, reduced to atoms
Lack of attention to detail from disney
They burnt off in the hot Tattooine suns

He doesn't have them for a couple of reasons.

They were pimples under makeup
OUTRAGE AND UNFAIRNESS!!! DOWN WITH DISNEY. BOOOOOO!!! SHOW IS GONNA TANK!!!
I'm glad they're gone, kinda grossed me out. They should just go back and edit them out of the prequels and we'll all say it was Mandela effect
Sir Juhr E
Twin suns of Tatooine and their beauty treatments.

If I remember, it was a topic during filming of episode 3 whether or not to remove them as Alec didn't have them. At the time they chose not to. Seeing this gets closer to the OT and CGI being what it is today, it was probably a no brainer this time.
A mole was cancerous so he had them removed.
Where is the real Obi Wan? Is he safe? Is he all right?
It was probably headon, applied directly to the forehead.
They fellohff
Alec Guinness doesn't have those
Just some great skincare
