RIP Bob Saget. Interesting info about him on the Disney Wiki..."He was considered for the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. However, Ewan McGregor was cast at the end."

Just saw your post about this on FB. Sad news for family & friends.

That can’t be true! He was a giant in not only comedy but massive with his fundraising and charity work. A truly great man with a compassionate heart of gold. He’s with Norm now..

Diana Orr

So tragic, I was thinking the same thing Scott that he’s with Norm now.

Does anyone recall anything about him being considered for TPM? Seems nuts!

Chris Hansford

Can’t imagine George would’ve thought of him, but we have to remember George’s kids! They were the perfect age to be sucked in by “Full House”. Thank the Maker!

This is the first time I've ever heard of that one. Man, I honestly cannot see him being a young Obi-wan.... lol All the same, may he rest in peace. I remember seeing him for a very long time on TV as a kid between the Funniest Home Videos show and Full House. All the classic actors seem to be leaving us....

RIP Uncle Danny Tanner!

After his passing, a local news station showed a video that Bob Saget shot (on his phone, it looks like) and posted to social media in the past couple of years. In the video, Bob talked about his time living in Norfolk, Virginia (real close to where I live now). I had NO idea he lived in Virginia. Per his video, sounds like he only lived here 3-4 years during his middle school/junior high school and 1 year of high school. RIP Bob Saget.

That's cool! I grew up in Norfolk but I live on the other side of the state now. We also claim William Gibson as "local" for similar reasons.
