Otto Binder
(aka "Eando" Binder) and published in the January 1939 issue of Amazing Stories, well before the unrelated and more well-known book I, Robot (1950), a collection of short stories, by Asimov.

c.
There seems to be many stories behind
Alec Guinness
and his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi. In
George Lucas
s original treatment (When it was ALL one story instead of a trilogy), Obi-Wan lives throughout the whole story (A fact confirmed by Lucas in the DVD Commentary). However, Obi-Wan ends up getting killed off in the first film (
Star Wars
, Episode IV: A New Hope). There are many stories as to why Lucas changed it. There are some stories that either Guinness demanded that Obi-Wan was killed off so he wouldnt have to appear in any sequels or Lucas did it on his own much to the bitterness of Guinness. In the
Star Wars
, Episode IV: A New Hope DVD Commentary, Lucas says that he felt it was a waste of Guinnesss talents to have him stand beside Leia in the control room during the Death Star battle (as it was scripted) and too outlandish to have the elderly Obi-Wan join the dogfight. So he killed off Obi-Wan in order to spur Luke on to going into Jedi training and defeat the Empire. In any event, when it came time to make Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), in which Luke begins his training, Lucas drew from the "ugly creature with mystical powers" mythological archetype (as he did when creating Star Wars) and created Yoda as Lukes new Jedi master. Eventually,
Alec Guinness
was lured back into the role of Obi-Wan when he was promised more money. Therefore creating the "force spirit" motif that remains throughout the rest of the films, including the new trilogy.
d.
