The street name was proposed by Leszek Budkiewicz, a member of the community council of Gmina Lubicz within which is located in Grabowiec. The proposition was accepted in resolution XXVIII/373/04 of 30 December 2004, and came into force 14 days later.[1][2]
Since then, the street name had attracted numerous Star Wars fans. In 2009, during Star Force, a Star Wars fans convention, many participants visited the street while wearing various Star Wars-themed cosplays.[3]
The street inspired propositions of naming streets in other cities of Poland after Obi-Wan Kenobi, including in: Bielsko-Biała[5] and Kraków.[6]
In 2021, the street was rebuilt, with its surface being updated from dirt to concrete cube. The investment cost 580 thousand Polish złoty, of which 290 thousand was covered by the Local Government Roads Fund.[7]
