But Briggs refused to give up and the Jedi returned to the court where the clerk finally gave in. He changed her name to Obi Wan Kenobi once she promised to change her name on her driver's license and other documents.
Kenobi was given a thousand dollars by a radio station to change her name. She says she will donate the money to the Duke Children's Hospital.
