What happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi's body when he died?

When Obi-Wan Kenobi died, his physical body disappeared as he became one with the Force, a skill taught by Qui-Gon Jinn, allowing him to transcend death and later manifest as a Force ghost to guide Luke Skywalker. This transformation left only his robes and lightsaber behind, puzzling Darth Vader and showing the ultimate power of the Force over physical limitations, unlike other Jedi whose bodies remained.

Why did Obi-Wan's body disappear when he died?

Obi-Wan was never on the Death Star. He was projecting himself there all the way from Tatooine, the way Luke projected himself in the last Jedi. That's why when Vader runs his light saber through him, he simply vanishes instead of being physically damaged like everyone else who's ever been effected by a light saber.
