Star Wars stars war! Who are you most closely connected to? [closed]

Question

Since the ninth and last movie in the Star Wars trilogies comes out this Friday we thought it would be fun to feature some of the actors/actresses who portrayed iconic Star Wars characters and have our own "stars war."

Check your connections and let us know below who you are most closely connected to: Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Chewbacca the Wookie (Peter Mayhew), or Obi-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Master (Sir Alec Guinness).

I'm still looking at Peter Mayhew's ancestors - I added a fairly minor connection to the tree last night - I seriously doubt it will improve anyone's connection, but you never know. We'll see if something turns up over the next day or two.

Alec is 23 degrees from me.

Peter is 26 degrees from me.

Carrie is my 10 cousin once removed.

What do the "degrees" mean?

Answer 1

16 Degrees from Carrie Fisher, 23 Degrees from Alec Guinness, and 25 Degrees from Peter Mayhew.   Fun project thanks !  Always loved Star Wars !!!

Answer 2

I am connected to Peter Mayhew on my mother's side and Carrie Fisher on my dad's side.  What I don't understand is I had found these connections in the past when they were featured in emails and made connections, but when I tried them today there was no connection. How is that possible? I have had that happen with other people I had connections to and then on recheck, no connection comes up.
