There is a reference to Alec Guiness as Obi-Wan in the last New York Times Magazine, in an interview with Ian McKellen (Gandalf in LOTR). Here is the relevant quotation:

Q: Alec Guiness was annoyed that he became so closely identified with his role in "Star Wars." Do you worry that after "Lord of the Rings" you'll be remembered as Gandalf and your Richard III will be forgotten?

A: Perhaps a clearer way of putting it would be to say, Would I regret forever more being associated with Magneto in "X-Men"? I'm perhaps not as much a snob as Alec Guiness, and I have perhaps more catholic tastes in entertainment than he had. I don't make any distinction between what I do and what a hoofer on Broadway does. We are all in the business of keeping an audience quite for two and a half hours.
