Yes, for the following reasons:

1. The Aurabesh alphabet doesn't contain Arabic numerals.
2. We cannot presume that the number one is really pronounced the same in Aurabesh, despite the fact that Aurabesh all sounds like English in the SW movies -- we should be aware that that was merely done for the convenience of an English-speaking audience. The audience is supposed to be aware that we are listening to a "translation" of Aurabesh.
3. Because I'm an anally retentive prick. :p

I concede that it is spelt as "Obi-Wan Kenobi". Obi-Wan... now there's a name I've not heard for... about two hours.
