Series director Deborah Chow (who previously directed some Star Wars films featuring The Mandalorian’s the best Episodes), the opportunity to make a character-driven story was a source of excitement. “I think I was more intrigued by her enthusiasm, for what she does… It’s fun to be bad.”
“She’s really smart she’s offensive, and she’s always ten paces ahead,” Ingram said of her character. This show brings them to the live event and introduces a new show in Reva, aka Third Sister, played by Moses Ingram (who also spoke at the press conference and from whom you may know Queen’s gambit). We’ve seen these bad guys using lightsabers before CGI Animated Series Rebels and video game Serious: Fallen Order. There is even a group of goons, the detectives, hunting the surviving Jedi around the galaxy.

Riva is looking for a Jedi on the Disney Plus show. To make matters worse, former Kenobi apprentice Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side of the force and became Imperial Enforcer Darth Vader. The Jedi Order acted as guardians of peace and justice, but the Galactic Empire nearly wiped them out when it captured the galaxy in totalitarian grip. I always try to think of him…to hear him say the lines.”ĭespite the humor and warmth that Guinness instills in Kenobi, the new show finds the character in a dark place a decade after the events of Revenge of the Sith and nine years before the events of A New Hope. “It all comes from Alec Guinness, McGregor said, “That wit was behind his eyes the whole time, he had a twinkle. Kenobi Alec Guinness battles Darth Vader in the original Star Wars movie. MacGregor played a younger version of the character in the prequel trilogy and returned for the new show, and said he still looks to his predecessor for inspiration. Kenobi was introduced 45 years ago in 1977 Star Wars: A New Hopewhere he played Guinness, who died in 2000. So I went back and did some homework with Alec Guinness and what I did before.” “Fortunately, we had months before we actually started shooting. “It’s not very good,” said the Scottish actor. “When we came to do Scenes with these other actors, I was doing that fuzzy English accent and it wasn’t Obi-Wan’s voice at all. At a press conference Thursday before the show’s release, MacGregor said he got back into the character fairly easily but acknowledged that finding the voice of the speaker again was a challenge.

You can watch TheWrap’s full interview with Ewan McGregor in the video above.When serial Obi-Wan Kenobi Kicks off on Disney Plus Next Friday May 27thwill see the return of Ewan McGregor as Kenobi, the lovable Jedi lord he last played 17 years ago in the Star Wars prequel. “But I feel we’re very close, you know? I mean, me and Hayden are so I feel like Obi Wan and Anakin are.” So he’s my student, if you like, and that is very much the dynamic,” McGregor said. And though there’s certainly bad blood there now, McGregor notes that the dynamic between Anakin and Obi-Wan is largely similar to that of the prequels. Obviously, the two will likely come face to face - or rather, face to… mask - again sooner rather than later. But also especially his brother, Anakin.” He’s still in a very sort of lonely, bleak place, and like you say, guilt-ridden and grieving for all of the Jedi he lost. “But my Obi-Wan Kenobi, at this point, is not at peace yet.
“I feel like there’s some kind of acceptance of his life, and there’s sort of some sort of peace with Alec Guinness,” McGregor added. Of course, McGregor means “living” both literally and spiritually in the Jedi’s case. There’s something about Alec Guinness is Obi Wan Kenobi that is - my Obi-Wan Kenobi in the series is not settled like Alec is.”Įwan McGregor Says Playing John Williams’ Score During ‘Obi-Wan’ Fight Scenes Helped Him Resist Making Lightsaber Noises (Video) “He’s calling himself Ben, but he’s not quite where Alec Guinness is living. “He’s not Alec Guinness’ Ben yet,” McGregor told TheWrap. But that’s just about the only thing he has in common with the Jedi we see in “A New Hope.” He’s still on Tatooine, at least for a little bit, as he looks over Luke Skywalker from afar. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” picks up roughly a decade after the events of “Star Wars – Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.” At this point in the story, Anakin Skywalker is deep into his time as Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan is in hiding, as his old padawan has people all over the galaxy hunting for him. According to Ewan McGregor, he’s somewhere in between. Obi-Wan Kenobi may not be the man he was in the prequels when the new Disney+ series drops on Friday, but that doesn’t mean he’s the legendary Ben Kenobi of the original trilogy yet either.
