(L-R): Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Princess Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) in Lucasfilm’s OBI-WAN KENOBI, exclusively on Disney+. And I’ll be forever grateful for his help because you can hunt any idea if he can say, ‘Yeah, if you want. “Pablo is this sort of mad genius, and he was incredibly helpful, and always available. Or they say, ‘Yeah, you’re allowed to do that,’ and then we canoodle and see if it bears fruit,” it explained. “You sort of have a big idea and you say, ‘Hey, can I do this?’ And someone goes, ‘No’ and you go, ‘Okay fine’ (laughs). Everything’s an email or a phone call away.” In regards to canon and the things you can do and the things you can’t do, very, very quickly you find out what’s on the table and what isn’t. He stated, “The spectacular thing about ‘Star Wars’ versus some of the other big franchise-y IP stuff I’ve been lucky enough to work on is everything’s so buttoned up. Ironically, Harold would also praise the idea of Star Wars canon being locked down despite throwing it out the window in every single episode of his Obi-Wan Kenobi show to date. It made the story active, especially for the viewer that isn’t as familiar with canon as we all are,” he added. “It was a good day when we realized we could use it and do it. “Which is great, because that allows you, at the end of Episode 2 and the beginning of Episode 3, it gets you so much that feels essential to the fundamental story, which is Obi Wan, Vader, that which haunts you, facing the past, everything that comes to fruition in 3 and beyond,” he continued. ![]() ![]() But it all comes down to, is it viable within canon to play that card? Which it was.” And what does that mean for him? There were many avenues that I could take him down, all of which hopefully are good opportunities to tease out story as we continue. “The great piece of storytelling you can use is getting to Ewan play the moment of realization that that which haunts him is still alive. Nevertheless, Harold would go on to explain why he wanted Kenobi to discover that Vader was still alive. He questioned, “‘Does he know the moniker Vader? What would that mean? Can he associate the two? What was he cognizant of? How isolated is he? Where’s Vader at that time? Where’s his reputation and how well known is he?’ and all those pieces of the puzzle.” RELATED: YouTuber Overlord DVD Roasts Obi-Wan Kenobi Says It “Is Nothing Less Than The Last Jedi All Over Again”įrom there, Harold listed off a string of questions with one of them implying he and the team at Lucasfilm working on this show do not realize that Obi-Wan Kenobi knows that Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader.

So, it is just interesting to take a character that we know and love from Alec Guinness’ creation of the character in the 70s, this wise sage like spiritual man. So, that’s his only sort of link to his past. The only responsibility to his past life is looking over Luke Skywalker who he’s delivered to, we see at the end of Episode III, to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. ![]() It’s like somebody who stepped away from their religion or something. He can’t communicate with any of his old comrades and he’s living a pretty solitary life. So, for ten years Obi-Wan has been in hiding. And they can’t communicate with one another. At the end of the third Episode the Jedi order are all but destroyed and those who aren’t killed have gone into hiding. “I think because of what happens at the end of Episode III, Revenge Of The Sith. ![]()
