'Obi-Wan Kenobi' interviews !
30th April 2022 |
With a month to go until the "limited series" for 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' is released on the 27th of May (with two episodes initially, and then one episode weekly), many interviews have begun to be released :
Ian McDiarmid teases an upcoming involvement... but will it be for 'Obi Wan Kenobi' or 'Andor' or both ...?!
Director Deborah Chow confirms a stand-alone story, but keeps the door open for more stories... and confirms "legacy character cameos".
Ewan McGregor recalls his reaction to sharing the screen with Darth Vader for the first time !
Chow confirms that Darth Maul was never considered to be involved in this show.
British composer Natalie Holt has composed the show's music, and confirms that John Williams has composed a character theme for Kenobi that is "reflective and entirely appropriate... wistful... hopeful".
Executive writer Joby Harold paints a bleak picture for the old Jedi Master, but will serve him a story ending with hope...
“It takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, in a time of darkness in the galaxy… The Empire is in the ascendancy. And all the horrors that come with the Empire are being made manifest throughout the galaxy. And the Jedi Order as we know them are being all but wiped out. So everything that was in the prequels has crumbled.”
"Kenobi is in hiding struggling with that faith that defines the Jedi, and wanting to hold onto it and hoping to regain that faith within that sort of hopeless world."
"Some of those battles he has to fight, are very much to do with facing that past and understanding who he was, his part in his own history, [and] in the history of others [Anakin]."
In addition, spoiler-scooping site 'Making Star Wars' has revealed many more plot rumours, ranging from Saw Guerrera's Partisans to a colony of hidden Force-endowed Younglings to Imperial loyalty to Princess Leia's adventures.

In 'Andor' news, scheduled for release in the summer-autumn, the DP revealed that the show was originally conceived at five seasons, but has since been trimmed to three..... though there is speculation that the final number of episodes might equal five seasons.
