Obi-Wan Kenobi Series : ‘Game Of Thrones’ & ‘For Life’ Star Indira Varma Set To Join Disney+ ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff
Game Of Thrones and For Life star Indira Varma is set to join Disney+’s upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series, we understand.
Star Wars prequel stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen are already aboard for the series, which McGregor recently teased was getting underway in the spring.
Varma’s character details are under wraps, as are plot details on the drama, which is based on McGregor’s prequel movie character. Christensen will reprise his role as Darth Vader.
The show is expected to take place between the final movie of George Lucas’s prequels, Revenge Of The Sith, and A New Hope.
McGregor also confirmed last month that the series will be directed by Deborah Chow, who directed two episodes in the first series of The Mandalorian, and that it will use the same technology as The Mandalorian, the StageCraft tech, in which the show’s detailed SFX backgrounds are projected onto ultra-high resolution screens behind the actors.
Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi is a pivotal character throughout the Star Wars movies, acting as a mentor to Luke Skywalker to whom he introduces the ways of the Jedi. He was portrayed by Alec Guinness in the original trilogy.
Respected stage and screen actress Varma is well known for her small screen roles in series such as Rome, Game Of Thrones (a particularly memorable turn as Ellaria Sand), Carnival Row, and most recently ABC’s For Life. She was an exec producer on UK series Indian Summers and also starred in Ridley Scott’s movie Exodus: Gods And Kings.
Disney and Varma’s reps were unavailable for comment. She is repped by Dalzelll and Beresford, and Principal Talent.
Casting officiel! En plus de Ewan McGregor et de Hayden Christensen, deux autres acteurs de la Prélogie feront leur retour dans Obi-Wan Kenobi : Joel Edgerton et Bonnie Piesse dans les rôles de Owen et de Beru.

Ewan McGregor a un peu évoqué le tournage durant le Jimmy Kimmel Live. Il a notamment révélé avoir tourné une scène très spéciale avec une personne "spéciale" le 4 mai.
De nouvelles rumeurs très sérieuses par le journaliste Jordan Maison parlent de ce que nous pourrions voir dans Obi-Wan Kenobi : - Ce ne serait pas Luke mais Leia qui serait le motif du départ d'Obi-Wan. La jeune actrice Vivien Lyra Blair prêterait ses traits à la petite princesse d'Alderaan. - Sung Kang incarnerait le Cinquième Frère, un des Inquisiteurs aperçus dans Star Wars Rebels. - Il y aurait de nombreux flashbacks qui nous ramèneront à l'époque de La Guerre des Clones pour explorer la relation Anakin/Obi-Wan. - Nous verrons Dark Vador en présence d'autres Inquisiteurs. - Plusieurs personnages de Star Wars Rebels pourraient être de la partie.

Des concepts arts tirés du plateau ont fuité, révélant un Vador démasqué en dehors de sa cuve de bacta. Verra-t-on souvent Christensen sous cette apparence? La dépendance de Vador envers son armure sera-t-elle une question abordée dans la série?

Thank you so much for the hard work and dedication you brought every day to this show. We’re immensely proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish on the journey together. While there will never be enough ways to say thank you, there are jackets!

Tous ces artworks sont magnifiques. Mais je suis déçue qu'on n'ait eu aucune bande-annonce pendant le Disney+ Day alors que c'était ce que j'attendais le plus de cette journée.
Obi-Wan Kenobi pourrait faire ses débuts sur Disney+ en Mai prochain! The Hollywood Reporter assure que ses sources lui ont confirmé cette date. Déjà la nuit d'avant, Brandon San Giovanni (directeur des programmes pour la plateforme) avait fait l'erreur d'annoncer l'arrivée de la série dans un délai de trois mois avant de supprimer son post.

Obi-Wan Kenobi arrivera le 25 mai 2022. Soit 45 ans après la première apparition du personnage, le 25 mai 1977, dans Star Wars : Episode IV - Un nouvel espoir.

Forbes a interviewé Ewan McGregor au sujet de la mini-série Star Wars : Obi-Wan Kenobi :

Ewan McGregor Discusses His New ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Disney+ Series: ‘It’s Really Going To Satisfy Star Wars Fans’
17 years since he last played the wise Jedi Master up on the big screen, actor Ewan McGregor will soon breathe new life into his beloved Star Wars character in the highly-anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi series that just announced it will premiere May 25 on Disney+.
I spoke exclusively with McGregor, 50, at Forbes while promoting his new Expedia Super Bowl ad airing this Sunday. When I asked him what he could share right now about his feelings playing Obi-Wan and what it was like suiting back up in his iconic robe once again, he says, “Oh my gosh, well I loved playing him again. I mean it’s quite interesting, after the experience of making the first three films and living through sort of their reception in the world, which wasn’t always glowing, I have to say. And then now, meeting the generation who we made those films for, the children then - and now, people in their late teens or early twenties, those people who were kids who we made those films for, they loved them. To them, they’re their Star Wars films, you know? For us, it was the original films of the ‘70s, but for them, it was our films were their Star Wars. So to step back into his shoes again now and do a series, a whole series about Obi-Wan Kenobi for those fans, it just makes me really happy.”
McGregor was first seen as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), followed by Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) and lastly in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). The storyline will continue after Episode III in the form of six brand new episodes on Disney+.
When speaking about the filming process of this new series, McGregor says, “It was a great experience. Deborah Chow directed all the episodes and she’s really good. She directed a couple [episodes] of The Mandalorian and she’s a really great director. She really knows the Star Wars world, inside out, far more than I do (laughs). We just had a great time. I think it’s no secret that Hayden Christensen comes back and we got to play scenes together again as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and it was just fantastic to work with him again. I’m not going to give away anything else about the storyline, only I think it’s really going to satisfy Star Wars fans. I always felt there was a story between Episode III where I finished playing Obi-Wan in the movies and Episode IV where Alec Guinness is Obi-Wan Kenobi. The [Obi-Wan Kenobi series] writers and Deb and I and everyone, I think we crafted or they crafted a very fine storyline. I think people are going to like it.”
In reality, McGregor may not be traveling off to a galaxy far, far away, but he is making exploration a priority in his life today. Most recently, he has teamed up with Expedia to encourage the world to focus their time and money on experiences, rather than on stuff.
McGregor tells me, “I don’t find myself guilty of needing the latest iPhone or needing the latest television. I’ve never really been like that. I love traveling and my hobbies tend to revolve around things that can take me places. I really daydream about trips and I’ve been lucky to ride [my motorcycle] all around the world with my friend Charlie and make documentaries of those trips to inspire other people to maybe do the same thing.”
He goes on to tell me that his mentality with work and business changed when his Netflix limited series Halston (a role in which he won an Emmy for just last year) shutdown in the middle of production in March 2020 when the Covid-19 lockdowns began. With production not starting up again until September 2020, McGregor says that gave him an unusual amount of quality time with his family at home, something that has changed his perspective on where he chooses to dedicate his time most in this current chapter of his life.
“I was lucky to shoot the Star Wars series here in LA, where I live, and so I was able to go home every night and home every weekend. A huge portion of my life has been spent away - away from my family, working in lots of interesting places but also I’ve often spent my weekends sitting in a hotel room on my own. It was a revelation to be off during that time and now me and my family can plan exciting trips once things properly open up again. Spending more time at home and more time doing the things that I love. That’s why I love this [Expedia] commercial at the end. We’ll look back and regret the places we didn’t go or the experiences we didn’t have.”
With McGregor’s newfound outlook on life, he has even found a way to mix family with filmmaking. He goes on to tell me that he just shot a movie that one of his daughters Clara starred in, wrote, and produced. The project allowed McGregor and her to play father and daughter on-screen together, something he recalls as an amazing experience.
With more promising performances on the horizon for McGregor and an elaborate list of past projects admired by moviegoers, I wrapped up our conversation by asking him what thoughts go through his head most these days when he reflects on his decades of making memorable films.
“Just how lucky I’ve been,” McGregor reveals. “I really have been involved in some lovely projects and there’s sort of wonder to it. I like films like Big Fish and Moulin Rouge - they’re sort of dreamers films, you know? They’re big, proper movies that tell great stories and with really great people. To get to play for a living, I count my lucky stars every day - I love it! I’m so happy with all of the work I’ve been able to do. There’s no favorites for me. They’re all stepping stones, they’re all important, they all taught me one thing or another.”
John Williams revient dans l'univers Star Wars! À 90 ans, l'immense compositeur des 9 Épisodes de la saga a enregistré la semaine dernière le thème principal de Obi-Wan Kenobi!
