Obi-Wan Kenobi Director Thanks George Lucas For Edgerton's Uncle Owen
Obi-Wan Kenobi director Deborah Chow thanks George Lucas for casting Joel Edgerton as Uncle Owen and setting up his eventual Star Wars return. The Golden Globe nominee made his franchise debut in Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones as Owen Lars, Anakin Skywalker's stepbrother living on Tatooine with his girlfriend Beru Whitesun and his father Cliegg, a moisture farmer who had freed Anakin's mother from slavery only for her to have been kidnapped by Tusken Raiders. After being left by Anakin, who returned his mother's corpse to the family, Owen would return at the end of Star Wars: Episode III — Attack of the Clones as Obi-Wan Kenobi tasked the couple with caring for Anakin's infant son Luke with Beru, having married her in the years between films.
