Obi-Wan Kenobi Image Unites Star Wars Show's Young Luke & Leia Actors
Warning! SPOILERS for Obi-Wan Kenobi episodes 1 & 2 ahead.
A new behind-the-scenes image from the Obi-Wan Kenobi set unites the young Luke and Leia actors. Obi-Wan Kenobi recently premiered on Disney+ and will run weekly on the platform as a six episode miniseries. Grant Feely plays the young version of Star Wars hero Luke Skywalker. Young Leia is played by actress Vivien Lyra Blair. The series is set in a time period in between the prequels and the original trilogy, and follows Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on the desert planet Tatoonie during his exile. Obi-Wan Kenobi watches over the young Skywalker from afar, but becomes much closer to the little Leia over the course of the opening episodes.
Child actors Blair and Feely are both relatively new to the acting scene. Feely has only made minor appearances in the past, including an acting appearance in a segment of the show Creepshow. Blair played a supporting role as Girl in the dystopian thriller Bird Box. The two young actors join Star Wars veterans Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars, along with seasoned but new-to-Star Warsactors Benny Safdie as Nari, Rupert Friend as the Grand Inquisitor, and Kumail Nanjiani as Haja Estree.
