It’s been a really exciting creative tool to use. And for me, it feels like we’re sort of continuing that tradition by using StageCraft and The Volume. He used it to do sort of a different form of storytelling with the prequels. T3: Is there anything you can say about the effects in Obi-Wan Kenobi and the differences between the movies and shows? For instance, the original trilogy and The Mandalorian to a lesser extent is known for more practical effects, as opposed to the prequels which were more CGI-heavy?ĭC: One thing that is really interesting for me, at least, is that in the prequels when George was doing them, he was obviously pushing digital technology. So there’s a lot more responsibility and a lot more weight that came with it. So we’re right in the middle of the two trilogies. So I think the biggest challenge, and the thing that was honestly also very exciting about this project, is that it is legacy characters. So there was a lot more sort of freedom and we didn’t have the legacy aspect as much. I think one of the biggest differences with The Mandalorian is that we were in a different time period, and we were with a lot of new characters. T3: Can you tell me what was the biggest difference between shooting The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi?ĭC: You know, I think there were a number of differences. T3: Did you have any conversations with the actor about bringing him back?ĭC: That was not a conversation with me, for sure, no. So I’m sorry, I’m a little bit out of the loop on this one. I didn’t even actually know he’d made those comments. T3: What do you think about Liam Neeson’s comments (opens in new tab) about being interested in reprising the role of Qui-Gon Jinn but not on television? Effectively confirming he’s not in Obi-Wan Kenobi.ĭC: I did not. So, yeah, I think the only thing I’m thinking about right now is going on vacation.

T3: Would you personally be interested in doing a series 2? Or do you think it’s just better left as a one-off?ĭC: I don’t know. You know, we’ll see what the future holds. Who knows? You know, he’s obviously got another 10 years out there before A New Hope. It was never conceived of as a series to go on. Do you think there’s more story to be told than what happens in the series?ĭC: Well, we definitely did conceive of this as a limited series – you know, beginning, middle, and end. T3: Obi-Wan Kenobi is confirmed as a limited six-episode series. They’re all very different and very interesting to me. I think I have love for all of them, honestly. I don’t really have a particular favourite. T3: Without giving away too much, do you have a favourite episode of the series and why?ĭC: You know, it’s really different. You know, we’ll see what the future holds." Deborah Chow "You know, he’s obviously got another 10 years out there before A New Hope.
And for me, it was just a real moment of going, “Oh, this is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I think the first time Ewan came to set – I think it was a camera test, just dressed up again as the character – he just fell into the role so seamlessly. But, yes, there are definitely a lot of special moments. I can’t really get into them without spoiling too much. T3: Were there any particular moments that stood out?ĭC: There are a million moments. So it felt very special and quite emotional. So they also have a relationship between the two of them. But then they’ve lived with these characters for so long. Also, they did it so long ago in the prequels and were these characters. You know, these are characters that have been with us for so long.
