INTERVIEWER: This is probably
one of your first roles
4
00:00:22,375 --> 00:00:24,916
in a strictly fantasy-type film.

any particular challenges to you?

Now, I've never done anything remotely
to do with science fiction before.
8
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:45,708
But then, as I see it, this has nothing
to do with past, present, or future.

could be
in any of those areas.

George Lucas suggested to me
something of a samurai warrior,
11
00:00:59,333 --> 00:01:03,000
something of a wise man,
a kind of monk-like character.
12
00:01:06,083 --> 00:01:07,666

in this picture.

EWAN MCGREGOR:
I remember clearly the first time
18
00:01:27,375 --> 00:01:29,708
I saw Star Wars.
I was five or six.
19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,333
I came from this very small town
in Scotland and, me and my brother,
20
00:01:34,416 --> 00:01:37,166
we went to the big city to watch it.
21
00:01:37,625 --> 00:01:39,625
We didn't really know what it was, or...
22
00:01:40,458 --> 00:01:43,375
(CHUCKLING) That it was
Star Wars,
you know.
23
00:01:43,666 --> 00:01:45,958
And then I watched it a billion times.
24
00:01:47,041 --> 00:01:50,625
When we got a video player,
we watched it over and over and over.
25
00:01:50,833 --> 00:01:52,666
We knew every single line of it.
26
00:01:52,916 --> 00:01:55,500
We watched it till it was
just colors on the screen.
27
00:01:55,583 --> 00:01:57,000
It was so worn out, you know.
28
00:01:58,208 --> 00:02:01,083
And Alec Guinness, of course,
I didn't know his work.
29
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:04,083
I was only a kid.
But I knew him as Obi-Wan Kenobi,
30
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:09,000
and he's this iconic, legendary character.
31
00:02:09,083 --> 00:02:13,916
If you strike me down, I shall become more
powerful than you can possibly imagine.
32
00:02:14,416 --> 00:02:17,208
MCGREGOR:
By the time I was nine,
I'd decided I wanted to be an actor.
33
00:02:17,291 --> 00:02:20,125
And I just... I wondered at his career.
34
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,208
Then when I got cast as Obi-Wan Kenobi,
35
00:02:23,291 --> 00:02:26,708
I tried to watch as many films as I could
of him as a young man.
36
00:02:26,791 --> 00:02:29,041
To try and imagine him
as a younger person.
37
00:02:29,708 --> 00:02:31,041
This series is special
38
00:02:31,125 --> 00:02:34,041
because it's a character
that I loved playing back in the day
39
00:02:35,083 --> 00:02:36,625
and I get the chance to do it again.

who not only is Obi-Wan Kenobi but is
also a producer and a partner on the show.
46

MCGREGOR: Yeah. Thank you so much.
It's been a long time...
47

-It's been a long time coming to this.
-WOMAN: (LAUGHING) Yeah, I know.
48
00:03:06,708 --> 00:03:09,291
MCGREGOR: Many years,
we've been talking about doing this
49
00:03:09,833 --> 00:03:12,583
and it's exciting and unbelievable almost
that here we are.

(SLOW ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYING)
55
00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:31,708
CHOW:
This series is the story of
Obi-Wan Kenobi in the intervening years
56
00:03:31,791 --> 00:03:34,291
between the prequels
and the original trilogies.
57
00:03:35,666 --> 00:03:38,416
We're starting in a moment
where the Jedi are gone,
58
00:03:38,541 --> 00:03:41,500
they're being hunted,
the Empire is in control.
59
00:03:41,833 --> 00:03:44,041
Everything's a very dark period.
60
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:47,375
So, in many ways,
we're trying to answer the question of,
61
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,125
"How did he go from
Revenge of the Sith
62
00:03:49,208 --> 00:03:51,625
"with all the pain and the tragedy
at the ending to,
63
00:03:51,708 --> 00:03:54,583
"sort of, the calm and the peace
of
A New Hope?"

(ENGINES WHIRRING)
65
00:03:59,041 --> 00:04:00,750
Takin' on the series, for me,
66
00:04:00,833 --> 00:04:05,833
it was hugely an honor to be able
to enter into this mythology
67
00:04:05,916 --> 00:04:10,750
and to inherit this galaxy
with such rich, amazing characters.
68
00:04:11,541 --> 00:04:14,541
But at the same time,
I also need to tell a story.
69
00:04:14,625 --> 00:04:16,875
And I can't copy what George did,
I'm not George,
70
00:04:17,208 --> 00:04:20,208
so I have to tell my own story
with these characters.
71
00:04:20,291 --> 00:04:23,791
I think the trick has been to find
the balance between those two things.

Meet Obi-Wan Kenobi.
73
00:04:25,833 --> 00:04:28,833
CHOW:
Ewan was very involved
all through the whole development,
74
00:04:29,458 --> 00:04:31,958
and he was such a lovely creative partner.
75
00:04:32,083 --> 00:04:33,333
He's more than just an actor.
76
00:04:33,416 --> 00:04:35,666
He, to me, is Obi-Wan.
77
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:39,833
And Ewan was kind of the exact right age
to play this character again.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)
79
00:04:46,708 --> 00:04:49,666
MCGREGOR:
When I first heard that
they were doing Episode I
to III
80
00:04:49,750 --> 00:04:51,458
and they needed an Obi-Wan Kenobi,
81
00:04:51,541 --> 00:04:53,666
I definitely didn't think it was for me.
82
00:04:53,750 --> 00:04:57,000
I thought, "This isn't who I am,"
just because of the scale of it.
83
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,875
I felt like I was this indie actor.
84
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,500
There was three of us for the part.
85
00:05:04,583 --> 00:05:06,791
And I went in and I did a screen test.
86
00:05:06,875 --> 00:05:09,208
WOMAN: You can't help but change
when it goes on.
87

-Everyone can just be the most...
-Of course. Especially actors,
88
00:05:11,625 --> 00:05:13,291
-'cause that's what we do.
-Yeah, yeah.

MCGREGOR:
I thought, "No. I'm not gonna
be doing something that big."
90
00:05:16,041 --> 00:05:18,250
But the truth was, I really wanted it.
91
00:05:18,333 --> 00:05:20,000
I wanted it because
92
00:05:21,166 --> 00:05:23,583
of how I'd felt about
the original three
Star Wars films.
93
00:05:24,416 --> 00:05:26,958
Shortly thereafter,
I heard that they'd offered it to me,
94
00:05:27,041 --> 00:05:28,458
and I was so beyond excited.
95
00:05:29,041 --> 00:05:30,541
-(LAUGHS) How are you?
-Hi. How are you doing?
96
00:05:30,625 --> 00:05:31,625
You all right?
97
00:05:31,708 --> 00:05:36,916
The crux of the story is you object
to Qui-Gon bringing this kid along.
98
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,500
-Mmm-hmm.
-So, his last dying wish to you
99
00:05:39,583 --> 00:05:41,958
is that you carry on with the kid
100
00:05:42,041 --> 00:05:44,125
and you're sort of saying,
"Okay, I'll do it."
101
00:05:44,208 --> 00:05:46,666
But you're really not up for it.
But you do it anyway.
102
00:05:46,750 --> 00:05:48,875
You've taken on this obligation
that you don't really want
103
00:05:48,958 --> 00:05:50,458
and you're not really capable of,
104
00:05:50,541 --> 00:05:54,666
but you promised your dying master that
you would do it, so, that's where it ends.
105
00:05:55,875 --> 00:05:57,958
MCGREGOR:
I had a walk around
the studio with George.
106
00:05:58,041 --> 00:06:01,833
We went into a stage
where they were making the submarine
107
00:06:01,916 --> 00:06:04,875
that Liam and Ahmed Best
and I end up in.
108
00:06:05,083 --> 00:06:07,791
And I was so excited,
I looked up at it, and then I went,
109
00:06:07,875 --> 00:06:11,541
"George, will we go underwater in it?"
110
00:06:12,083 --> 00:06:14,083
(LAUGHS) And he just looked at me
and he went, "What?"
111
00:06:14,166 --> 00:06:16,375
And I said, "Will we submerge in it?"
112
00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:18,416
I was so excited that we might.
113
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,541
And he said,
"It's none of it real, you know."
114
00:06:21,958 --> 00:06:24,083
And a little part of me went...
(DISAPPOINTEDLY) Huh.
115
00:06:25,166 --> 00:06:28,000
Like, that feeling of when
you get into the world of it,
116
00:06:28,083 --> 00:06:30,500
like, of course you're not
flying through space, you know.
117
00:06:30,583 --> 00:06:31,625
But somewhere in my head,
118
00:06:31,708 --> 00:06:35,083
I thought maybe I would get the chance
to do something like that.
119
00:06:35,166 --> 00:06:39,333
And then later on, we went into
the props-making department
120
00:06:39,416 --> 00:06:41,916
and the props master
brought this wooden box out.
121
00:06:42,458 --> 00:06:43,791
And opened it up.
122
00:06:44,083 --> 00:06:46,000
And there was lightsabers in there.
123
00:06:46,416 --> 00:06:48,500
And I got to choose my one, you know.
124
00:06:49,458 --> 00:06:52,416
And that was the real moment
where I realized what was going on,
125
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:55,541
that this was an important moment.
To pick Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
126
00:06:55,708 --> 00:06:57,208
I've been waiting for this for weeks.
127
00:06:57,291 --> 00:07:00,333
Every morning I'd say, "I wonder
if it's today I'll get to choose."

It's so interesting now,
20 years later,
134
00:07:16,833 --> 00:07:19,041
the love that there is for those films
135

MCGREGOR: Yeah,
that would fit in my pouch, yeah.
165
00:08:42,333 --> 00:08:45,875
I started speaking with people at Disney
a long time ago.
166
00:08:46,458 --> 00:08:49,583
I always thought it would be interesting
to take a character that
167
00:08:49,666 --> 00:08:54,125
we know and love as being one way
and show him in defeat.
168
00:08:55,208 --> 00:08:57,625
I just said, I just feel like
it's an interesting story
169
00:08:57,708 --> 00:08:59,875
about a man who's broken
and lost his faith.
170
00:08:59,958 --> 00:09:02,833
And how does it come back?
How does he get it back?

CHOW: And, action!
173
00:09:09,541 --> 00:09:12,375
The first thing we did with Ewan
was the Sandwhale Farm.
174
00:09:12,458 --> 00:09:14,875
And so, that was sort of
a lovely way to start
175
00:09:14,958 --> 00:09:18,083
'cause that scene is really
the introduction to his character.
176
00:09:18,916 --> 00:09:21,041
One of the things
that we really tried to focus on
177
00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:23,625
was less about the Jedi
and more about the man.
178
00:09:24,666 --> 00:09:29,375
We were really trying to do a series that
was really focused on Ben Kenobi, the man.
179
00:09:29,916 --> 00:09:31,833
Who is he and how does he feel?
180
00:09:31,916 --> 00:09:34,125
And how does he deal with everything?
181
00:09:34,208 --> 00:09:37,333
The Jedi is part of the identity,
but really it was about him.
182
00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:41,208
The Sandwhale Farm
is actually one of my favorite sets,
183
00:09:42,083 --> 00:09:45,583
and we were really looking at references
of whaling stations of old.
184
00:09:45,916 --> 00:09:48,458
He's living in Anchorhead
which is a farming town,
185
00:09:48,541 --> 00:09:51,416
so it's very much
a blue-collar town in many ways.
186
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:53,833
I was really trying
to make it feel gritty.
187
00:09:54,583 --> 00:09:56,583
He's just an ordinary man
at this point.
188
00:09:56,666 --> 00:09:58,708
And just doing his daily routine.
189
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
MCGREGOR:
Physically,
he's rusty in terms of fighting
190
00:10:04,208 --> 00:10:07,833
and also just rusty
in terms of the desire to do it.
191
00:10:07,916 --> 00:10:10,250
He's sort of lost,
I think, Obi-Wan, in a way.
192
00:10:10,333 --> 00:10:13,833
He doesn't have the same drive
to fight for good.

It was really exciting for me,
coming on to this series
201
00:10:41,791 --> 00:10:44,583
to take on a new aspect of the dark side.
202
00:10:45,291 --> 00:10:47,041
These Inquisitors were first introduced
203
00:10:47,125 --> 00:10:49,708
by Dave Filoni
in his animated series, Rebels.
204
00:10:49,791 --> 00:10:52,291
So, this is the first time
in live-action for them.
205
00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:57,458
The Inquisitorius is an organization
that was created by Emperor Palpatine
206
00:10:57,541 --> 00:10:58,750
after the Clone Wars.
207
00:10:58,916 --> 00:11:02,875
And its primary purpose was to
hunt down and eliminate Force users.
208
00:11:04,625 --> 00:11:05,833
It's led by Darth Vader,
209
00:11:05,916 --> 00:11:09,583
and many of the Inquisitors were
former Jedi who turned to the dark side.
210
00:11:11,083 --> 00:11:13,791
JOBY HAROLD:
It is truly extraordinary.
211
00:11:13,875 --> 00:11:17,041
It looks so close to what I'd pictured,
212
00:11:17,125 --> 00:11:19,583
which is really weird,
'cause it isn't always that way.
213
00:11:19,666 --> 00:11:22,416
But actually, it's how you imagine it.
214
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:25,916
It's sort of that Western motif of the
three characters walking down the street
215
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,250
and everyone parting ways
216
00:11:27,333 --> 00:11:30,458
and then everyone sitting silently
as they're intimidated.
217
00:11:30,583 --> 00:11:31,875
It's wonderful.
218

The idea that somebody
could be fighting on the side of good
228
00:11:57,416 --> 00:12:00,416
and turn to the dark side,
I found fascinating.
229

There's way more to this guy than just
a bad-ass with a double-edged lightsaber.

The Grand Inquisitor
is a former Jedi Knight and temple guard
231

who turned to the dark side.
232
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:18,541
He's a very interesting character because
he's calculating, cerebral, and cunning
233
00:12:18,625 --> 00:12:20,791
and he uses his intelligence as a weapon.
234
00:12:22,458 --> 00:12:24,083
Fifth Brother is a powerful warrior
235
00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:26,708
and he's the natural successor
to the Grand Inquisitor.
236
00:12:27,625 --> 00:12:30,750
Reva is a young Inquisitor
who doesn't like to play by the rules.
237
00:12:31,791 --> 00:12:34,750
She's fiery. She's passionate.
She's impatient.
238
00:12:34,833 --> 00:12:37,583
She's frequently in conflict
with the other Inquisitors.
239
00:12:37,958 --> 00:12:40,166
You just gotta make sure
that when her hand's out,
240
00:12:40,250 --> 00:12:44,166
be careful that you remember the width
of the length of the blade, right?
241
00:12:44,250 --> 00:12:46,750
And just making sure that
you don't touch her body with it.
242

was an interesting one for us.

The fact that there's
a real deepening of the relationship
322
00:17:03,250 --> 00:17:08,625
with us as a family, including Luke,
and the protectiveness that we display,
323
00:17:09,208 --> 00:17:11,875
felt like it was walking down
the right road with them
324
00:17:11,958 --> 00:17:13,750
because that's what they would do.
325
00:17:14,375 --> 00:17:16,791
People have a real love for
Star Wars
326
00:17:16,875 --> 00:17:19,583
and it touches them deeply in their soul.
327
00:17:20,250 --> 00:17:23,041
And I think people are in love
with the heroic journey.
328
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:27,833
It just calls on people's spirit in a way,
and what an honor to be a part of that.

I love that everyone
thought it would be a story
337
00:17:45,583 --> 00:17:47,375
about Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.
338
00:17:47,458 --> 00:17:50,791
And nobody knew that this was
the story about Obi-Wan and Leia.
339
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,333
Deborah, should I give her
like a "I'm sorry" look
340
00:17:54,416 --> 00:17:56,458
before I press her off, like,
341
00:17:56,541 --> 00:17:58,958
"I'm sorry she made me do it"
and then press her off?
342

CHOW: Yeah, just give her
a little sorry look.

One of the most challenging and exciting
elements of the show
344
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:09,333
is young Princess Leia.

CHOW:
One of the things
that really drew me to the project
348
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:22,666
was the father-daughter story of it all.
349
00:18:22,750 --> 00:18:25,833
'Cause my dad, growing up,
he was a very pivotal person for me.
350
00:18:27,666 --> 00:18:30,791
My dad was a huge movie fan,
and he was Chinese,
351
00:18:30,875 --> 00:18:34,083
so he used to watch
a ton of Asian action films.
352
00:18:35,041 --> 00:18:37,666
He loved them and he had
a huge collection of movies.
353
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:39,750
So, I think I absorbed a lot from that
354
00:18:39,833 --> 00:18:43,291
and just the speed and the imagination
355
00:18:43,375 --> 00:18:45,958
that a lot of
the Asian martial arts films have,
356
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:48,625
and the legacy of people like Kurosawa
357
00:18:48,708 --> 00:18:51,625
and the grandmasters,
Jet Li, all the people like that.
358
00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:56,291

'cause I never really thought,

"Oh, I'm gonna grow up and become
an action director."
360
00:18:58,833 --> 00:19:01,416
It certainly was not what
I was thinking I was doing
361
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:03,333

she's just gonna run through your legs.

So, just as the person
runs through your legs,
378
00:19:50,916 --> 00:19:53,791
it's just like getting a sense
of the creature looking down
379
00:19:53,875 --> 00:19:55,541
and then going, "Whoa."
380
00:19:56,208 --> 00:19:58,041
I love all the creatures in Star Wars

but so inventive and so creative
at the same time, was just amazing.
390

And Daiyu is one of my favorite planets.
391

It's where the mercenaries take Leia
once they kidnapped her.

And they take her to this

were things like

the Bangkok night markets
or Hong Kong at night.

Why do I get the feeling
you're going to be the death of me?
407
00:21:20,041 --> 00:21:23,708
In the early films that I did, there was
a sort of impatience with Anakin,
408
00:21:23,791 --> 00:21:27,125
and at the beginning of our story,
there's that frustration again.

00:21:27,208 --> 00:21:33,041
Obi-Wan's got that reluctant
teacher-parent feeling with Leia.

And then I was like, okay,
this is probably all this guy knows,

so his Force-gestures and the way
he conducts himself as a Jedi,

that we're telling in this story is that

Obi-Wan at the end of
Revenge of the Sith in the prequels
509
00:26:35,125 --> 00:26:38,500
did not know that Anakin Skywalker
survived to become Lord Vader.

we looked at his past,
we looked at his relationships,

and one of the most important people
in his life is Anakin Skywalker.

00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:52,791
Today is just a little action piece.
650
00:34:52,875 --> 00:34:54,333
A lot of it is just,
651
00:34:54,416 --> 00:34:56,458
you look over the scene with Deb
652
00:34:56,541 --> 00:34:59,541
and then we just kind of
see how she wants it to play out.
653
00:34:59,625 --> 00:35:01,750
CHOW: Here,
I think everything has to go faster.
654
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:02,833
WOMAN: Got it.
EUSEBIO: Okay.
655
00:35:02,916 --> 00:35:04,291
CHOW: To get to the track, right.
656
00:35:04,375 --> 00:35:06,791
EUSEBIO:
She wanted to make it
almost like a horror movie,
657
00:35:06,875 --> 00:35:08,458
where the monster would appear,
658
00:35:08,541 --> 00:35:11,166
and you turn around and he's gone.
You look one way, he's gone.
659
00:35:11,250 --> 00:35:12,833
It's like always hunting you down.
660
00:35:12,916 --> 00:35:15,666
All right, here we go. Ready and action.
661
00:35:19,166 --> 00:35:25,041
I grew up on this franchise, so this is
just a dream for me just to be around.
662
00:35:25,916 --> 00:35:27,458
CHOW: Yeah, they're gonna go out faster.
663
00:35:27,541 --> 00:35:31,166
So, more urgency getting out that you guys
have to make sure nobody's leaving.
664
00:35:31,250 --> 00:35:32,250
Going again.
665
00:35:33,833 --> 00:35:36,958
MCGREGOR:
I'd done some rehearsal
with Vader in his costume,
666
00:35:38,333 --> 00:35:41,250
but I never rehearsed with him
with the helmet on.
667
00:35:47,375 --> 00:35:50,500
They're setting up
for our first lightsaber battle.
668
00:35:51,833 --> 00:35:55,541
They put the marker board on
for whatever the scene is. Take one.
669
00:35:56,291 --> 00:35:57,791
And, action!
670
00:35:58,875 --> 00:36:03,875
I'm walking, and then I hear his feet
and I turn around.
671
00:36:04,458 --> 00:36:06,916
And Darth Vader is coming at me.
672
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,708
I was struck with absolute fear.
673
00:36:09,791 --> 00:36:12,083
It was real boyhood fear. It was like...

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
677
00:36:19,416 --> 00:36:21,916
It's the first time
I've lit my lightsaber in a long time.
678
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,583
So I don't really wanna face him. I'm not
ready to face him, but I take him on.
679
00:36:26,208 --> 00:36:30,625
CHOW:
Essentially, Vader is much stronger
than Obi-Wan at this moment,
680
00:36:30,833 --> 00:36:33,875
and he really kinda kicks his ass
and burns him in the fire,
681
00:36:33,958 --> 00:36:36,750
and a lot of the history
is coming up with the fire.
682
00:36:38,416 --> 00:36:40,833
But it's more about just coming to terms
683
00:36:40,916 --> 00:36:44,291
and dealing with this monster
that he helped create.
684
00:36:50,291 --> 00:36:52,458
I'm feeling very like Darth Sidious.
685
00:36:53,208 --> 00:36:56,416
CHOW:
It is a lot to play somebody
who's on the dark side.
686
00:36:58,333 --> 00:37:02,916
There is an intensity and there is an
emotional commitment and drive to them.

it's not an easy place
to stay in as a performer.
690
00:37:16,916 --> 00:37:19,333
There is a larger-than-life
component to it.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)
692
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:31,208
At this point in the galaxy, we have
a world that is quite a dark worldview.
693
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:36,000
And there's a lot going on in the galaxy
that is definitely not right.

(GASPS AND GRUNTS)

00:37:43,125 --> 00:37:45,666
CHOW:
A large part of what we're
trying to do with this story
696
00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:47,833
is ask "How do you retain your hope?"
697
00:37:48,625 --> 00:37:51,250
and "How do you find hope
in these dark times?"

MAN: Take four-six-eight, take three.
Camera. Action.
699
00:38:07,791 --> 00:38:10,041
CHOW:
I've always thought
that Princess Leia, honestly,
700
00:38:10,125 --> 00:38:13,208
is one of the best female characters
that's ever been written
701
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:16,083
and that's also combined
with Carrie Fisher.
702
00:38:16,333 --> 00:38:19,083
I feel like a lot of times, nowadays,
people are saying,
703
00:38:19,166 --> 00:38:20,791
"Oh, it's a strong woman and she's tough,"
704
00:38:20,875 --> 00:38:22,958
and it just means
that she's killing everybody,
705
00:38:23,041 --> 00:38:24,750
and Carrie was not like that.
706
00:38:24,833 --> 00:38:27,958
Carrie, in Princess Leia,
you had somebody that was a rebel,
707
00:38:28,041 --> 00:38:30,208
was a fighter,
but she was also intelligent,
708
00:38:30,291 --> 00:38:33,458
she was funny, but she could also be warm,
she could be loving.
709
00:38:33,541 --> 00:38:37,583
And she really kinda had this
multi-dimensional characterization
710
00:38:37,666 --> 00:38:39,708
that was just wonderful.
711
00:38:43,041 --> 00:38:47,208
One of the things for me that I really
wanted to acknowledge in the series
712
00:38:47,291 --> 00:38:49,416
without getting too heavy-handed about it
713
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:53,333
was this sense that, there's obviously
been a lot of focus on Luke Skywalker
714
00:38:53,416 --> 00:38:55,291
and his contribution to the galaxy,
715
00:38:55,375 --> 00:38:57,541
but I feel like with Princess Leia,
716
00:38:57,625 --> 00:38:59,625
I don't think he could have
done it without her.
717
00:38:59,708 --> 00:39:02,166
-What the hell are you doing?
-Somebody has to save our skins.
718
00:39:02,583 --> 00:39:05,666
CHOW:
And she was the one
who organized all the rebels,
719
00:39:05,750 --> 00:39:07,875
she was there fighting the war,
720
00:39:07,958 --> 00:39:10,625
she was there kinda doing
all the other side of it
721
00:39:10,708 --> 00:39:14,666
and I think the two of them really,
they did it together in a lot of ways.
722
00:39:14,750 --> 00:39:17,500
That was something
that I really loved about the series
723
00:39:17,583 --> 00:39:21,541
is that we were getting a chance to
acknowledge that she played a pivotal role
724
00:39:21,625 --> 00:39:23,833
in allowing
everything to happen as it did.
725
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:28,666
(SIGHS) It's not like anyone would miss me
if I wasn't there.
726
00:39:29,125 --> 00:39:30,208
I'd miss you.
727
00:39:30,291 --> 00:39:32,333
All I ever do is wave.
728
00:39:32,416 --> 00:39:34,666
CHOW:
For any performer,
let alone a child,
729
00:39:34,750 --> 00:39:38,458
trying to take on the legacy of
Princess Leia and Carrie Fisher
730
00:39:38,541 --> 00:39:40,041
is incredibly difficult.
731
00:39:40,541 --> 00:39:43,041
But Vivien just kinda
had the essence of her,
732
00:39:43,125 --> 00:39:44,958
and I think that was the main thing.
733
00:39:45,083 --> 00:39:46,708
Try to reason with her.
734
00:39:46,958 --> 00:39:49,833
So, think of your own mom a minute.
How do you win your mom?
735
00:39:49,916 --> 00:39:52,166
-What does she respond to the most?
-Um...
736
00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:56,250
-Hugs. Usually.
-(LAUGHS)

LEIA: I'm sorry, Mother.
738
00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:00,000
I really am.
739
00:40:00,625 --> 00:40:02,625
I promise I won't do it again.
740
00:40:05,666 --> 00:40:08,625
MCGREGOR:
Vivien's brilliant,
just brilliant to work with.
741
00:40:08,708 --> 00:40:11,708
You know, I can feel you doing that.
742
00:40:11,791 --> 00:40:16,916
She had all of the wit and cheek
of Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia.
743
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,250
She had the same job to do
as I had with Alec.
744
00:40:20,625 --> 00:40:26,333
I actually started on the
Star Wars books,
and I learned how to read with those.
745
00:40:26,416 --> 00:40:29,541
And
Star Wars, of course,
the moment I saw him on the page,
746
00:40:29,625 --> 00:40:31,208
I fell in love with R2-D2.
747
00:40:31,875 --> 00:40:33,875
MCGREGOR:
I didn't know Vivien
before we started,
748
00:40:33,958 --> 00:40:36,666
and so the story line
and the reality of shooting
749
00:40:36,750 --> 00:40:40,041
are somewhat side by side in that
we didn't know each other very well
750
00:40:40,125 --> 00:40:44,166
and then we got to know each other
better and better as we shot the series.
751
00:40:44,250 --> 00:40:46,458
So, it went hand in hand really.
752
00:40:46,541 --> 00:40:52,125
She was never anything but fully
enthusiastic and she's a passionate actor.
753
00:40:52,958 --> 00:40:56,208
If you're a real Jedi, why aren't you
using your lightsaber?
754
00:40:56,291 --> 00:40:57,791
Because we're in hiding.
755
00:40:58,375 --> 00:40:59,416
Convenient.
756
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:03,125
Unless, you can't do Jedi stuff and
that lightsaber is completely stolen.
757
00:41:03,333 --> 00:41:04,625
Make me float.
758
00:41:06,208 --> 00:41:08,541
MCGREGOR:
I'd really thought that she nailed it,
759
00:41:08,625 --> 00:41:11,958
like I could feel
Princess Leia in her, you know.
760
00:41:14,083 --> 00:41:16,791
And she loves droids
more than anything in the world.
761
00:41:17,375 --> 00:41:19,625
Vivien loves droids.

00:41:19,708 --> 00:41:21,333

764
00:41:26,083 --> 00:41:28,416
MCGREGOR:
I've got four children
who are girls,
765
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:32,125
so I'm familiar
with the looking after of girl children.
766
00:41:33,958 --> 00:41:36,375
And although Obi's not a father,
767
00:41:36,458 --> 00:41:39,666
that's what she brings out of him
through the arc of our series.
768
00:41:40,541 --> 00:41:45,750
A more paternal sense to him that
life isn't just about living by the book.
769
00:41:46,583 --> 00:41:51,375
At first, he doesn't trust her
to be able to look after herself,
770
00:41:52,083 --> 00:41:54,875
and then he slowly realizes
she's not only able to,
771
00:41:54,958 --> 00:41:58,291
but by the end she's
absolutely involved in the escape.
772
00:41:58,666 --> 00:42:03,750
So, he's found a trust in her and
she brings out a more human side to him.
773
00:42:06,916 --> 00:42:09,041
CHOW:
One thing that Star Wars
does make you feel
774
00:42:09,125 --> 00:42:11,375
is you feel the connection to family.
775
00:42:12,125 --> 00:42:15,666
I think a lot of these films, for me,
and I think for a lot of people I know,
776
00:42:15,750 --> 00:42:18,208
Star Wars
was something
you saw with your family,
777
00:42:18,291 --> 00:42:21,541
and so, your family sort of
tied in to the experience of it.
778
00:42:23,291 --> 00:42:26,125
One of the things that was
really interesting in bringing back
779
00:42:26,208 --> 00:42:29,791
a lot of the legacy characters is that
they know these characters.
780
00:42:29,875 --> 00:42:34,416
They have also lived with these characters
and lived in the public perception,
781
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:36,791
as being these characters for years.
782
00:42:41,916 --> 00:42:45,333
Hayden is Anakin Skywalker,
and he knows this.
783
00:42:46,083 --> 00:42:48,500
So, to have them bring all that knowledge,
784
00:42:48,583 --> 00:42:52,000
and it's more than knowledge,
it's more instinct and emotional.
785
00:42:52,666 --> 00:42:56,500
They just know what feels right
for their characters. It's invaluable.
786
00:42:58,958 --> 00:43:02,000
CHRISTENSEN:
It's a very
meditative process for me.
787
00:43:03,083 --> 00:43:07,958
Sometimes my mind wanders, mostly about
the scene we're about to do.
788
00:43:09,583 --> 00:43:12,375
The difference between
Anakin and Darth Vader...
789
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,333
Is Anakin completely gone or not?
790
00:43:16,916 --> 00:43:21,458
He is fully Darth Vader,
he is fully consumed by the dark side,
791
00:43:22,458 --> 00:43:27,375
but I like to believe that there's always
a little bit of Anakin still in there.
792
00:43:28,416 --> 00:43:31,041
As it was explained to me by George Lucas,
793
00:43:31,750 --> 00:43:35,375
even when he becomes Darth Vader,
and even when he's
794
00:43:37,041 --> 00:43:40,583
fully immersed in the dark side,
he is still the Chosen One.
795
00:43:45,291 --> 00:43:49,625
CHOW:
As the series goes on, it's becoming
more and more about Obi-Wan and Vader
796
00:43:49,708 --> 00:43:52,750
and about the inevitable collision
that's about to happen.
797
00:43:54,125 --> 00:43:57,958
At this point,
Obi-Wan is at his full powers again
798
00:43:58,208 --> 00:44:01,916
and he is strong
and his mind is at peace finally
799
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,458
and he realizes that he has to meet Vader.

CHOW: Three, two, one, action!
802
00:44:15,666 --> 00:44:17,791
We looked at
a lot of the prequel fighting,
803
00:44:17,875 --> 00:44:21,458
'cause we wanted to tie into it
to show this is sort of the origins
804
00:44:21,541 --> 00:44:23,208
and this is how they are trained.
805
00:44:23,833 --> 00:44:27,708
And then we started to take it bigger
and add some more modern elements to it.
806
00:44:29,166 --> 00:44:32,000
And as the fight went on,
nobody can get the high ground.
807
00:44:32,083 --> 00:44:35,000
They will fight to the death,
that's how this is gonna go.
808

00:44:44,291 --> 00:44:47,208
sees his former apprentice
one last time,
811
00:44:47,291 --> 00:44:50,875
tries to connect with Anakin
and gets rejected.
812
00:44:51,416 --> 00:44:53,083
So, it's a heartbreaking scene.
813
00:44:54,041 --> 00:44:56,666
MCGREGOR:
I think there's something
about the acceptance,
814
00:44:56,750 --> 00:44:59,708
more than, he's then able to kill him,
which he doesn't do.
815
00:44:59,791 --> 00:45:04,250
He's able to walk away
from carrying this terrible guilt.
816
00:45:04,416 --> 00:45:09,791
He sees that Anakin is no longer there,
that Vader is Vader.
817
00:45:09,875 --> 00:45:12,958
So he's able to move on.
There's a bit of closure for Obi-Wan.
818
00:45:14,666 --> 00:45:17,750
With Vader, a large part
of what we were trying to do is
819
00:45:18,666 --> 00:45:23,500
show this emotional drive
that Vader has about Obi-Wan
820
00:45:23,583 --> 00:45:26,166
is that that's
something that he has to let go of.
821
00:45:26,958 --> 00:45:28,541
WOMAN: Okay, Ian, you good?
IAN McDIARMID: Good.
822
00:45:30,791 --> 00:45:33,208
CHOW:
In the final scene
with Vader and Palpatine,
823
00:45:33,291 --> 00:45:35,916
that's what Palpatine
is trying to say to him,
824
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,541
is that obsession with Obi-Wan
is weakness.
825
00:45:39,625 --> 00:45:41,250
If you're gonna live in the past,
826
00:45:41,333 --> 00:45:44,000
this emotional Vader that's coming out
827
00:45:44,375 --> 00:45:46,625
is not what we need for the future.
828
00:45:47,208 --> 00:45:52,125
I wonder if your thoughts
are clear on this, Lord Vader.
829
00:45:53,125 --> 00:45:59,000
Perhaps your feelings for your old master
have left you weakened.
830
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,250
Because obviously, we can play that
with more of an edge
831
00:46:03,333 --> 00:46:05,208
and some that are more casual.
832
00:46:05,291 --> 00:46:07,916
Just feel free to do a range in there.
833
00:46:08,583 --> 00:46:10,708
Does everything else
feel like it's making sense?
834
00:46:10,791 --> 00:46:13,958
Yes, I think so. I keep forgetting
the word "execute" for some reason.
835
00:46:14,041 --> 00:46:15,916
(CHUCKLES) You'd think that would be
a word you could remember.
836
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,583
-Yeah.
-(CHOW CHUCKLES)
837
00:46:19,791 --> 00:46:22,833

So he's forced
into letting go of the past
838
00:46:22,916 --> 00:46:24,708
in order to be able to move forward
839
00:46:24,791 --> 00:46:27,458
and become the Darth Vader
that will move into A New Hope.
840
00:46:33,208 --> 00:46:35,000
MCGREGOR:
At the end of our series,
841
00:46:35,083 --> 00:46:38,208
there's a great growth from
this broken faithless man
842
00:46:38,291 --> 00:46:39,750
at the beginning to the end,
843
00:46:39,833 --> 00:46:44,208
he's had to accept that this is who he is
and he's got his faith back.
844
00:46:45,541 --> 00:46:48,041
And Qui-Gon does finally appear. Yeah.
845
00:46:48,458 --> 00:46:50,333
It was so amazing to work with Liam again,
846
00:46:50,416 --> 00:46:53,791
because, of course, I only worked
with Liam in the first film, you know.
847
00:46:54,458 --> 00:46:58,916
So amazing to see him again as Qui-Gon,
you know. It's just incredible.
848
00:47:00,458 --> 00:47:02,750
LIAM NEESON:
I spoke to Deborah
a number of months ago.
849
00:47:03,333 --> 00:47:07,375
And she told me that
Ewan was going to do this series
850
00:47:07,458 --> 00:47:10,208
and Deborah's,
"Just something towards the end
851
00:47:10,291 --> 00:47:15,416
"where Obi-Wan has gone through some
journey and he's reaching out for help...
852
00:47:16,583 --> 00:47:19,083
"and you're not there,"
that's Qui-Gon Jinn.
853
00:47:19,958 --> 00:47:22,833
"And then, he sees you."
854
00:47:24,541 --> 00:47:27,875
And I thought, "Yeah, I'm on board,
I'm definitely onboard with that."
855
00:47:29,083 --> 00:47:32,041
It was at once very familiar,
856
00:47:32,666 --> 00:47:34,625
and at the same time, I kept thinking,
857
00:47:34,708 --> 00:47:39,625
"Wait a minute, it's 24 years
since we made
The Phantom Menace."
858
00:47:41,333 --> 00:47:43,916
And here we were
with a whole brand-new crew.
859
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,833
Deborah, this wonderful director.
860
00:47:45,916 --> 00:47:47,625
It was lovely to see Ewan.
861
00:47:47,708 --> 00:47:50,250
And so the myth
and the storytelling goes on.
862
00:47:53,666 --> 00:47:57,291

Obi-Wan has re-established
a connection with Qui-Gon,
863
00:47:57,375 --> 00:48:01,000
and he's back to being
the Obi-Wan that we knew and loved.
864
00:48:02,041 --> 00:48:06,125
And it's because of Leia,
and it's because of characters like Tala,
865
00:48:06,250 --> 00:48:09,708
who bring that faith back to him,
who bring hope back to him.

I don't think
there's anything like Star Wars.

It's just everywhere.
894
00:49:51,041 --> 00:49:53,708
I often think about George,
back in the '70s,
895
00:49:53,791 --> 00:49:57,916
writing A New Hope
and what he must feel
about what he's created.

It's been a great honor
and a privilege
907
00:50:41,541 --> 00:50:43,041
to get to play this character.
908
00:50:45,125 --> 00:50:49,916
The gift that George Lucas gave me
when he cast me in this role was profound.
909
00:50:53,958 --> 00:50:56,416
Coming back now
to do more with this character,
910
00:50:56,500 --> 00:51:00,208
I just felt a big responsibility,
not only to George,
911
00:51:00,291 --> 00:51:02,875
but to all of these people
912
00:51:02,958 --> 00:51:07,083
that have contributed to making
this character so great and iconic.
913
00:51:10,833 --> 00:51:13,916
Star Wars
has this staying power.
914
00:51:16,916 --> 00:51:19,958
And I think that's because
we're able to learn about ourselves
915
00:51:20,041 --> 00:51:21,875
and the world around us through them.
916
00:51:22,458 --> 00:51:24,333
And we learn about good and evil,
917
00:51:24,416 --> 00:51:25,875
and what it is to be a hero,
918
00:51:26,291 --> 00:51:29,000
giving yourself to something
bigger than you.
919
00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:32,000

now allowed others

to come in and build upon.
921
00:51:35,125 --> 00:51:37,708
It's exciting to see the saga continue.

00:51:39,041 --> 00:51:42,916

Coming into the Star Wars
galaxy
and getting to be part of this world,
923
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,166
it's pretty special.

such an emotional relationship to it

929

different generations involved in it

and there are so many
people who care so passionately about it.
931
00:52:10,583 --> 00:52:12,541
George Lucas created these characters
932
00:52:12,625 --> 00:52:16,250
that are so rich and that have
such huge inner lives.

a 50-year-old man crying like I was
in the movie theater in 1977.
974
00:55:22,875 --> 00:55:25,500
MAN 2:
It's nice to see Ewan
back in this role,
975
00:55:25,958 --> 00:55:28,625
having Hayden come back
and step in as Darth Vader,
976
00:55:28,708 --> 00:55:30,708
it was just such a great pairing.
977
00:55:31,958 --> 00:55:33,791
(LAUGHS)
978
00:55:33,875 --> 00:55:34,875
Kinda like us.
979
00:55:37,791 --> 00:55:40,416
CHRISTENSEN:
You know,
this whole experience has been
980
00:55:40,500 --> 00:55:42,000
rather emotional for me.
981
00:55:42,083 --> 00:55:44,250
I couldn't help
but get a little bit choked up.
982
00:55:47,958 --> 00:55:51,625
MCGREGOR:
There's this warmth
from the kids who we made those films for.
983
00:55:52,208 --> 00:55:56,708
We were their Star Wars
in the same
way as Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford
984
00:55:56,791 --> 00:55:59,083
and Alec Guinness
were my
Star Wars films.
985
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:02,625
CHOW:
We worked very hard for three years.
986
00:56:02,708 --> 00:56:03,958
And we did it for the fans.
987
00:56:04,041 --> 00:56:06,916
So, it was really nice to be able to
come out and share it with them.
988
00:56:09,916 --> 00:56:13,916
