'It was one of the difficult things about being in the prequels,' Ewan McGregor said. 'When they came out, they were not seemingly well received.'
. But the prequel trilogy was less successful by other metrics. The critics were harsh — and legions of fans reared on the original space opera were especially despondent.
In time, however, McGregor discovered what might be characterized as a vibe shift around the movies. He encountered millennials — people who were just kids when the prequels rolled out in the late 1990s and the early 2000s — who felt immense nostalgia for the tales of Padmé Amidala, Darth Maul and even Jar Jar Binks.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi" is the third Disney+ original series set in the sprawling"Star Wars" universe, following in the footsteps of"The Mandalorian" and"The Book of Boba Fett," two spaghetti Western-style adventures following the interplanetary exploits of masked bounty hunters and their compatriots. "Disney asked me to come in one day for a meeting because they kept seeing on social media that I was saying I would like to play Obi-Wan Kenobi again. It looked like I was touting for work at Disney's door," McGregor joked.
"I think, first and foremost, I was most excited about doing a character-driven story," Chow said Thursday, adding that she was also fond of the moody visual style of"Rogue One," a"Star Wars" spinoff film released in 2016.
When Ingram read a version of the"Obi-Wan" script, she was not even aware it was a"Star Wars" project, recalling that names and other telltale details were strategically withheld during the audition process. But she was drawn to the script's"edgy" feel — and when she later learned about the"Star Wars" link,"I couldn't say no."
