There is one other performer on the list who has inspired some fan speculation. Many will likely be new characters, but there’s a chance one or two might be playing someone we’ve seen before. So there’s no telling who Kumail Nanjiani, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, or Benny Safdie might play. The other roles are harder to parse, and past Lucasfilm casting announcements never specify when an actor is voicing a droid or appearing behind heavy creature makeup. After her scene-stealing work in The Queen’s Gambit, expect to see a lot of her in this series. If this were a call-sheet for the production, that would tell you she’s one of the upcoming show’s main characters. There’s no certainty about who Moses Ingram plays, but the cast list was not alphabetical or randomized in any other clear way-so her placement on the list right behind McGregor and Christensen seems significant. The rest of the cast requires some guesswork. We always picture the past when we no longer have a present or future with someone. Whatever the case, showrunner Deborah Chow (a director of The Mandalorian) surely knows that resurrecting Anakin in his original form is how Kenobi would think of his lost friend. Since he no longer exists (that’s why the Alec Guinness version of Kenobi said he was dead, “from a certain point of view,” in the original trilogy), we can assume the character’s appearance will either be in the form of flashback or as a vision. But there are still three more episodes to go filled with storm troopers, ambitious Inquisitors, and of course the ruthless Darth Vader himself.The only reason to cast Christensen, then, is to bring back Anakin Skywalker. In spite of some pretty stacked odds facing her, the eponymous Jedi, and the young Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair), her character survives episode 3 of the series. It remains to be seen if Indira Varma’s time in Star Wars could go past Obi-Wan Kenobi. “That’s my life! It’s a lot of people’s lifetimes.” In season 4’s “The Mountain and The Viper,” Oberyn’s presumed victory over Gregor Clegane is ruined when Clegane crushes Oberyn’s head with his hands.Īsked about the difference between working on Star Wars and being a part of Game of Thrones, Indira Varma said joining the former franchise was more “daunting” because it’s been a part of the pop culture landscape for so much longer than the latter. Among other things, Oberyn is famous for being on the receiving end of one of the most brutal deaths in the series. Her character was the passionate paramour of Prince Oberyn Martell, played by Pedro Pascal - the future star of The Mandalorian. Indira Varma is perhaps best known as the actress who played Ellaria Sand on HBO’s fantasy series Game of Thrones, and she was there with another future Star Wars actor. “I feel so privileged because of the way they tell stories.” “atching over the decades how it’s evolved and become more modern and reflects the society - it’s become very exciting to be part of it and not just in terms of gender but also in terms of ethnicity and diversity,” Varma said. Instead, she’s been happy about the changes made to the franchise over the years. “Princess Leia, that was my hero because I had long hair I could do in those lovely wraps, but it didn’t feel like it was for me.” Indira Varma in Obi-Wan Kenobiīut, before you scream bloody murder, Indira Varma says she’s had a change of heart, though not because she’s changed. “As a young girl growing up in England, I didn’t particularly feel served by Star Wars because it was predominantly male,” Varma told THR. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published after her Obi-Wan Kenobi premiere, Indira Varma admitted she wasn’t always the biggest admirer of the far, far away galaxy.
