But it should make for some thrilling close calls when it comes to the search for Kenobi in the series. That being said, we all know how his hunt ends thanks to A New Hope.

Anakin (Vader) knows Obi-Wan is alive, but because of his duties to the Empire, he can not allow the Jedi to survive. And if this ends up being the truth, it’s really going to be a bittersweet series. This character was an Inquisitor, one of the Imperials who were tasked with finding the remaining Jedi who survived Order 66. Carrie Fisher will forever be synonymous with Star Warss Princess Leia, but there were few other actresses up for the role before her. For many women, Leia is a hero first and a sex symbol second. So this would just give us more information about what it was like for the two droids to serve the Organas after Padme’s death and before encountering Luke.įinally, Cinelinx has reported that actor Sung Kang may be playing one of the villains of the series, a character who first appeared in Star Wars Rebels: Fifth Brother. Star Wars: The Actresses Who Almost Played Princess Leia. Leia, despite the sexy metal bikinis, became a symbol for women looking for representation in film, and she was anything but your typical damsel in distress. R2-D2 and C-3PO are just as much the main characters of the Skywalker saga as any other character, even appearing in the animated shows. With them being passed down to the royal family around this time, this lines up with the reports about Leia being cast. On top of Leia, LRM has also reported that R2-D2 and C-3PO will supposedly be in the show. Though, as a Jedi on the run, it makes us wonder how easy will it be to keep a low profile if he will be potentially paying a visit to Alderaan (or perhaps even seeing Bail Organa himself again). But if he’s to check on Leia as well, then that will make the show much more interesting. And it sounded like we would be getting to see what it was like for Obi-Wan on the planet while he watched over Luke. That’s quite interesting to hear, given we know at least part of the journey will take place on Tatooine. And the most interesting part about this scoop, as Cinelinx says, is that “the stuff dealing with Leia is pretty much the impetus for the whole show and what gets Obi-Wan (Ben) into another adventure.”

A post shared by Vivien Lyra Blair on LRM, they also were able to confirm from their sources that Leia will appear in the series.
