00:00:00.350 --> 00:00:02.520
- You know, it's something
we really did look at,

2
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:04.840
and obviously it's not
something you do lightly.

3
00:00:04.840 --> 00:00:06.040
And we didn't wanna bring him back

4
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.050
just for the sake of bringing him back.

5
00:00:08.050 --> 00:00:09.720
But really it came out of,

6
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.330
for us we're trying to
do a character show.

7
00:00:11.330 --> 00:00:12.540
It's called, "Obi-Wan Kenobi."

8
00:00:12.540 --> 00:00:14.690
So we really were looking at him going,

9
00:00:14.690 --> 00:00:16.650
you know, what's been
important in his life?

10
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:18.030
You know, where is he at this point?

11
00:00:18.030 --> 00:00:20.430
And we're coming out
of Revenge of the Sith,

12
00:00:20.430 --> 00:00:21.420
and obviously everything that happened

13
00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:23.260
with Order 66 and Anakin.

14
00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:24.830
And so much of that weight

15
00:00:24.830 --> 00:00:26.450
is coming into the series with us,

16
00:00:26.450 --> 00:00:28.830
that it felt, it just felt natural

17
00:00:28.830 --> 00:00:31.520
that obviously Anakin
Vader would be part of this

18
00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:33.300
because it's so connected to where he is

19
00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:35.373
in his life at this moment.

20
00:00:35.373 --> 00:00:37.210
- So this was a consideration.

21
00:00:37.210 --> 00:00:39.010
We're not gonna watch a new hope in like,

22
00:00:39.010 --> 00:00:40.207
you know in six weeks and be like,

23
00:00:40.207 --> 00:00:42.270
"Oh, it doesn't make as much sense."

24
00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:44.750
- No, we've very much looked at it...

25
00:00:44.750 --> 00:00:46.270
You know, one of the biggest questions

26
00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:47.390
Joby and I were always asking,

27
00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:49.310
the writer and I was always asking is,

28
00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:51.450
how did he go from the end
of Revenge of the Sith,

29
00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:54.480
where he's this warrior screaming
on the banks of Mustafar,

30
00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:56.930
to sort of the calm and
the peace of Alec Guinness?

31
00:00:56.930 --> 00:00:57.800
And you know,

32
00:00:57.800 --> 00:00:59.730
something obviously
happened in that 20 years,

33
00:00:59.730 --> 00:01:00.620
and in large part,

34
00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:02.530
that's the story we're trying to tell is,

35
00:01:02.530 --> 00:01:03.810
how did he go?

36
00:01:03.810 --> 00:01:04.643
So for us,

37
00:01:04.643 --> 00:01:07.410
we were really trying to
make sure that the series,

38
00:01:07.410 --> 00:01:08.610
it was connecting to both,

39
00:01:08.610 --> 00:01:09.900
the end of the trilogy,

40
00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:10.870
the prequel trilogy,

41
00:01:10.870 --> 00:01:12.603
and hooking up to the original.
