Game of Thrones actress Indira Varma has said that the vibe on the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series is very much like an independent film, crediting director Deborah Chow & Ewan McGregor, going on to say there were no fraying tempers.
Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi star Indira Varma recently noted that, despite the scope of the story, director Deborah Chow created a vibe similar to shooting an independent film while actually bringing the story to life. The actor also pointed out that, despite having a passion for telling this particular story, she personally wasn’t a major Star Wars fans, so she often finds herself asking Chow and co-star Ewan McGregor for an explanation on some of the scenes they are filming.
“It’s such a beast, like an octopus that needs wrangling but I’m having a brilliant time,” Varma shared with Metro News. “Obviously, I can’t say anything about any of it but director Deborah Chow and Ewan on the acting side have somehow made it feel like an independent movie. Everyone has input, there are no fraying tempers.”
Varma also admitted that she has the same confusion regarding the chronological order of the entire franchise.
“It’s all new to me and really embarrassing,” the actor joked. “I keep getting called out on stuff but I did play Princess Leia in the playground when I was six without having seen it – I had long plaits so I could do the hair. I’ve watched all the old ones now but I wouldn’t say I’m up to speed. I’m still not sure what order they all go in.”
