Recall Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and remember the last moments of the movie. No, it’s not that Darth Vader yells “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” upon hearing the news that Padme is dead, it’s that Yoda gives advice to Obi-Wan Kenobi. “In your solitude at Tatooine, I have a workout for you.” Yoda told Obi-Wan. “An old friend learned the way to immortality… Your old master.”
Liam Neeson’s Qui-Gon Jinn was an integral part of Obi-Wan’s journey through these prequels, and anticipating the possibility of a Jedi returning as Force Ghost isn’t a leap forward. Total Film asked director Deborah Chow about Neeson’s re-appearance in a new issue of the magazine featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi on the cover.
“Obi-Wan is going on a trip,” she says. “A variety of people will come into his life. One of the things I wanted to try with this series was to keep legacy and important people in Obi-Wan’s life and add new characters. So it would be a mixture of both. But I think there will be some surprises. I hope.”
The upcoming six-part series was slated to be a limited series, and Chow confirmed that a second season wasn’t a priority.
“We really designed it like a beginning, a middle, and an end,” she says. “It’s a big story and it should always be. You can never predict what will happen in the future. But if another series happened, they would have gone through the same process to see if there was a real story. We’re obviously very closely tied to the prequel, but it’s great to have the idea that there could be more stories across the entire timeline.”
On the cover story of the new issue of Total Film magazine, Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor, and co-stars Moses Ingram and Chow recount Obi-Wan and his new adventures. In other parts of the feature, McGregor said he was “frightened” when confronting Vader, and Chow revealed that Darth Maul wouldn’t be part of the series, despite reports.

Obi-Wan Kenobi director teases Star Wars cameos: “There are surprises to come”
Think back to Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and recall the movie’s final moments. No, not Darth Vader shouting “noooooooo” after learning about Padmé’s death, but Yoda offering Obi-Wan Kenobi some guidance. “In your solitude on Tatooine, training I have for you,” Yoda tells Obi-Wan. “An old friend has learned the path to immortality… Your old master.”
Liam Neeson’s Qui-Gon Jinn was an integral part to Obi-Wan’s journey through those prequels, and it’s no leap to expect a potential reappearance from the Jedi as a Force ghost. Total Film, in the new issue of the magazine, which features Obi-Wan Kenobi on the cover, put the question of Neeson’s reappearance to director Deborah Chow – and, as you may expect, she remained tight-lipped, but did tease some surprises.
“Obi-Wan’s going on a journey,” she says. “There’s going to be different people that come into his life. One of the things I was trying to do with this series was to have the legacy, and who is important in Obi-Wan’s life, and to also have some new characters. So it’s going to be a mixture of the two. But I do think there are some surprises to come. I hope.”
The upcoming six-part series was envisioned as a limited series, with Chow confirming that a second season was not a priority.
“We really did conceive this like a beginning, middle, and end,” she continues. “It is one big story, and it was always meant to be. You can never tell what happens in the future. But, if another series were to happen, it would be the same process of making sure that there was a real story to tell. Ours is obviously very connected to the prequels, but I love the idea that there can be more stories that are all over the timeline.”
In the cover story of the new issue of Total Film magazine, Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor, co-star Moses Ingram, and Chow talk in-depth about Obi-Wan and his new adventure. Elsewhere in the feature, McGregor spoke about being “shit scared” when it came to facing down Vader, and Chow revealed that Darth Maul was never going to be part of the series, despite reports.
