Obi-Wan Kenobi
Summary
Joel Edgerton , who present Owen Lars inObi - Wan Kenobiand the prequel trilogy , recently spoke about how he call up the show turned Uncle Owen into one of the unspoilt Father inStar Wars . Owen Lars has been hugely important toStar Wars , albeit quite stealthily , since the originalStar Wars , which was later retitledA New Hope . He was responsible for protecting Luke Skywalker , one ofthe most knock-down Jedi ever , and he kept him secure and away from Darth Vader ’s attention for years . Owen got a significantly larger , and more exciting , role inObi - Wan Kenobi , and Edgerton recently reminisce about theStar Warsshow .
In an interview with Ryan Britt ofInverse , Edgerton talked about why he reprised the role of Owen forObi - Wan Kenobi , what he wanted to achieve with another appearing , and how he matte up about Owen ’s delineation in the show .
“ I ’ve always jest that I ’m the most boring theatrical role in Star Wars account , ” Edgerton say . “ Everyone always saw Uncle Owen as just the uncle that wo n’t lease Luke do something — which he is — but to understand why and to see his fierce protectiveness , I think is a decent way of humanize him even more . That was my mission . I was like , ' if I ’m going to come back , I require to do something that does n’t disrupt the flow of the mode that the audience watch that world and the character , but I want to participate in a agency that feels near . ' So I was really happy with the outcome . ”
Edgerton is solely veracious about whatObi - Wan Kenobidid for Owen . InA New Hope , Owen was extremely boring and came across as an overbearing father because he was used to give Luke a rationality to leave alone Tatooine . InObi - Wan Kenobi , though , Owen got a chance to show just how much he be intimate Luke , even risking his life to protect him from Reva . Like Edgerton pointed out , Obi - Wan Kenobiwas probably the perfect way to show a novel side of such an underappreciated character .
Darth Vader ’s true identity element was maintain hidden with only a few Star Wars character knowing what happened to Anakin after Order 66 . How about Owen Lars ?
Star Wars Has Turned Uncle Owen Into A Hero (But Don’t Expect A Disney+ Spinoff)
Obi - Wan Kenobiwent a retentive way in changing how Owen was viewed , but that show also foreground a very specific moment in Owen ’s time as Luke ’s defender . Edgerton himself recognized that a spinoff " Owen Lars " show would n’t happen , as most of Owen ’s spirit was spend doing good work .
“ Imagine how much of a snooze fest it could possibly be if they just made a standalone series about Uncle Owen , ” Edgerton says with a massive grinning . “ It ’d be more like a nature documentary as he goes out and farms moisture . ”
As Edgerton take down , Owen is largely a tedious character , but that ’s also on the dot why he ’s such a majuscule begetter . Another word for " deadening " is " dependable , " and the fact that he could make Luke Skywalker , one of the most of import and search - after people in the galaxy , have a tiresomely safe life is an astonishingly telling feat . Owen may be boring , but the dedication and passion he showed to his adoptive Word saved the beetleweed , albeit indirectly .
It seems Owen ’s time being openly heroic , rather than the tranquil firebrand of valorousness he practice for most of his lifespan , is over . Still , though , Owen got to have quite an exciting second inObi - Wan Kenobi . His role in the show , and specifically his valiant effort in campaign back Reva , was one of the highlights of the entire series . It also worked utterly withObi - Wan Kenobi ’s sober , introspective tone . The fight itself was exciting , but it worked on a deeper degree : it showed that even a part like Owen , whose entire purpose was to be ordinary , can be the hero when it comes to protect his loved ones .
It is interesting to mark that while Owen likely wo n’t get a dedicatedStar Warsshow , the franchise has progressively focused on the idea of good father figures . The Mandalorianwas the first to really highlight that concept , as Din Djarin has grown into an ideal parental physique for Grogu . Good dads have continued to pop up throughoutStar Wars , though , specially through Hunter and Omega ’s relationship inStar war : The Bad Batch . It even made its way intoThe Acolytethrough Master Sol ’s relationship with Osha . Owen may not get his spinoff , but his legacy of being a undecomposed father lives on , thanks toObi - Wan Kenobi .
