Obi-Wan Kenobi Director Deborah Chow on Crafting the Lightsaber Fights

With Obi-Wan Kenobi series now streaming on Disney , I got to speak with director Deborah Chow about helming the newest Star Wars series. During the interview, Chow talked about how she prepped to make the series, how a Sideshow Collectibles Obi-Wan status gave her inspiration, why she’s so excited for fans to see the final episode, what it was like crafting the lighsaber fights and how fans will see a “whole new set of lightsabers and different actions that we haven’t seen in live action” because of the Inquisitors. In addition, she talked about the lack of deleted scenes, how every episode is under an hour, and a lot more. Obi-Wan Kenobi is set ten years after Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and also stars Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader. In addition, the cast is made up of Joel Edgerton, Moses Ingram (Inquisitor Reva), Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie. The series premieres exclusively on Disney on
