Obi-Wan Kenobi Image Unites Star Wars Show's Young Luke & Leia Actors

Warning! SPOILERS for Obi-Wan Kenobi episodes 1 & 2 ahead.

A new behind-the-scenes image from the Obi-Wan Kenobi set unites the young Luke and Leia actors. Obi-Wan Kenobi recently premiered on Disney+ and will run weekly on the platform as a six episode miniseries. Grant Feely plays the young version of Star Wars hero Luke Skywalker. Young Leia is played by actress Vivien Lyra Blair. The series is set in a time period in between the prequels and the original trilogy, and follows Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on the desert planet Tatoonie during his exile. Obi-Wan Kenobi watches over the young Skywalker from afar, but becomes much closer to the little Leia over the course of the opening episodes.

Child actors Blair and Feely are both relatively new to the acting scene. Feely has only made minor appearances in the past, including an acting appearance in a segment of the show Creepshow. Blair played a supporting role as Girl in the dystopian thriller Bird Box. The two young actors join Star Wars veterans Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars, along with seasoned but new-to-Star Wars actors Benny Safdie as Nari, Rupert Friend as the Grand Inquisitor, and Kumail Nanjiani as Haja Estree.

Now, a behind-the-scenes photo (via Duchess of Darksaber Light)shows Blair and Feely in the same frame. The two school-aged actors are not in costume in the photo, though Blair sports a hairdo reminiscent of her Leia stylings. Though not depicting his Star Wars character, Feely sports an adorable Baby Yoda t-shirt in the photo. Check out the photo, below:

Feely and Blair both appeared in the first episode of the series as boisterous young Luke and Leia living their disparate lives. Blair’s young Leia appeared in both of the episodes that have been released. The actress has shown promising beginnings in Obi-Wan’s early episodes. She is already a favorite as young Leia, who is slated to appear throughout all six episodes of the series.

With Blair’s further publicity attention in behind-the-scenes images such as this one with Feely, she is sure to receive even more adoration for her role. Obi-Wan Kenobi’s initial episodes have already demonstrated greater interest in young princess Leia than previous Star Wars iterations have. In the hands of a stellar, charismatic, young talent like Blair, young Leia will likely continue to have spotlight-stealing moments in the remainder of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Viewers will get a taste of what Obi-Wan Kenobi has to offer for young Leia as Obi-Wan Kenobi releases episodes on Wednesdays on Disney+.
