OBI-WAN KENOBI Series Also Rumored to Be Looking to Cast a Young Leia Organa
A few days ago, we reported that LucasFilm may be looking to cast a young Luke Skywalker in its upcoming Disney+ series following Obi-Wan Kenobi. According to backstage (via CBM), a casting call went out this week amid reports that the series is looking to cast its Luke that includes descriptions that match the famous twins from a galaxy far, far away. It says:
"Blonde male talent, aged 8–11, with blue eyes, and brunette female talent, aged 8–11, with brown eyes is wanted."
This hasn’t been officially confirmed to be who we think it is, but it sure does fit the bill. And Luke and Leia are such beloved characters who we haven’t explored at this age, so I’ll be really excited if and when we learn this is happening. Ewan McGregor is such a fantastic actor, and after the success of The Mandalorian, I can’t wait to see this series!
What do you think of Luke and Leia joining this series?
