“Obi-Wan Kenobi writer and executive producer Joby Harold tells Nerdist, ‘The guiding principle that I had throughout was that it had to be a 360-degree view on Obi-Wan. Who he was, what he’d been through, and everything was fair game because he’s the byproduct of those experiences.’ And those experiences include Padmé. A fierce leader and fighter and Obi-Wan’s friend, Padmé made an impression. Obi-Wan sees Padmé in her daughter, Leia. Harold says, ‘She’s a massive part of where he was, who he was. The guilt to which you speak, that is really important. And it’s not what the show is about. But to not acknowledge Padmé… I agree she’s a massive part of the prequels, and I just didn’t want her to not be part of the conversation of the show because she deserves to be. Padmé and her relationship with everyone, and the residual feelings of the past and that which he carries with him, she’s part of that.‘” thank you thank you thank you thank you
