âObi-Wan Kenobi writer and executive producer Joby Harold tells Nerdist, âThe guiding principle that I had throughout was that it had to be a 360-degree view on Obi-Wan. Who he was, what heâd been through, and everything was fair game because heâs the byproduct of those experiences.â And those experiences include PadmĂ©. A fierce leader and fighter and Obi-Wanâs friend, PadmĂ© made an impression. Obi-Wan sees PadmĂ© in her daughter, Leia. Harold says, âSheâs a massive part of where he was, who he was. The guilt to which you speak, that is really important. And itâs not what the show is about. But to not acknowledge Padmé⊠I agree sheâs a massive part of the prequels, and I just didnât want her to not be part of the conversation of the show because she deserves to be. PadmĂ© and her relationship with everyone, and the residual feelings of the past and that which he carries with him, sheâs part of that.ââ thank you thank you thank you thank you
