Obi-Wan Kenobi director Deborah Chow calls Star Wars series 'tough period' for the Jedi as it's 10 years after Revenge of the Sith.
✖ Before the Disney Star Wars spinoff movies and shows came along there wasn't much, if any, representation in live-action about what occurred in-between the"Episodes" of the main saga. With the release of Rogue One, Solo, The Mandalorian, and the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi, the time before and after these pillars of the franchise is being readily explored .
"The story for us, it takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith. So we are right between the prequels and the original trilogy," series director Deborah Chow told Entertainment Weekly."And really, it's a character story about Obi-Wan.
Regarding his relationship with Anakin, which sure seems like there's going to be one hell of a rematch between them, Chow added:"At this point, both for and for the galaxy, it's quite a dark period. And that actually made it really interesting to be telling a story in this period. It's a time when the Empire's ascending, it's post Order 66. So most of the Jedi have been killed. A lot of them are being hunted by the Inquisitors.
