Deborah was like, "She's gutsy and full of energy running up trees. The first thing I did was more like the adult theme, and it had a flute, and then that felt wrong. The young Leia theme, I did many versions of, actually. So that Inquisitor's theme was an early slam dunk. She was like, "Oh yes, this is perfect." She wanted something modern, and rhythmic, and driving. She came over to London for two days, and we watched through all episodes, and chatted, and just got our heads together, and I played her a few themes that I'd come up with, including that Inquisitor's theme. HOLT: Deborah came over when I got the job in December. In terms of character motifs, what were some of the differences between what you would compose for someone like Obi-Wan versus Leia or even Vader? What were the defining instruments that you wanted to lead with to reflect those characters? But I did put a little bonus on the album as well, because I recorded "Ready to Go," which was also a version of the friendship theme that I did for Obi and Leia. That was my original Obi theme, and it turned into the Obi and Leia friendship theme.

It's called "Holding Hands." It's where Obi and Leia hold hands in Episode 4. But I wrote a Kenobi theme, which Deborah liked actually, and we ended up keeping it. HOLT: I only had a month, really, before he came on board, So it wasn't too bad. How far was it into production? Do you remember how far you were into composing? It just made it more clear, like, "Okay, he's set the tone, and I've got the tent poles now, the parameters within which to write." I was a bit worried about that.īut John coming on board, he watched it through and gave permission for us to use his themes in Episode 6, and in various points, and so that unlocked the style palette a bit. Once John came on board, it was a problem because it's like, "Oh gosh, but how are people going to feel if they're seeing Darth Vader, and they're not hearing his theme, and there's no payoff in Episode 6?" I can't write a new Darth Vader theme. So at the beginning, it was a bit more like, "We want to do something bold and new and different for Star Wars," maybe more minimal or more emotional and spare. HOLT: Well, we weren't sure if we were going to be allowed to use John's themes, because he wasn't on board with his Kenobi theme yet at that point.
#MY OH MY STAR WARS SERIES#
The series also stars Moses Ingram, Sung Kang, Rupert Friend, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Maya Erskine, Zach Braff, Simone Kessell, Joel Edgerton, and Bonnie Piesse. In the process, he's also forced to confront his former Padawan, as well as finally let go of the guilt he's shouldered ever since the events that occurred on Mustafar between them years ago. The threat to the twin descendants of Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader ( Hayden Christensen/ James Earl Jones), still looms, and when Princess Leia Organa ( Vivien Lyra Blair) is kidnapped from her home planet of Alderaan, her adoptive father Bail ( Jimmy Smits) calls in a favor to an old friend, which sends Kenobi on a mission to rescue Leia before her father can be made aware of her existence.


Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi, which hails from director Deborah Chow, bridges even more of the gap between the events of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope, providing a glimpse into what the titular Jedi (played by Ewan McGregor, in his return to the role) was up to while lending a watchful eye over a young Luke Skywalker ( Grant Feely) growing up on Tatooine - from a distance, of course.
