With Obi-Wan Kenobi series now streaming on Disney+, I got to speak with director Deborah Chow about helming the newest Star Wars series.
RELATED: Ewan McGregor on ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi,’ How It Feels Like One Long Movie, and the Possibility of More SeasonsCOLLIDER: I could not be more excited for your series. Just want to start with that. Just so amped up for this one.If someone has actually never seen any Star Wars, can they watch this series or do you want to recommend the things they need to watch to get ready for it?
CHOW: It's interesting because I'd obviously done a lot of, gone pretty deep for Mandalorian, but then I went very deep for Kenobi and I really looked at a lot of the stuff in the Extended Universe and especially connected to stuff that we might touch on.
CHOW: It's interesting, almost everything was on the screen. There was very little actually that got cut. Obviously we were shooting this through COVID and it is quite an ambitious project. So it was kind of great actually at the end of the day that the vast majority of what we shot actually is on screen.
