Are these new rumored Obi-Wan casting details for Luke and Leia? Read on for more details.
The Obi-Wan Disney+ Star Wars show is currently still being scripted by Joby Harold, far as we know. However, there have been a lot of rumors lately regarding the Obi-Wan show. We here at LRM kinda started that by revealing Hayden Christensen was in talks, then later signed to appear in the upcoming show. Realistically though, we still know almost nothing about what Obi-Wan’s plot will be. We can guess at some Clone Wars flashbacks given Christensen’s presence, but that’s about it.
One character we would probably expect to see, even if only momentarily is Luke Skywalker. It’s unsurprising to imagine Lucasfilm will cast a young actor as Luke. However, the idea of a young Leia showing up, is somewhat less obvious. Yet, if we take any clues from this latest rumoured casting call, then Leia may in fact show up. The Illuminerdi claims to have seen a casting call for,
(Girl) Caucasian, 8-11 years old, to portray a precocious girl.
(Boy) Caucasian, 8-11 years old, to portray a precocious boy.

The outlet seems to think these are important roles, not just extras. The obvious conclusion to jump to here is Luke and Leia. Saying that, sometimes the brain can play tricks on us. We Humans see patterns that are not really there at times. The outlet themselves seem to think Luke and Leia, and I can’t blame them for going in this direction. That doesn’t mean it’s 100% though.
Some fans have already begun to moan that Leia shouldn’t be in the Obi-Wan show. I’ll wait and see, there are a number of ways Leia could be in this show that would be bad, yes. But, there are also tons of options for something that would work well. Then we must add in the fact that we don’t really know this is for Luke and Leia at all? So no panic stations here. As with all Star Wars shows on Disney+, I’ll judge each on its own merits when it is time to do so.
What do you think of these new rumored Obi-Wan casting details? Does this point to Luke and Leia showing up or not? Leave your thoughts below.
