Vivien Lyra Blair as Princess Leia
Vivien Lyra Blair joins the cast as a 10-year-old Princess Leia Organa, the legendary Star Wars hero originally played by Carrie Fisher. As one of the two Skywalker twins, she was born the same time the Empire rose, so you can track the timeline by her age and vice versa, if you want to.

Flea
Vect Nokru, the leader of the mercenary band that kidnaps Leia, is played by Flea, the bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is far from Flea’s first nerdy role. He also played Marty’s nemesis Needles in the Back to the Future movies!
Grant Feely as Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker may not be the focus of Obi-Wan’s attention in this series, but we still get to see him playing around the Lars homestead. That’s newcomer Grant Feely stepping into the boots of the iconic Star Wars hero.
Bail and Breha Organa
Jimmy Smits reprises his Prequel role as Leia’s adoptive father Bail Organa. Simone Kessell plays Leia’s mother Breha Organa, replacing Rebecca Jackson Mendoza from the Prequels. Star Wars books established she has glowing cybernetics replacing some of her organs, but they aren’t visible in the TV version.
Alderaan
While peaceful Alderaan most recently appeared in live action in Revenge of the Sith, it’s most famous as the planet Grand Moff Tarkin blew up to demonstrate Death Star’s power in A New Hope. Pity. At least Obi-Wan Kenobi gives us our most extensive look at Alderaan yet.
