- I feel like "surreal" is the only word for it,
and, uh, it's--
like, I'm on a Star Wars digital show
and now I'm sitting next to Ewan McGregor
trying to pretend I'm not sitting next to Ewan McGregor,
so it's like, I don't know, it's legit.
- [laughing] - I did--
[laughter]
But it's an honor. I'm really happy to be here.
[upbeat music]
Hello, Star Wars fans, it's me, Krystina Arielle,
and usually I'm here to talk to you about
Star Wars: The High Republic, but not today.
Today I'm here to take you on an adventure behind the scenes
of the new Disney+ series "Obi-Wan Kenobi.,
where I'll be a background actor.
Like Obi-Wa-- - Ready for you.
- And it starts now!
Getting dressed, it's so fun!
- For what you're wearing, and all of our background here,
we've defined what all the cultural,
climate action requirements of each planet, each sequence is.
- And the one thing about my hair is that--
- It's beautiful!
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
She's just too clean. Her hair's a little too perfect
when she coming in.
- So what are we doing today?
- Oh, you know, dirt and more dirt.
Wounds and more wounds.
- In here is the official franchise booth photo gallery.
I'm gonna take some pictures to then become canon!
[upbeat music]
- You know, the great thing about what we're doing is,
we're tying the whole universe together now.
So we're telling all the in-between stories
that we never really had a chance to explore.
It's so sweet, because this is an era and a character that I adore.
- All I can think about is the times as a kid
where I was watching Star Wars and I was just, you know,
so compelled, so into it.
And little did I know, I just gotta be a little bit more patient
and I'll be right there.
- It's, like, so crazy, like,
sometimes I forget what I'm doing,
and then I'll see something and be like, "Oh, snap.
I'm doing Star Wars." - [laughs]
- And, like, my mind will have, like, a whole moment, like,
I don't know, it's wild.
- What kind of advice would you give someone
who wants to be a background actor or an actor?
- You just gotta come and do it and see if you like it,
and one thing can lead to another to another.
I always wanted to be an actor when I was a kid,
and everything was aimed towards that.
Tell me what you do. What is your show li--
what is it you do?
- I host a show called "Star Wars: The High Republic Show."
So we talk about the new era of Star Wars, the High Republic.
I do interviews in my garage.
- In your garage? - You can come see it, if you want to.
- I'd like to--I'd like to do that.
- We're ready for you, Ewan. - Oh, okay.
Well, listen, I'll see you in the galaxy far, far away.
- Bye. - See you later. Bye, guys.
- Thank you. - Cheers.
- That was Ewan McGregor!
[upbeat music]
So we're in the Volume.
This is where--literally where the magic happens.
One of the big things is going where you're told
and I try to make sure to do my best on the set,
to just stay quiet and focused.
Oh, my gosh, it's Deborah Chow. She's so cool.
- Background! Action.
- Absolutely beautiful. Really glad to be a part of it.
- Let's give a giant "hello there"
to Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen!
[crowd chanting] Obi-Wan! Obi-Wan! Obi-Wan!
- I know this is not my garage, but it is a really comfy couch.
- Yeah, it'll do.
Probably not as cool as your garage, but it'll do.
- Being a part of this journey, with me personally,
it's meant the absolute world.
- It was amazing, wasn't it? On set?
It was just brilliant.
- Your kindness every day on set really just meant a lot to me.
- Oh, that's nice.
Well, I had such a ball doing it.
It was such a great experience making the show.
Really great.
It's been a sort of journey of discovery for me
to the point where here I am with a piece of work that I really am proud of.
I've never been to a Star Wars Celebration before, this is my first one.
It's so amazing to go out there and feel that energy
and that warmth from the fans.
- Thank you so much. - It was nice to see you again.
Yeah, take care. - You too.
- Thank you so much.
- And that's been my experience with "Obi-Wan Kenobi,"
and I hope that you all enjoy the series,
and I'm still sitting next to Ewan McGregor!
[laughter]
