Did your heart melt a little when ObiWan saw some of Padmé in little Leia? 😭 Then you'll love this piece of StarWars fan art 😍
A new piece of Obi-Wan Kenobi fan art highlights the similarities between young Leia and her biological mother, Padmé Amidala. Star Wars returns to Disney+ with a show starring Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprising their Star Wars prequel roles as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. The series has just hit its midway point, releasing three episodes already with the last three remaining to be rolled out.
Set a decade after Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi sees the titular Jedi Master in hiding on Tatooine following Order 66. It effectively establishes how much Obi-Wan has lost, as he is forced to lay low and resist the urge to help the oppressed to survive under the Empire's rule.
In Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3, the subject of Padmé is more explicitly tackled. Knowing that she is adopted, Leia asks Obi-Wan about her biological mother after she sensed that he knew her. While the Jedi Master doesn't name her, it's heartbreaking to see him talk about her knowing that he still feels extremely guilty about what happened to Anakin Skywalker.
When Obi-Wan first referred to Padmé, there was some confusion over who he was talking about, as some were convinced he was speaking about Duchess Satine Kryze, who also fit the description of a noble leader. But now, it seems fairly clear that he was reminiscing about the senator from Naboo. This way, the comparison makes more sense; after all, Leia is Padmé's daughter.
