    Three episodes into Obi-Wan Kenobi and we've only seen Bonnie Piesse as Beru Lars in one scene, where she wasn't even in focus. In a new interview, the actress teased there is more of Beru and the Lars family to be seen the rest of the way, and also hyped up the last episode, saying it will be 'extraordinary'.



    Speaking to the ComicBook Nation podcast (via ComicBook.com), Piesse described the first time she met with director Deborah Chow:



    The actress had to keep the secret for a few months until the official cast list came out in late March 2021:

    We now know that the series underwent a major rewrite shortly after Deborah Chow came on board as the director of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which resulted in the hiring of Joby Harold as the main screenwriter and the inclusion of Darth Vader in the story. While Piesse doesn't know everything that went down, she believes that after that major rewrite in early 2020, Beru became a larger part of the series:



    This is certainly surprising, as we still haven't seen her do much in the show. And while the previous quote can be considered a vague hint, the actress elaborated further and confirmed that there is more of Beru we have yet to see:

    She also teased that the Lars family has a character arc inside the show, albeit small:



    We may not see the fulfillment of that arc until the final episode, which according to Piesse, will be one to remember:



    From this, we assume Owen and Beru will have significant roles in at least the final episode. Given how secretive these Star Wars projects tend to be, actors are often not given pages from scenes they are not in, so if she is aware of at least part of what's happening in the finale, it's reasonable to suppose she has something to do with it.



    We will find out in the next couple of weeks. We are less than two days away from the release of the fourth episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Make sure to come back on Wednesday for our written review of Part IV, and tune into 'TRB Live' on Wednesday night to see our friends from The Resistance Broadcast discuss the new episode.

    This report is veeeeeeeeeeeery interesting. We can conclude from this interview that little Leia's twin brother will be making an appearance beyond the brief cameo we got in Episode One. :)
