play a pivotal role in the new Disney+ hit. Spoiler alert: Harold, who doubles as writer and executive producer of the series, joked that he had to warn his offspring he would be forced to disown them if they told anyone how important Princess Leia was to the journey that Obi-Wan was about to go on, reports Newsweek. “I didn’t tell a lot of people.
I kept it a big secret — but within my home someone’s got to, you know?” Harold told the outlet. “[To] carry the weight with me, I can’t do it all by myself.”He continued: “They had known about Leia and that was the one thing I [said] ‘I will disown you if ever you [tell someone],’ because they knew the codename [for Leia] so they figured it out, and I was just like ‘you can never tell a soul.'”In the series, Leia — played by 10-year-old Vivien Lyra Blair — is kidnapped by an Inquisitor named Reva (Moses Ingram) to lure exiled Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) out of hiding and into the clutches of Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen). “I think I was probably supposed to do that, I knew that,” Harold said when asked about whether or not he was supposed to keep the secret from his family. “I couldn’t not tell them, you know?”“So we shared responsibility, and they were very good about keeping it to themselves because they were sworn to secrecy,” he added.Harold’s kids did not disappoint their father, as fans were unaware of the princess’ involvement until the series premiered on May 27, 2022. “[I’m] happy and nervous in equal amounts, happy that it seemed to resonate for audiences when that was revealed,” Harold said.
