Holy snokes!

Indira Varma stars as Tala, an undercover mole, in the Star Wars series, Obi-Wan Kenobi When the trailer for the program was very first launched, Varma’s character was presented as an Imperial officer, however upon seeing the series, audiences discovered her real representative identity which she deals with conman, Haja Estree (Kumail Nanjiani), who fulfilled Ewan McGregor‘s Obi-Wan Kenobi on Daiyu.

But that’s not Tala’s just secret. In a current interview, the Game of Thrones starlet exposed that the representative was initially composed into the script extremely in a different way.

“There had already been different incarnations of the script and the story line,” Varma informed Entertainment Weekly “And I think, originally, she was going to be a love interest.”

So why did the authors choose versus it? “They felt that it was maybe a bit clichéd where always the woman turns up and they fall in love or whatever,” Varma described. “And it’s more interesting that this is a woman with agency who is not just going to fall at the feet of Obi-Wan.”
