Every Cameo In Obi-Wan Kenobi Ranked

By featuring young Luke Skywalker in its marketing, "Obi-Wan Kenobi" led some fans to imagine that the series would be about Obi-Wan protecting Luke on Tatooine. This was, in fact, the plan at one point, according to The Hollywood Reporter. As the project evolved, however, Leia became the real co-star of the show, while Luke's prominence diminished. Kid Luke (Grant Feely) does technically appear in three episodes, but his impact on the series in minimal. He plays with his toy T-16 skyhopper and sleeps as Reva finds the secret message that contains his true identity. We know he's safe at this point, and still relatively in the dark about the Jedi and the Empire, which means there's not a lot of dramatic tension going on. He is, however, completely adorable.

Luke gets more to do in the finale, "Part VI," as Reva weighs the prospect of using him to get back into Vader's good graces (or to win another chance at assassinating him). But even in that tense subplot, Luke is hidden, runs away, then falls and knocks himself unconscious, which means he's unable to witness or remember what transpires. It's necessary to include young Luke in "Obi-Wan Kenobi," since keeping him safe is Obi-Wan's primary objective, but that's really all he is here: included.
