Rupert Friend talked about filming the Obi Wei Kenobe Show! Rupert tried to make it as real for himself as possible by reading up on all he could find. He found a book called The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, which was written by George Lucas, who wrote Star Wars. He would have been reading this whilst doing his lines, so he felt like he had some kind of inside knowledge before even starting shooting! Rupert also did lots of research into Japanese culture.
