Joel Edgerton's career has come a long way since he first showed up as Uncle Owen for a couple scenes in the Star Wars prequels. He went from making indie thrillers (very good ones) with his brother Nash in Australia to being an actual movie star in Hollywood. And he apparently used some of that clout to very slightly expand Uncle Owen's role in last year's Obi-Wan Kenobi series: by getting him a bit of a fight scene with Moses Ingram's Inquisitor Reva.

While the character didn't get a ton of screen time back in the day in the original film when he was played by Phil Brown, it was impossible to forget Uncle Owen--he was one of the first Star Wars characters we ever met, and he and Aunt Beru were the characters who had to die so Luke Skywalker would have a reason not just to leave home but to fight against the Empire.

On the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series, we got to spend more time with Uncle Owen than ever before, during his appearances in the premiere episode and the finale. During both episodes, Owen has to face down Inquisitor Reva--first in Mos Eisley, in public, and then in the finale when Reva is attempting to murder Luke Skywalker at the Lars homestead. And it sounds like Owen put up more of a fight than the show's producers and writers had originally planned.
