Vivien Lyra Blair

Vivien Lyra Blair, born June 4, 2012, is an American actress who portrays a young Leia Organa in Obi-Wan Kenobi. In addition to her role on Star Wars, she is best known for playing Sandra Bullock's adoptive daughter "Girl" in the Netflix horror thriller film Bird Box, Alba in the narrative video game Telling Lies, Guppy in the Netflix superhero film We Can Be Heroes alongside fellow Star Wars actor Pedro Pascal, and starring as Sawyer in the horror film The Boogeyman.

Blair learned how to read with Star Wars books, and she fell in love with the droid R2-D2. The young actress was offered the role of Leia Organa by director Deborah Chow and spent a summer filming for it. In a chemistry test between Blair and Ewan McGregor, the actor who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the series, they recited the lines for one of their conversations on Daiyu. Chow felt that Blair had the essence of Organa and Carrie Fisher, the actress who played the character in the original trilogy. McGregor said that Blair had all of the wit and cheek of Fisher's portrayal of Organa. Blair and McGregor got to know each other better during shooting, which went hand in hand with Organa and Kenobi's relationship in the series.
