When Bonnie Piesse first stepped into the Star Wars universe, she was 16. The franchise was already decades old, and it had reached new heights with the beginning of the prequel trilogy that would tell Darth Vader's origin story. It was 2000, two years before the film that would change her life – "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" – would premiere, and Piesse was just at the start of her career.
Fast-forward 22 years later and the actress/songwriter is set to reprise the role of Beru Whitesun Lars in the Disney+ original series, "Obi-Wan Kenobi." Much has changed in Piesse's life, but one thing remains the same: her love for the franchise that jump-started her career and opened doors to new opportunities and experiences.
