Grant Feely was born in Brunswick, Georgia in October 15, 2011. At seven years old, he watched the show Stranger Things and was interested in the behind-the-scenes material. He wanted to be a part of that world, so he decided to become an actor. Star Wars: The Mandalorian was the only Star Wars content that Feely had seen. In April, 2021, Feely's agent sent him the audition for a role. He then filmed an audition for "Boy - Untitled Disney+ Series," not knowing the role was for the Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi television series, and he did not think anything of it. A week later, he had an hour-long Zoom callback with Carmen Cuba, the casting director for Obi-Wan Kenobi. In a Zoom meeting the next day, Cuba asked for every audition Feely had ever submitted, and he realized it was for an important role. In early June, he had a director's callback with director Deborah Chow. When he was in Hawaii during the end of June, he was asked if he could come to Los Angeles. He was not able to go, so they flew him to LA to do an in-person audition with Chow. In early July, Chow called Feely to offer him the role of Luke Skywalker. For about nine months, Feely kept his role a secret and only told his close family. Feely wanted to do research for his portrayal, but Chow told him to not watch any Star Wars movies so that he could act like a regular boy instead of how Mark Hamill played Skywalker in the original trilogy. Chow explained that Skywalker does not learn about the Force until he's around twenty years old. Feely said that crafting was his favorite part of being on set. He was not told anything about Skywalker or any other characters in the series. Feely made a connection with Joel Edgerton, the actor who played Owen Lars. During filming, Chow instructed Feely how to film a certain shot, and Edgerton translated the instructions into something Feely understood. When the rock scene of Skywalker being chased by the Inquisitor Reva was being filmed, Feely was in a harness running along the top of the set. The crew wanted to see how far he could run on a certain wire, so they instructed the actor to step on a boulder a few feet away. The harness pulled Feely back very fast, which scared the crew and delighted Feely. When Feely and Moses Ingram, the actor who played Reva, were waiting in the cast room, Ingram told him that he could ask the props department if he could see a lightsaber. Feely and his mom walked to the props department and Feely was given a red lightsaber. The lightsaber was changed to blue and Feely was photographed with it in different poses. Feely's favorite part about playing the character was the connections and the experience. Feely watched all of the Star Wars movies after filming the series and became a big fan.

Book One: On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention: Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom alive. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. He died on a Monday. But that Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates. Now, all four of them are suspects in his murder. Are they guilty? Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose? They all have a motive. They all have something to hide. They all have a history with Simon. And one of them is definitely lying. Book 2: A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, no one’s been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts. Until now. This time it’s not an app, though—it’s a game. Truth or Dare. Phoebe‘s the first target. If you choose not to play, it’s a truth. And hers is dark. Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare. But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it’s that they can’t count on the police for help. Or protection. Simon’s gone, but someone’s determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And this time, there’s a whole new set of rules. Book 3: It’s been almost two years since Simon died in detention, and the aftermath has been hard to shake. First the Bayview Four had to prove they weren’t killers. Then a new generation outwitted a vengeful copycat. Now the entire Bayview Crew is back home for the summer, and everyone is trying to move on. Only, this is Bayview, and life is never that simple. At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke: Time for a new game, Bayview. But when a member of the Bayview Crew disappears, it’s clear this “game” is serious—and whoever’s in charge isn’t sharing the rules. Or maybe there aren’t any. Bronwyn. Cooper. Addy. Nate. Maeve. Phoebe. Knox. Luis. Kris. Everyone’s a target. And now that someone unexpected has returned to Bayview, things could start getting deadly. The thing is, Simon was right about secrets—they all come out eventually. And Bayview has a lot it’s still hiding.
