The Wheel of Time Cast Honors Robert Jordan's BDay with Flashback Clip

While November 19th is an important date for Amazon and showrunner & EP Rafe Judkins' upcoming series adaptation of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, the cast & crew, as well as fans of the novels, know that none of it would be possible if it wasn't for October 17. That's the day that James Oliver Rigney Jr. aka Robert Jordan was born. To mark the occasion, the Amazon series released a video clip from the set in Fall 2019 when Harriet McDougal, book editor & Jordan's widow, addressing the crew in a catering tent. Following that, Madeleine Madden (Egwene), Daniel Henney (Lan), Josha Stradowski (Rand), and Zoë Robins (Nynaeve) offer some kind words in Jordan's honor.

Here's a look at the tribute to Jordan and his world shared earlier today:

The crowd quiets as Moiraine asks for supplies and a room. They then begin to whisper after she is recognized as an Aes Sedai by her great serpent ring:
