Time goes by fast, and now we’re less than a month away from the next live-action series from starwars, Obi-Wan Kenobibe released through Disney+which is marked as the great return of Ewan McGregor to a galaxy far, far away for the first time since 2005, and it’s been so long since he revisited the saga starwars.
As we know, mcgregor starred in the prequel trilogy starwars from george lucas What Obi-Wan Kenobithe padawan of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) become master of the apprentice Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), and even though he made a few voiceover cameos The Force Awakens of 2015 and The Rise of Skywalker of 2019, the end of Skywalker Saga, mcgregor would not reprise the role in live action until Star Wars: Obi Wan Kenobithe limited event series that will premiere on may 27th in Disney+.
“I watched them all to prepare for this because the last one I did, we shot Episode III in Sydney, Australia in 2003, I think. So it’s been quite a while, almost 20 years,” McGregor said during a virtual appearance with Jimmy Kimmel on Alive!, admitting that he “didn’t do it all at once”, mcgregor added that it was “really interesting” rewatch his first turn as the younger version of the Jedi hermit from alec guinness in The Phantom Menace from 1999. “It was such a big thing that happened”said the Trainspotting star of the breakout role that would transform her career. “So to go back and see that movie again was a lot of fun.”.
Besides, mcgregor reprized his role as Jedi Knight turned Jedi Master in Attack of the clones from 2002 and Revenge of the Sith from 2005, part of a prequel trilogy not as well received as the classic original trilogy starring Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher Y Harrison Ford.
“It was complicated at the time. They weren’t overwhelmingly accepted by everyone when they came out, our prequels,” he said.. “It was nice to see them now knowing that people love them. That the kids we made them for at the time loved those movies so much. It was nice to see them in that sense.”
Now in Obi-Wan Kenobithe story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sithwhere Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat: the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalkerwho turned to the dark side as the evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.
