Something that we would never have thought of is seeing Obi-Wan Kenobi, or rather to Ewan McGregoreating a plate of stew in the province of La Rioja, Argentina. It even seems like a scene taken from a dream, but it came true in the last episode of the docuseries starring the actor long way up!, where he toured part of the Argentina and ate something very typical of the country: Stew.
The video that went viral after the Argentines realized what was happening came from this docuseries of AppleTV where we saw the actor travel throughout Latin America together with the renowned adventurer Charlie Boorman. As part of this tour, mcgregor ends up in the province of La Rioja and decides to stop in a small town to charge his motorcycle, which is electric, but since there are no service stations with electric charging points, he had to find a person who would let him enter his house to charge his motorcycle.

The video went viral thanks to an account of TikTok where a user reposted it with the description: “You are in your little town lost in the Argentina and it falls on you at nap time Obi Wan Kenobi to remind you that we are good people, let’s never forget that, don’t make us think otherwise. May the Force be with you always.”. In the video, mcgregor explains a bit that “are 320 kilometers to the town of Belén, we will almost reach the end of the trip through Argentina”.
This is presented as the longest trip, but in order to reach Belen They needed to load the bikes. And that’s when the most interesting part of the video comes in, when mcgregor Y Boorman decide to stop at Chilecito to be able to load the motorcycles. In this search for electricity, they stop at what appears to be an electronics house but turns out to be a couple’s house.
The friendly couple not only offered them electricity to charge the motorcycles, but also invited them to eat stew while they waited. “His house is behind. It’s not a store, but they let us connect. They gave us food. It was fun”start to explain mcgregor. Although the most surprising thing is that the couple did not know the actors.
In a scene worthy of a portrait like the one in the Last Supper, mcgregor He begins to comment that they took electricity and food from them, but that the family does not recognize him. Although there comes a time when one of the men sitting at the table says “The island”, finally recognizing the actor from one of his acting roles 2005. But it’s still weird mcgregor who recognized him for such a little-known role and not for Obi-Wan Kenobiand even makes a kind of joke in this regard. “A little suspicious about my identity […] Use your instincts. Use the force”says the actor.
Anyway, if you want to see mcgregor eat a good stew in The Riojayou can do it in his docuseries long way up, available in AppleTV. But if you want to see him as Jedi best known of the Galaxy (although out there not the best known in Chilecito) you can do it in DisneyPlus, where all movies are available starwars as well as the series Obi-Wan Kenobi.
