Ewan McGregor Talks Reuniting With Hayden Christensen For ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’
Ewan McGregor’s return for 2022’s Obi-Wan Kenobi not only saw the Star Wars star don his iconic Jedi robe for the first time in almost two decades but also gave him a chance to reunite with his old friend Hayden Christensen.
Christensen, of course, played Anakin Skywalker in both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. At MegaCon last weekend, McGregor spoke about the moment they met again on set.
“When we got on set, I mean, I’ve never seen so many people on a film set in my life,” he said. “Because everybody was there to see him!”
A Historic Moment in Star Wars History
For Obi-Wan Kenobi, McGregor and Christensen even suited up in their old Clone Wars costumes. It was an important moment for Star Wars fans and the stars alike.
According to McGregor, working with Christensen “was an amazing experience, of course. We were in the old costumes and then we were doing that fight. That was just great.”
Reflecting back on their time together, McGregor called their relationship “fraternal.”
“We were very close when we shot the prequels,” said McGregor.
With Christensen fully embracing his role as Anakin Skywalker again and McGregor openly stating he would love to see Obi-Wan Kenobi’s story continue, perhaps we will see the two Star Wars legends again. For now, though, fans will have to make do with what we have gotten.
Still, as someone who grew up with the prequel trilogy, it was amazing to see Anakin and Obi-Wan together again.
