‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’: McGregor and Christensen Describe Coming Back to ‘Star Wars’ in New Behind the Scenes Clip

A new behind-the-scenes clip from Obi-Wan Kenobi has been released online, featuring quotes from main the main trio, Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, and Moses Ingram, as well as the series’ director Deborah Chow. In it, McGregor described his feelings when he first put on the Jedi robes back on again:

 

“The first time I put Obi-Wan’s clothes back after eighteen years…. Coming back to the set made me feel like a kid again.”

 

Chow also explained how this was the perfect moment for Obi-Wan Kenobi to be made, and revealed that to her, it was key to have Hayden Christensen back:

 

“I think for Ewan and for myself, this was the perfect momnet to make the show. It’s sort of the perfect bridge between his younger self in the prequels and then to Alec Guinness in the original trilogy. The series takes place ten yeras after Revenge of the Sith, and something that was very important to me was bringing back Hayden.

We are taking two of the most iconic characters in film history and putting them back together for a rematch. I feel so honored to get to continue with these characters and this legacy that George Lucas created.”

 

Hayden Christensen then added how special it was for him to be back:

 

“This is a character that has come to define my life in so many ways. Coming back to it was very meaningful.”

However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
