Alec Genius taught him well, he sounds a lot like him. I didn't think he sounded like him in real life, good casting. even if the dialogue sucked in the prequals.
@sgauden02 It would be extremely hard to be a better Obi Wan than Alec, but as you said, Ewan was a great Obi Wan and I think Alec would of been proud of his performance, unfortunatly the prequels didn't live up to the original films, but it's a high bar that had been set. How many top 100 movie lists have we seen where a SW movie is No.1? As many ppl have I have all 6 films, and watch them all from time to time. Love all of them. The prequels are not bad, just not as good.
@PowaShammy Yeah. As I said Ewan didn't beat Alec, but he did incredible. And yeah, of course the prequels were as popular, but I didn't hate them either. There are some who think they should redo the prequels, but in my opinon, the only prequel that I'd redo is "The Phamtom Menace". It wasn't terrible, but it was probably the worst of the prequels. Darth Maul should've had a larger role, and should've been the main villian and not Nute Gunray. But Ewan did GREAT as Obi-Wan.
I did NOT know that his uncle played the part of the most notable side character (as Wedge survives all three films and even plays a large role in destroying the second Death Star).
@Gamebox27 Keep in mind makeup in the 70's wasn't that great, plus star wars had a limited budget. Alec Guiness, who already looked older than he was at the time, 62, had to play a 57 year old. They tried to make Ewan look older in the 3rd movie, but Obi Wan is only supposed to be in his late 30's at that point. I'm sure in hindsight, Lucas would have put more effort into making Guiness look a bit younger
Honestly the prequels are "different films" The originals were the classic, adventure movies based on old cereals with classic hero figures. The prequels were focused more on the political aspect.I think its a good thing, I wanna know what the republic was like before it fell. Ewan also did 100 percent great. He is like Alec if he was younger and he nailed the voice and mannerisms correctly
Ewan McGregor is amazing yes, but the prequels would have been so much better if someone would have stood up to George Lucas and told him that he was screwing the story up from time to time.
@ThatSwimGuy Eeyup. Whenever I bash the prequels, I make sure to insert certain exceptions. Ewan and Ian McDiarmid totally rocked their roles, Darth Maul was frankly cool, and the worlds created in those films were beautiful and amazing. Unfortunately, so much time was spent on them that the writing and directing kind of went to hell, leaving it with much to love but so much bad substance.
Me too, he should have ended him right then and there. I thought that was the whole point of going to Mustafar in the first place. Would have saved a lot of lives, that's for sure.
I hope you all know that star wars was hay dens real big break and obviously he wouldn't be as good as the other actors who had about 15 or 20 years of acting experience Hayden still did a good job with what he was given and he captured the teenage feelings and anger perfectly
@marioandsonic2008 Yeah, let's just say that whoever thought Jedi needed mullets should have facepalmed. And if they didn't do one, I'd do it for them.
the prequels have a ton of haters, ESB is still my fave movie of them all BUT RotS is a really great moive, it has his moments, yeah anakin was turned to a sith too quickly but lucas had no space for being creative, i love it
Ok, he was the best or maybe the only good actor in the prequels (or at least the only actor who had an opportunity to give life to his character). The only one that really seems to be a Jedi, in his facial expressions etc.
@CanalTal But he still doesn´t reach even Alec´s feet. We should show more respect for Alec Guiness, he was the one who truly gave life to Obi Wan in the first place. But ok congratulations because Ewan not only did well but he also performed well facing mostly blue and green screens and not the real scenario and people, which is really a challenge.
I thought that McDiarmid, Neeson, Lee, Jackson, and Smitts were also very good in their roles. Really my only problems with the acting are the two actors of Anakin and Ahmed Best as Jar Jar.
Ewan McGregor certainly turned Obi Wan into the ultimate ''Jedi sex symbol'' ;) I hope some day soon, they will film a movie about Obi Wan's life and of course Ewan McGregor will be starring!!!!!
The guy had no emotion, and no arc! He would be creepily stoic for all the dialogue scenes, and then once there was any action at all he would start yelling. It made no sense whatsoever in terms of human emotion. Ewan did a good job with the stuff he was given, but the writing was a steaming pile of horseshit.
I really disagree with that. The only one I thought he was weak in was PHANTOM MENACE. No emotion. He has several great scenes with Anakin where we can see his caring and friendship with him (elevator scene in ATTACK, Their exchange when returning from the Invisible Hand and as he prepares to leave for Utapau in REVENGE) And he was fantastic during the "You were my brother" speech. He also displayed a sense of humor throughout. And what was Obi-Wan's arc in the OT, dying?
In the elevator, we never actually see them acting as friends. We're just told about adventures we never saw and know nothing about. The whole bit about "this weapon is your life" pissed me off beyond reason because it totally fucked over everything Yoda ever said. The "you were my brother" thing is powerful if you believe it, which I didn't.
Obi-Wan ain't supposed to be funny, he's supposed to be wise. And yes, his arc was dying in the OT, namely the acceptance of death.
Mind you I do love Alec Guinness in the role and I would say Obi-Wan did have something of an arc in the PT. we see him go from student, to a struggling and overly critical mentor, to the more relaxed Obi-Wan we see in REVENGE and the OT.
His personality shouldn't change from uptight to relaxed, either. He's very calm and wise in new hope, but not relaxed. If he had gone from aggressive and headstrong (ie Anakin in Clones) to calm and wise it would have worked. Since he's so stoic in Phantom, and doesn't want to train Anakin at all, complains and insults him through all of Clones, and never trusts him, it makes no sense that he'd suddenly love him in Revenge, and remember him fondly in New Hope.
By relaxed I basically meant calm and probably mixed up definitions.Whatever the case by EpIII he seemed more like classic Obi-Wan. But I've gotta ask.Have you seen any teenager that hasn't had a lot angst with their parents and their teachers?I will say I do think the major issue with the PT is that it spread itself thin with 13 years compared to the OT, so we saw a lot more of the tense stuff in AOTT, but the first half of EpIII did a good job showing their friendship.
And let's be honest. Nothing I say's gonna convince you of anything. Nothing you say is going to make me hate him or the films. So we probably should just drop this now before we waste too much of our time.
@00maharum00ma just because he yells at him doesnt mean he never loved him xD. your so stupid he wouldnt teach him for over 10 years if he didnt even like him. wow common sense.
They are CHARACTERS in a MOVIE. I didn't get to see those 10 years! I get to see a short period in their lives. It's the filmmakers job to make me FEEL their relationship. If I can't believe they care about each other, then it isn't my fault for being stupid, it's Lucas' fault for writing shitty characters.
@00maharum00ma its not lucas fault its the writers, i dont blame the actors they tried there best, i think they really should have stepped up the quality instead of releying on favorties like han solo in the older ones.
Lucas wrote the prequels almost entirely by himself. Jonathan Hales helped with Clones, but Lucas was by far the head writer. I don't blame the actors either, I blame him.
@SLPIFan I personally find the prequels interesting mainly for the backstory because honestly I don't believe they were as well done. However, I have always told my friends that Obi-Wan (Ewan) is amazing and the best part of the prequels.
The PT undeniably has its weaknesses, but I feel people generalize the acting in them to being bad when really I don't think too many of them were. The problem was that the person who was essentially their lead (Hayden Christensen) himself was very weak. Along with Jake Lloyd, Ahmed "Jar Jar" Best, and Natlie Portman at times. For instance I thought both McGregor (he was a bit weak in Ep I, but great in II & III) and Ian McDiarmid were fantastic in their roles.
@SLPIFan McGregor and Mcdiarmid were perfect for the roles, but i think that Portman exceptionally good in the movies considering her age and thinking what she has achieved today... but love ewan:) always disliked anakin...not hated but disliked the character... and jar jar was just a replacement of 3PO as a comic relief?...
@SLPIFan I gave a thumbs-up, but I do not quite agree with you. I hate the prequels because of their terrible writing and a focus on CGI over acting, but Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan was fantastic. It's because of his performance that Obi-Wan has become my favorite Jedi of all time (Yoda a close second), and the very symbol of what they're supposed to be. What's more, he was very convincing as a younger version of the character as portrayed by Alec Guiness.
@TheZacula I completely agree with you. I think that the way they portrayed Obi-Wan in the first 3 films, really fleshed out his character well. It's a weird thing that Obi-Wan is essentially the perfect Jedi. Since Jedi's always talk about balance in the force. The truth was most Jedi's didn't have balance. Yoda was leaning far on the light side. Mace was spiking with his attitude, same as Luke. Anekin was dragging to the dark side.Only Obi-Wan was really Jedi and Human at the same time.
@SLPIFan Truth. Watching Phantom Menace, I thought he was Obi Wan. I didn't know he was so dedicated to emanating Alec Guinness's character. I'm so happy they spent so much time on that, because Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan were the best part of the three movies.
Ewan Mcgregor is probably indirect reason why I started watching star wars.Few years ago I watched Long way round -a documentary in which Ewan and his best friend Charley travel around the world on bikes.I thought it was the best documentary of that type ever so I became interested in McGregor's other roles.Trainspotting was the first thing I watched.Recently I re watched LWR and later LWD.Throughout both there were references to SW.I did watch old SW when I was a kid but now it was new xp
ewan mcgregor was a much better actor than hayden christiansen, but its probably due to the fact that he was older and more experienced. i think its going a bit far to say that christiansen failed completely as anakin skywalker.it could have been better but he was better than some other actors u can name
Ewan is absolutely wonderful. He came to my school to speak with the film and theatre students. He is everything they say and more. He is one of the few redeemable things of the prequels.
Am I the only one who thinks this? Ewan McGregor looks a little bit like Eddie Izzard? I don't know why, but whenever I see Ewan McGregor in an interview, I just link him to Eddie Izzard. Oh and btw if you don't know who Eddie Izzard is, he is a trasvestite comedian.
where is this from? I know I have seen this before, i am thinking it might be on one of the dvds but i am not quite sure. can you please tell me where you found this. if not then that is fine. this is cool!!!!!!! ewan mcgregor is obi-wan ;)
Obi Wan is by far the best looking Jedi ever. (Okay maybe besides Qui Gon) And the way Ewan seems to morph into Obi Wan is amazing. It's like if you meet Ewan on the streets you'd call him Obi Wan instead of his real name!!! It's like Pierce Brosnan and James Bond. And that beard really makes Ewan look so mature and handsome!!
Can anyone tell me what part in Star Wars 3 where Obi Wan is talking to Padme?? I cant seem to find it. I am not talking about the bit where Obi tells Padme that Ani is in grave danger and he must go and stop him. If you look at 6.41 to 6.43 in this you can see that Padme is talking to Obi Wan but can any one tell me which part of the movie that is? Padme is wearing that green dress not the blue one...help? please comment
ewan did an amazing job as obi-wan he is so charismatic and so cute!!!! i coulnd't think of anyone else playing him and to the person who said they hated luke... he wasnt a terrible character just a little bit to whiney lol
Good to hear Ewan was so dedicated to making the character feel more like Alec Guinness, Alec Guiness originally made Obi-Wan feel like the wise warm character he is.
Obi-Wan in my opinion was the best part of the prequels because it was cool seeing him in his prime.

Obi Wan: "You will be a Jedi, I promise."
Anakin: *Shakes head in agreement*
Obi Wan: "But not a Jedi Master, because you'll fuck it up by breaking the code and falling in love."

Ewan and Ian McDiarmid gave great and the most underrated performances of the franchise.

Best scottish actor since Sean Connery. Easily the best part of the prequels.

ewan mcgregor was a much better actor than hayden christiansen, but its probably due to the fact that he was older and more experienced. i think its going a bit far to say that christiansen failed completely as anakin skywalker.it could have been better but he was better than some other actors u can name

ewan did such a grand job portraying obi-wan. they're right, he did it so well you could believe he was the same character from the original trilogy.
if only we could say the same for hayden christenson.

Ewan is absolutely wonderful. He came to my school to speak with the film and theatre students. He is everything they say and more. He is one of the few redeemable things of the prequels.

Am I the only one who thinks this? Ewan McGregor looks a little bit like Eddie Izzard? I don't know why, but whenever I see Ewan McGregor in an interview, I just link him to Eddie Izzard. Oh and btw if you don't know who Eddie Izzard is, he is a trasvestite comedian.

McGregor definitely made the prequels worthwhile, otherwise it would be a complete loss. The green screens make me sad.

Obi Wan is by far the best looking Jedi ever. (Okay maybe besides Qui Gon) And the way Ewan seems to morph into Obi Wan is amazing. It's like if you meet Ewan on the streets you'd call him Obi Wan instead of his real name!!! It's like Pierce Brosnan and James Bond. And that beard really makes Ewan look so mature and handsome!!

Can anyone tell me what part in Star Wars 3 where Obi Wan is talking to Padme?? I cant seem to find it. I am not talking about the bit where Obi tells Padme that Ani is in grave danger and he must go and stop him. If you look at 6.41 to 6.43 in this you can see that Padme is talking to Obi Wan but can any one tell me which part of the movie that is? Padme is wearing that green dress not the blue one...help? please comment
PinkCatz101 2 years ago
I think that is the part where Obi-Wan is telling Padme about Anakin.
They are just smiling because it's not Obi-Wan talking, it's Ewan, and him and Natalie are just talking to each other between takes..
I think.

Good to hear Ewan was so dedicated to making the character feel more like Alec Guinness, Alec Guiness originally made Obi-Wan feel like the wise warm character he is.
