Ewan McGregor Interview -- Star Wars

[SuperMangaBoy]

The 3rd one was the best

[opszanski]

lol he admits only the 3rd was any good.

[danielfranspanga]

Oh george....

[rocketskates23]

'They were all good'- more proof Clarkson doesn't know shit

[kariido1]

All three prequels are trash.

[rpsmith014]

@kariido1 Define trash.

[Mekurion]

Fuck you, George!:D

[JedediahForeverMD]

Lmfao he doesnt even remember Tatooine!

[Powderwombat]

Clarkson likes the PT WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT

[greenpenguino]

This vid confirms what I've always suspected... Jeremy Clarkson is a complete and utter idiot...

[pwnownz6]

episode 1 is the best out of the prequels in my opinion 3 comes behind then 2

[FuckVilleUSA]

@pwnownz6 Episode 1 the best? ROFL

[jehalpain]

i like how he said, "the third one was good. i liked it." and then the other guy said, "no they were all good!" and ewan said, "oh okay." haha XD

[ermonski]

Ewan did jsutice to Obi Wan.

Alec Guinness will be proud!

[TheMasterpiecePD]

The 3rd one was good. Too bad the first 2 didn't give it any chance to recive any kind of praise

[zonkedhombre]

Phew! I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978!

[TenRoseForever]

@SaberSense Well, people seem to like him enough to ignore his accent trouble. And Moulin Rouge was pretty good, I thought. Very, extremely cheesy, but good. And he could have had a memory blank...I do that all the time. I even forgot a girl's name wo I was good friends with once. I'm just forgetful. He might have also been doing it for the laughs. He probably knew and just did it for the audience appreciation.

[thepatient08]

I respect that he is honest about the sub sub par quality of the films and the sterile blue environment he had to work with.

[gaaraanime5]

@SaberSense Ah...yes. I know what you're talking about. Very well, I'll agree to disagree.

And I fully well know that there will always be negative comments on anything that anyone likes; it's just confusing at times as to what logic the other people dislike them.

[StarWarsObsession42]

Ewan McGregor.... <33333333 I LOVE STAR WARS!!

[gaaraanime5]

@SaberSense I don't diss actors due to bad accents. And you don't seem calm at all; you keep using continuous vulgarity. That, to me, is a sign of stress.

In addition, Angels and Demons was great compared to the Star Wars prequels. I admit, it had many flaws, but not as many as the Star Wars prequels, nor as terrible a plot.

Ewan is one of my favorite actors, with or without his accent troubles. He acts very well, and that's what an actor is supposed to do, no?

[gaaraanime5]

@SaberSense A decent movie since Star Wars? Angels and Demons. The Ghost Writer. There's two for ya. And maybe he spaced out? Calm the fuck down dude.

[theevilteacup666]

"Look at the moons!"

[jayce79]

Hahaa , I love Ewan. He was great in the movies. Loved that paticular moment in III.

[matzoball101]

Its great how Ewan can admit that he did poorly in a movie

[BANZITOMMY]

That's funny, funny guy. I do think he at large made the films watchable despite the bad dialogue. I am sure Hayden and Natalie could have done better with a better script as some of the stuff they said was out right dumb no matter what your opinion is. He was right on about the 3rd being the best of the prequels to bad the silly host had to defend Lucas haha.

[Brrdan]

i love his george lucas voice xD

[jediwise]

I think what we're basically saying here, is all the UK-ish actors were great, lol.

As an American, I can't say as I disagree. Been a fan of Liam's for years, and Ewan truly captured the look and spirit of Sir Alec's iconic Obi-Wan. I could actually see him growing into the older version with very little imagination needed.

[Serpico69]

Just be honest Ewan: you hate the bloody Star Wars movies. They're horrible from start to finish, you know it, we all know it, just be honest for once.

[corvino21]

thats your opinion and who gives a shit what you think.

[veXchu]

@corvino21 Same to you, buddeh.

[Henry14arsenal2007]

@Serpico69 And Christopher Lee as well

[spacenoise5]

if it wasnt for ewan, the movies would have sucked, but george lucas should never write a movie by himself.

[collin292]

@spacenoise5 He ALMOST saved them from sucking

[dharmaseed]

@DanaMarie95 Ian McDairmid and Liam Neeson were good too, and Anthony Daniels. Too bad they either had small parts or were killed off.

[shockraid1]

LOOK AT THE MOONS

[meluvstarwars]

I loved all 6 episodes! and ewan! lol

[amora101]

what episode is this??

[rosesRbleu]

this is SW1

:)

[Revaris]

ewan's my role model,man. Funny, adventurous, talented,inspiring and good hearted, top man

[twilightxmidna]

why is he not on the list to vote for the greatest scot?!!! i will sue!!! XD

[BellaMcGregor]

I LOVE HIM! <3<3

Look at the moons, look at the moons!!

[missmoomaddy]

He is so good-looking!!!!!! :-) I love him! And I don't mean Jeremy Clarkson thank god! :-)

[procrastinator99]

LOOK AT THE MOONS!!!!

[Kathleenr113]

I LOVE HIM!

[pendragoney]

he's adorable. anyone know when is this interview from?

[a2ilool]

Top Gear, its a car show, they get celebrities to do a lap round their track, thats what ewan was doing here

[Ripplin]

To answer the question you actually asked, it aired May 26, 2008.

[carny15]

ewan mcgregor.one of my favorite actors.he is briliiant in star wars.(sorry for my bad language)

[carny15]

thats right:)))

[Deathlygunn]

Liam Neeson And Ian Mcdirmid Were Also Good

[dharmaseed]

@DeathlyGunn, very true. Shame that Liam didn't last through the first movie.

[PokemonPinecone]

@Deathlygunn Yes, they were definitely some of the best actors in PT, along with McGregor. Too bad the rest weren't as good. Christensen and Portman SUCKED!

[Tony2826]

@dharmaseed He and McDiarmid were the only two who consistantly even TRIED to do a good job.

[LadyVader66]

he is so cute. lol, love him.

[19leeann]

this interview is so funny

[User323232]

Did everyone miss what he said? He liked the third film Revenge of the Sith. And it's true. That was the one that was closest to being on par with the original trilogy.

[Freddran]

@User323232 hmm... It was dumbest character twist I have ever seen

[jagscalabrine]

@User323232 but still largely average

[Menegoth]

@User323232 For the love of god please be sarcastic.

[UncleErnie71]

@User323232 Nope. Not even close. I understand your need to convince yourself that the prequels weren't a complete waste, but sadly that is not the case.

[PetraKenobi]

I agree with Ewan's opinion of the first three star wars *1-3*...episodes 1 and 2 were crud and should have been re-written by somebody else. But the only good scenes, and the only smart move made by George Lucas, were those with Ewan in them.

[chiamaligna]

he surely has his reasons to say those things about star wars, but he mentioned he had a lot of fan too ;)...and after all, all he has to do is gain money doing films, even if he doesn't like them

[Gina97xls]

the scripts could have been better on the first two but I think the storylines were necessary to lead to Episodes IV, V, VI

Ewan was fantastic in all 3 of them as was Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen. but them I'm biased since I LOVE everything Ewan does ;-)

[SirBunnyII]

Hayden RUINED star wars. In fact, any movie he touches turns to instant garbage (George Lucas has trained him well).

[lineridermatt12]

that is so not true

[RolePlayingGamer]

I agree

[shadedbrooke]

@Gina97xls Ewan was good, i agree, but Christensen was horrible. I find it difficult to watch him.

[Gina97xls]

@shadedbrooke True... I was just being polite to Christensen.... LOL but I still LOVE everything Ewan does ;)

[erikmartin2]

@Gina97xls Ewan's character didn't even have an arc over those three movies, which is probably one of their their biggest failings. He did the best he could with awful material. If Ewan couldn't do anything with it, no one could.

[jagscalabrine]

@Gina97xls agree but hayden christensen was total shit ur completely wrong

[ThugLifeJ]

@Gina97xls take out hayden christensen and i would like this post..

[thecrosby627]

@Gina97xls You should leave out Hayden, he was shit.

[Gina97xls]

@thecrosby627 in case you haven't noticed, i posted this 3 years ago... since then I decided I don't like Hayden Christensen's acting abilities... however, Ewan is still my Rock Star! :)

[Blaze187Killa]

@Gina97x what u talkin' about they was all better than the old ones i mean the old ones were pretty borin' luke was shit! hahaha we only used to watch it cuz of vader and harrison ford as hansolo yoda and obiwan without them the old ones would have crashed and burned the new ones had better actors i mean it had sauel jackson! and ewan and liam neeson in it far better actors than they had in the old ones and put more into it better than lukes horrid noo scene

[haudieda]

he is sooo cute...

[OWK1]

sei troppo forte Ewan ... sei il mio mito

[pinkligers14]

dont you think the word "crap" is a lil too harsh of a word...? just because the diologue sucked in the new trilogy doesnt mean its "crap" the visual effects were freakin awsum better than the original and i thought the story line was interesting.

[socarulz]

visual affects don't make a good movie. In fact it makes the opposite.

[aphonenumber1]

can someone post the rest of this interview?

[LadyArgento]

The third one was really the only decent one. The first two sucked hard.

[socarulz]

Phantom Menace was great, Clone Wars was awful though.

[niblet0]

I agree PriceisRight!  Usually you get the standardised answer from Ewan - "Well, they were technically very difficult but I liked playing in them." In this he's being honest and I agree with him 100% here.

[Groovy26407]

well He admits it!i think that he wanted like hell to play in them though,cause his uncle participated in the old ones!

[ewanfan111]

Star wars SUCKS.

[PriceisRight93]

At least he admits that those Star Wars movies were crap. I'm proud of him for that one.
