BEHIND THE SCENES IMAGE: BEING OBI-WAN, AND LOVING IT!


At LEAVESDEN Studios in 1997, during the filming of EPISODE ONE's intense finale lightsaber duel between Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, a giddily excited and enthusiastic Ewan McGregor, having been stunt kicked onto a safety mat, turns round and happily exclaims to Stunt Co-ordinator Nick Gillard, and all within earshot...

"They said, "Do you wanna be in STAR WARS?" I said, "Too f+++ing right!""

Classic behind the scenes STAR WARS history, and classic Ewan McGregor!


“I wasn’t bored filming EPISODE I. It was hard work but I loved the whole process. I hadn’t done anything as big in my life.”
