The process of making Obi-Wan Kenobi was just as magical as it’s been to watch.
In an exclusive featurette, Obi-Wan Kenobi stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen—who reunited on the Disney+ series after appearing together in 2002’s Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and 2005’s Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith—discussed their experience filming the show, while reflecting back on where it all began.
“I remember my first shot in the film,” Hayden said. “My first time working with you. Picking up the light saber for the first time. So many great memories, it’s hard to pick a favorite.”
Ewan—who made his debut as Obi-Wan Kenobi in 1999’s Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace—found the nostalgic experience similarly rewarding.
“I have such fond memories,” he said. “It felt so good to come back to it, didn’t it? It really did.”
Ewan looked back at the bond the two formed prior to filming even began on Episode II, saying “before we started shooting, we did so much fight training and rehearsals.”
