Ewan McGregor And Hayden Christensen Jokes About The High Ground During Obi-Wan Kenobi Promotion
The new series Obi-Wan Kenobi will continue forward covering the events of Star Wars: A New Hope. The actors will be reprising their roles from the Revenge Of the Sith. The actors Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor, and Moses Ingram were together to promote the series. In the video, we see McGregor explaining how the Star Wars films were critically bashed, and the excessive use of blue and green screens. He told me that for the preparation, he referred to the prequels. The moment arrived when Christensen said, “you had the high ground.” To this, Ewan laughed and replied, “I had the high ground.”
Ewan: “I like them. Episode 3 was a really good movie.”

The actor, in another interview, revealed the connection between the series and the prequels. He said, “We’re more in line with the prequels than we are with how the fights are in the original trilogy. These characters have aged, but not that much yet.” He was content with the response that the prequel films got. “And to see that expression come across has been really nice,” he further added.
He continued, “We’re adding more connective tissue, and so that has to line up. That was something that I was cognizant of, even when we were doing the prequels, in knowing that there’s someone else that played this character before me and after me, and we have to find something that feels right. I spent a lot of time just watching all the Star Wars stuff I could, from the original films to all of the animated shows — Clone Wars, Rebels, and all of that.”
Obi-Wan Kenobi will be streaming on Disney+ from May 27th, 2022.
