Funny how he sees Alec Guinness as the one and only true obi-wan and the one he still has to match. When I think of the name Obi-Wan, I instantly think of Ewan.
@mercatorjubio3804
@mercatorjubio3804 Год назад
He is a fan of the original Trilogy, it makes sense. Although I am also an OG Star Wars fan, meanwhile I feel Ewan really owns the character. For me he is Obi-Wan as well.

@hyperrunner893 Год назад
That might be because Alec Guinness was mostly playing a kind of far off ghostly role in episodes 5 and 6 wile Ewan was more in the foreground playing a center character much more in the prequels so we kind of got more of him than we got of Alec.

Trainspotting is, and always will be I think, my number one favorite film of all time. It hit me at the right time in my life, and is still so cynically right about so much. On top of this Ewen McGregor has always been in so many films that I have enjoyed consistently for such a long time I can't imagine not ever seeing him in something even when it surprises me (like when he was in Doctor Sleep). He's such a likable actor with an amazing list of great films in his career.

Ewan, I hope you have many, many more roles in the years to come. All the roles you want and many more accolades. Please don't forget about Obi-Wan, though. If you don't play him, who will? No one else could convincingly fill Obi-Wan's shoes. I think that Andrew Stanton would be a strong writer to help you tell more of Obi-Wan's story.
