I couldn't picture anyone else playing Obi Wan.
I reckon Alec Guinness could’ve been good
@@polypus1864 possibly although isn't he too old?
@@mrdemon6120 he died in 2000
What about the voice actors?
@@sheevone4359 yes I know. It was a joke.
“Is he wearing a big Jedi mullet? Top man”
fuckin quality 😂
66 likes. Looks like we'll have to keep that there unfortunately
Liz II could knight him
but he's already a master
Ewan McGregor is one of the greatest decisions George Lucas ever made for the Star Wars franchise, and we don’t deserve him. I can’t wait for Kenobi on Disney+.
Yes agreed
And what do you know, he was one of the only redeeming factors of that show
This did not age well
What'd you think of it?
@@devilsorchard1449 I loved it.
They gave so much respect and consideration to the original trilogy and actors throughout the making of the prequels. Something the sequel trilogy failed considerably.
Something that I hope all fans are regretting to this day. Bashing the prequels that is.
@@koskingofshields3213 maybe learn from the mistakes of the past and stop bashing the sequels? Too much undeserved hate
@@user-tl2dt3os4k why stop hating just to be nice? They deserve it and I dont give a shit if anyone calls me a hater
@@spicysnowman8886 same thing that's been happening since the prequels. There is so much hate coming from the star wars community that it's absolutely ridiculous. It's uncalled for, outrageous and unfair if you will. People are saying that disney has ruined everything with every little thing that happened in the sequels. Solely focusing on negatives rather than positives, hating on actors and adult individuals acting like children. The movies didn't reach expectations for many because it would have been impossible in a divided community as this one. What they did do was explore new grounds with new force powers, character arcs and themes and connecting them tp the prequels and originals. I suppose disney brought balance to the community, with 50% hating and 50% praising. Ironic.
@@user-tl2dt3os4k I dont feel like writing an essay because I've had this arguement wayyyyyy too many times but I dont hate the sequels just to hate I genuinely feel that way. Sidenote: I dont have a problem with the other disney star wars content just the movies and I love the prequels.
I love the way that theory smiles when Christopher Lee comes on (6:28), I did too when I first saw the epesode 3 behind the scenes, he's such a loveable person. May you rest in peace Christopher
The man had such a presence of distinction and nobility; when he spoke he commanded such respect and admiration. I remember watching the bonus extras of The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit where Peter Jackson said of him that whenever he was on set taking a break, everyone stopped filming to listen to his stories and what he had to say whilst he drank his tea. In every interview you saw him give, it feels like an address by a King. Extremely well read, articulate and deeply passionate of every role he took, he emanated pure class and genius. He was one of the most gifted, and shall ever remain one of my absolute favourite actors of all time! R.I.P Sir Christopher, and thank you for your brilliance!
@@quodterminosjustifyquodmed6616 your so right he was. A great person with a bright and beautiful personality
And most importantly, lollypops
@@quodterminosjustifyquodmed6616 WOW! can you send a link to that bonus extras? Love Mr.Lee!
They should end the Kenobi show with him saying “Hello There” to R2
Omg I think we would all kinda cry like seeing Luke in the Mandalorian
@@isaacholland6587 what does that have to do with kenobi
@@Mimo-xp1cn it would touch all of true Star Wars fans hearts is all

McGregor is fine actor, big time professional.
Yup, he's my favourite actor!
But he cannot surpass Alec Guinness.
Top man!

Hello there...Mr. Lucas
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series takes place eight years after Revenge of the Sith.
Is it confirmed that it’s gonna happen
thought it was going to be like 9 months atleast
but eight years?
@@i_Made_That yes confirmed.
Same time frame as mandalorian
"You see an incredible bond and a real friendship there. . . so that there is something important that is lost" - Ewan McGregor. He got that right. ROTS is so emotional
Damn right! I was torn up for days after I watched it for the first time, even though I already knew how it was going to end (of course, having seen the OT).
Am I the only one who’d love to see what Ewan would look like when he’s as old as Alec was when he played Obi-Wan?
Well the kenobi series might come close
Yeah same.
@@quinten2529 it depends when the series is set because ewans hair isnt even close to going full white
Give it 20 years when Disney remakes OT.
Deepfake?
Ewan did it right. One thing I would never criticize about the prequels.
Agreed
Facts
I thought that George was going to direct Obi Wan's series.. rip.. I'm no crying.. 😭😭
George isn't going to direct those series?!
Aw come on
Yeah but at least jj and rian aren’t. The same person who directed a couple mandolorian episodes isn’t going to direct the obi wan series
Deborah chow from the mandalorian is going to direct it
@@sheevone4359 I trust her but I hope they have the full team from the Mandalorian because I know they worked together alot
Haha George Lucas and Ewan Mcgregor together what a good pair
Yeah they look really good together.... 🤤

Literally just commented about this too. It made me enraged ahahahaha
Thank U finally someone understands that BRITAN is England Scotland and Wales’s and Great BRITAN or the United Kingdom are England Scotland Northern Ireland and Wales
@@loyisbinnell2399 Britain* 🤣
@@loyisbinnell2399 No Great Britain and Britain is the same thing, It's the name of the island.. 'UK' just adds Northern Ireland then
I think liam neeson would come back to voice over. He did in the clone wars, why not the kenobi series
He got cancelled.
@@andrewjames7438 I think he could still return.
I like this Chanel so much value !!! Thanks a lot ... I also try to create content just like this , please check out and support me :) show some love for begginers. ( motivation founded )
@@andrewjames7438 what do you mean?
@@alexvolpe04 he got "cancelled" over some controversy, some people overreacted a bit
Ewan is the perfect example of what acting should be. The dude is a legend. Absolute dedication and passion.
Wait why’s Ewan infamous, playing Obi wan was no crime it was a blessing.
Obi wan wouldn’t have been if it wasn’t for him. He brought life to the character
Man I Believe Ewan was Born to be Obi like Hayden was for Anakin💯 Ewan bridging the gap between Obi Wan an Old Ben Kenobi timeline is Amazing looking forward to it Again👍
Hayden was NOT made to be anakin. Trash 💯
@@Big_AlMC stfu yes he is
Alex Hayden was made to be Anakin. Trash 100%
Hayden wasn’t trash 100% as Anakin, Hayden was amazing 100% as Anakin.
Ewan McGregor is absolutely amazing as a younger Obi-Wan. I really appreciate how both he and Hayden tried to match up with the Vader and Kenobi in the original trilogy with their accents.
I'm excited for the Obi-Wan mini series, because it sort of feels like the continuation of the prequels. Unfortunately, I was not born in time to watch them in theatures, but I am old enough that I saw them when they were new movies, so I really love them.
4:39 HE SAID IT! HE SAID THE THING!!!
i loved the prequels. they were just ahead of time. i was in 8th grade went to denver w my dad to the first celebration. will never forget Anthony Daniels putting a mic to my mouth and myself asking Ray Park on stage how long it took to sweat the paint to which he then answered making the crowd bust out laughing. Won't ever forget when they played the trailer for the first time and then everyone cheered for one more time. I was a huge Shallow Grave/ A Life Less Ordinary fan so I was stoked for Ewan. Wish I could rewind time.
Imagine How Good The sequels Would be if Lucas Did Not Retire.
I wonder if Ewan will watch The Clone Wars series for some reference just to add even more to his performance.
I bet he will
I hope so, the Clone Wars adds a *LOT* to the dynamic of Anakin, Obi-wan, the council and the clones.
I hope so but I don't think he would unless someone showed it to him
I like how while everyone considers Obi-Wan as a father figure to the problem- only George considers him the older brother (who took the mentor role when the father died) - more similar to how I think Anakin viewed Obi Wan when Qui Gon died
Yeah, Filoni talked about this, that Anakin wanted a father and Obi-Wan was willing to be a brother. Consider how during Clones Anakin talks about Obi-Wan being like his father, but during the trilogy we only hear Obi saying Anakin is his brother.
It’s not like the shirt SAYS Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or anything

Give the man his nothing SWT
FYI, Scotland is in Britain - there's no such thing as a singular British accent. He has a Scottish accent and was affecting an English accent.
I think he knows that, just accidentally said Britain instead of England.
You guys have too many names for yourself. Great Britain, United Kingdom, British Isles, Britannia, Anglia.
Khal Nobody ever uses the last two, and also u guys are called USA, America, United States...
@@gabrielmartinelli7698 Those are all shortening of the same name. United States of America.
Shadow God and all of urs are variations of U.K. and Britain. Yeah, we have 2 names while u have 1, but that’s hardly a big difference.
Anyone else start crying when Christopher Lee was talking about Ewain? WOW! Hearing that from a legend.
I have so much respect for Ewan and Alec they both made obi-wan kenobi my favorite characters
Ewan McGregor is so awesome as being Obi Wan just Alec Guinness.
Agreed

It says it right on the shirt! 😏
@@tj112286 that's why there was no prize lol
@@hiimollielol1663 I didn't hear that part until afterwards. Lol. ☺️
Theory: See if you can guess what movie this shirt is from if you do...you win nothing HAHAHAHAHA
Congratulations YOU WIN NOTHING
George Lucas Star Wars which includes the OT and PT trilogies are the only movies in the franchise that matter to me. Ewan McGregor was a perfect casting choice as Obi Wan.
It's rare that a character of this magnitude gets cast so well. Spot on in fact.
The dedication to the character is unreal. Haven't seen that level of care in a star wars movie since then.
When your shirt says Ferris Buellers Day Off on it, it does make the guesswork a little easier lol
Love these videos. A solid obi wan series would revivify star wars for me. The sequel trilogy really killed my interest/hopes. Mando has been good but we need more like it.
Like all the finest British actors Ewan is extremely versatile , what a great actor
*someone from england (scotland, wales + northern island are part of britain)
Love these so much, thank you. Always love seeing how much you appreciate the prequels, the actors and of course George Lucas himself. May the force be with you, always.
The t shirt is from Ferris Bueller's day off. Love that movie!
6:14 The deleted Obi-Wan/Padme scene--the visit Padme later mentions when Anakin senses Obi-Wan was in the apartment. The choice to delete this moment but still refer to it is interesting. It puts the viewer in Anakin's POV, having to wonder exactly what has happened between Padme and Obi-Wan at a time when Anakin already senses (correctly) that multiple parties are plotting behind his back and lines of good and evil are getting confusing.
He is the perfect Obi Wan
Idk why, but Ewan and Hayden throwing their sabers in the air at the same time at 5:43 made me soft🥺
They're so cute together 💗
Good retconning can happen I mean look at near the end of Season 7 of Clone Wars. They made some changes of events from the Ahsoka Novel in a good way. Im hopefuly to hear Liam Neeson’s voice.
Love that your doing these
Hey just wanna say how much u got me through my worst time,you made my chemotherapy treatments a little easier to take by watching yr vids so thank you didn’t mean to bring up something sad but I’ve been wanting to say this to ya hope yr having a good day and staying safe
The shirt is from Ferris Bueller's Day Off!
7:12 - It's probably been said a thousand times, but I have the itch to say it. Scotland is in Britain.
You defo need to see the star wars bloopers. (Especially the prequel bloopers)
Ewan transmits such a joy in everything he speaks. It’s great.
His overwhelming enthusiasm is a huge part of what makes him, and his work, so infectiously charming.
I have the high ground now
I'd love if they made the obi wan series R rated
I think (or I hope) the Kenobi series is more of a character study than an action series. All making it R-rated would do is close it off to younger fans of Obi-wan. That said, I certainly don't want it to be light-hearted, I want to have darker moments like hallucinations of Anakin or Clone Wars flashbacks or whatever, but Star Wars was always meant to appeal to kids as much as adults
@@conorb7094 yeh I guess your right, but I agree that to see obi wan angrier but also not as wise, just to see him lash out at people and even forget what it means to be a jedi until qui gon force ghost appears and tells him to change
That’s impossible because it’s a Disney+ series. it can’t be Rated R while on Disney+
@@Kryptica that's why I hate Disney, they're buying everything and making it for children, ik star wars hasnt ever been R rated but it would be cool to see
ollie wannell How would R rated Star Wars be better? Star Wars and R rating probably won’t mix well. What do you want it to have that gets a R rating? Blood? Profanity? Sorry if I sounded rude.
Man I have missed these behind the scenes videos, hope we get them faster from now
4:43 That's adorable! I love these prequel bonus videos! The prequels are so magical and special
Scotland 🏴 is in Britain 🇬🇧, I think u meant to say England 🏴

Lol
I am so excited to see Ewan play out this next part of Obi-wan’s life. I know it’s going to be amazing.
This was a great break down. I love the footage. I am more fascinated by the Star Wars story more now than ever. I've been a huge fan already. It was one of my first movies, if not the first in the theater. The story behind everything, effort made to capture the characters, it's amazing. I don't want to leave it on a negative note, but I think that the elements of the prequels that are annoying an often horrendous, took away from something that could have been completely brilliant. I feel lucky to see it continued on and done right. They must know that the fans will not be able to handle this in just 6 episodes. The guys are still young, there's many more stories that can be told and I've never seen two actors so eager to reprise their roles to further the story on. So many stars have to be practically begged and be paid a King's ransom to reprise their roles. These two want it.
the T-shirt is from store u fools
Wait a minute, how did this happen? We're smarter than this!
I don't know why people thing ewan is obi wan... Obi wan is ewan
*Obi-Wan
Ewan McGregor is the true GOAT, I couldnt have picked anyone better to be Obi Wan
I NEED TO FIND THE WHOLE BLOOPER/BEHIND THE SCENES REEL PLEASE
especially the oh mace one lmao
NNNNNNOOOOOOO
if this video gets more views than hayden christensens video is it because of obi wan
Super stoked!! I can’t wait to see Ewan as Kenobi again!!!
Dude right on, also i think “Rasha Reacts” on youtube mentioned your Laughing Ghost Studios channel on their David Goggins episode... this cant be a coincidence
Andre Oh cool I’ll check it out!
i just realized i LOVE your hat!
What if I took Luke to Dagobah when he was a baby and Obi Wan raised Leia as his own daughter?
Give up, I will not.
Until a video, this becomes.
Losing hope, I am.
This needs to be a video.
Hello there
General kenobi!
Thijs You are a bold one
Keel him
Wonderful. Love you StarWars!
Respect for this guy just occasional observation like hes not like other people who react to videos when they pause it every 12 seconds
Lmao. Why do North Americans use the word England and Britain interchangeably. He said that Ewan had a Scottish accent which is obviously different to a British accent. Um, Scotland IS IN Britain. 😂
he's Canadian
@@liamshanley_21 Ok? That's nice.
Shame Disney destroyed star wars and ewan mcgregor is a feminist. I have standards
I’m surprised how much content can come from Star Wars at this point in time
He comes back as he said ''shadowy blue guy'' LMAO
I love these videos!
Just gets me more excited for the tv show.
I really like your videos keep it going man
I am so excited for the kenobi series and I absolutely love Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Being a Scotsman I'm proud of Ewan McGregor in his roll as Obi wan... and living in Petersfield Hampshire which is the resting place of Sir Alex Guinness the roll of Obi wan Kenobi has been played to legends of the silver screen... long live Obi-wan....
watching this is a lil late BUT Ferris Bueller's Day Off is my second favorite film of all time haha. Love the shirt bro!
I just wanted to point out something awesome. So you talk about the kenobi show, how we'll probably see a obi-wan that's wrestling with and coming to terms with everything that happened... Well... What if... We see him watching over luke throughout the show, and maybe something happens, he witnesses some evidence of luke being force sensitive. Maybe reaches for an out of reach hydrospanner without looking, and it slides those few inches across the table into his hand. Luke completely unaware of it happening. Then we see a shift in obi-wan's morale, having just seen for himself "a new hope" for the force.
Oooh, freaking goosebumps man!
I feel so motivated.
Christopher Lee has the voice of an angel. Him and James Earl Jones are the voices of star wars
Leonard Cohen though
Love the shirt.... Farris Bueller Day Off classic!!!!
When you said Scotland was different from Britain when talking about Ewan’s voicing of Obi Wan; Scotland is in Britain. Britain contains England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Britain is the same as United Kingdom. So it’s actually the difference between England and Scotland that you meant instead of Scotland and Britain.
Great video, always love hearing your input on these characters and making the prequels shine.
Love your channel keep it up
