Ewan McGregor may play an elder Obi-Wan in his self-titled 2022 Disney+ series, but the Scotsman still had to get in serious shape.
That’s clear from glimpsing just a few seconds of this exclusive clip, shared with Men’s Journal to celebrate the April 30 release of Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Complete Series on 4K UHD & Blu-ray.
“It was incredible, the training we did, because it was so thorough in charting Obi-Wan’s arc” reveals McGregor. “Not only storywise, but through the fighting.”
Watch him turn back the years in this behind-the-scenes clip as he swings and spins with lightsaber in-hand. Thankfully, it’s switched off. You can’t be too careful.
