40. Quick: What was Ewan McGregor’s reaction to portraying Obi Wan in the new Star Wars trilogy? Answer: McGregor, who spent hours watching Alec Guinness’ movies to perfect the original Obi Wan’s accent, told Graham Fuller in an interview he felt playing Obi Wan was: “Very weird. The Jedi Knights have got a sense of what's going to happen, so they don't freak out or panic or anything. But after a while I noticed the only thing I was doing was frowning a lot. That's a worry when you shoot for three-and-a-half months.”
