OBI-WAN KENOBI Star Ewan McGregor Shares Which Scene In The STAR WARS Series Moved Him To Tears

Obi-Wan Kenobi star Ewan McGregor has reflected on the experience of watching the Disney+ series, revealing the unexpected scene that moved him to tears when he finally got to see it. Read on for details!

While Obi-Wan Kenobi came under fire from some fans for what they felt was an overreliance on VFX backgrounds created by The Volume, it's hard to deny that the series was an absolute delight for Star Wars fans. 

Set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, this previously untold story saw "Ben" forced to come out of hiding on Tatooine in order to protect a young Princess Leia. Along the way, he learned Anakin Skywalker was not only alive, but that he was now known as the fearsome Sith Lord, Darth Vader. 

They clashed on two occasions, including in an emotional finale that saw Obi-Wan accept that the man he knew as a friend had fully fallen to the Dark Side and was no more. 

However, that wasn't the scene which brought star Ewan McGregor to tears when he sat down to watch the Disney+ series.

During a recent interview with Disney Studios Awards (via SFFGazette.com), the actor said it was his final scene with Vivien Lyra Blair - which sees Obi-Wan bid farewell to the young girl - that brought tears to his eyes. 

"When I saw Episode 6 [of Obi-Wan Kenobi] for the first time...I got to see them down where we show in Manhattan Beach, and I went down there, and I watched Episodes 1 to 3," McGregor recalls. "They literally shut me in a room on my own, and I was so impressed."

"But when...I was sitting there, and I watched Episode 6...when I tell [Vivien Lyra Blair’s Leia], 'May the Force Be With You,' at the end, I burst into tears. I was sitting there [and] there’s something so moving about it."

It was a standout scene and one that really cemented Obi-Wan's relationship with Anakin's daughter (also helping explain why she turned to him for help in A New Hope). 

There's been no mention from Lucasfilm about plans for Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2, but fans remain optimistic, and McGregor has said on a number of occasions that there are more stories he would like to tell with the iconic Jedi Master.
