Hello There!

From Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Christian to Mark Renton, Ewan McGregor has been a fan favorite for a long time. He can act, he can sing, and he can even drive a motorcycle. A man with so many talents deserves some time in the spotlight, so we're appreciating the talents of the one, the only, Ewan McGregor.

The Jedi Master

Since 1999, Ewan McGregor has played the live action version of Obi-Wan Kenobi with his latest appearance being in the Disney+ show Obi-Wan. He's shared the auspicious name of 'Obi-Wan' with other incredible actors such as Sir Alec Guiness (Original Trilogy), Bernard Behrens (radio play adaptation), James Arnold Taylor (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), and Stephen Stanton (Star Wars: Rebels).

Ewan McGregor has given the Star Wars fandom some of their favorite quotes over the years and has won the hearts of so many. Whether you are a fan of the prequels or not, Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan was an incredible casting choice.

Adventures on a Motorcycle

Not only is Ewan McGregor a talented actor but he is also a globe trotter. Ewan and his buddy Charley Boorman have taken the trips from Europe to LA, from Scotland to Cape Town South Africa, and from Argentina to LA. They documented their adventures through video diaries and by using a camera crew that would attempt to follow them. If you love a good ol' adventure world tour, we highly recommend watching.
