Ewan McGregor Explains In Detail Why He Almost Turned Down Star Wars

Ewan McGregor explains in detail why he almost passed on playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequels. After the original Star Wars trilogy was a resounding success in the late 1970s and early '80s, it would be nearly 20 years before George Lucas returned to the franchise with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The film takes place before the events of A New Hope and tell the story of two Jedi who discover a young boy who may be able to bring balance to the Force.
