Ewan McGregor & Hayden Christensen On Their Love For The Star Wars Prequels | Entertainment Weekly

I know a lot of fans that really enjoy the prequels. Myself included. I’m happy Ewan and Hayden get to see all of the love fans have for them now.

[TelTalks]

Hats off to Ewan’s stylist, has looked dapper in every interview I’ve seen him in the past couple of weeks. 👏🏼

[Tonycillian]

Hayden Christensen being doing press just hits different. He hasn’t been in the series that long till now. But I seriously hope he makes a return to acting in mainstream films outside Star Wars

[vitorcastro]

Hayden's hair is giving me such a nostalgic feeling ❤️

[captaindelta]

Ewan and Hayden are like the bar standard which all the other actors here look upto . Whatever they did with their character is just ICONIC LEGENDARY

[florencedelvalle]

Loving how Hayden and Ewan look. They don’t seem to age. Their chemistry is fire. Kudos to Moses for portraying her character so well. She is gorgeous in every way. Looking forward to the series .

It's so sad the critics made Ewan McGregor dislike the Star Wars universe for a while, while he had such amazing acting skills and gave so much energy and devotion to bring the character to life. I'm so glad he came back and enjoys it more now, well deserved!

[lucysterloff]

ewan and hayden, we’re SO happy to have you back, i love you both sm 🫶🥹

[PamelaRubel]

Ewan and Hayden (along with Mark Hamill) are my favorite actors in Star Wars, amongst a sea of amazing actors. You can see how much they love the Star Wars universe. I really think these 3 actors were absolutely perfect for the characters! I mean the entire main cast of the prequels and OT were perfect for the characters.

[kdawg]

Prequels are soooo underrated. Now we know they kickass. Hayden and Ewan are such class. 👍👍

[queenb]

Two episodes in and it's already chills....can't wait to see some lightsaber action. Love Hayden and Ewan being back. Better than before.

[NKWTI]

Great episodes so far, really gut twisting to realize what Obi Wan is feeling and nostalgic for what he cannot and will not have until Luke revitalizes things.

[moist_captain]

I love the prequels and the performances these two gave. You can feel they gave it their all.

[TheBalladOfGreenT]

I really hope they give Hayden some great stuff to do. Attack of the Clones had some bad dialogue but I thought he was awesome in Revenge of the Sith.

[marsipannable]

I love that everyone appreciates hayden now.he deserves it

[iris-xo]

i dont even watch star wars and have no idea what they're talking about but i watch these interviews for Hayden Christensen <3

[JG]

I have so much respect for the whole entire prequel cast. Despite the asshole prequel bashers they still won’t let that slow them down from providing us fans who love the prequels a great story and they always deliver. I’m so grateful to them! I’m loving the series so far!❤️😃

[karabellaellaellaella]

It’s sad that they look back on the prequels and say that. I loved 2 and 3 actually and I’ve been made fun of for even liking the prequels. I’m glad they’re getting a second crack at it. Hayden and Ewan deserve it.

[claymorexx]

Since Hayden back on sw and back super happy on interview put me so much happiness in my life feel like the big brother back it's crazy made me cry cause he put his souls to the anakin roles and never get recognize as a very good actor like di caprio, if his agents got more serious role on a big screen it will be the actor of the decade I'm so glad he back acting we need more good director for him to make great future film Hayden will be always my favorite actor by his introspection on his feeling and plays so well all the gesture, man is gem for cinema love you Hayden ❤❤❤

[minkim]

These two deserve to do this series after all the crap the prequels got. They both did great and are just as iconic as the originals! Besides in the originals; for me it was all about Luke, Han and Leia. Those three actors were the iconic ones in those movies. In the prequels for me it was Anakin, and Obi Wan.
