Ewan McGregor has opened up on his ‘amazing’ reunion with Hayden Christensen.
The Star Wars legends will be back together in Disney+’s upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series as Ewan returns in the title role and Hayden reprises his role as Anakin Skywalker – yes, Darth Vader himself.
Reflecting on their on set reunion, he told Entertainment Weekly: ‘To see Hayden back in the role of Anakin, well… it was sort of spine-tingling.
‘It was amazing. It was just amazing to see Hayden full-stop. I’m so close to him – we’ve stayed in touch over the years, but we haven’t seen each other for a long time.
‘I looked across at him and we’re on a set and… I look over at him and he’s Anakin now, and I’m Obi-Wan now, and it’s like nothing had happened.
‘I didn’t see any age on his face. I just felt like the period of time between Episode III and now didn’t exist. It was so peculiar.’
