Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi has been one of the most pivotal characters in the Star Wars film saga. Be it training Anakin Skywalker in the prequel trilogy to mentoring Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy, this character has evidently carved a place in ardent fans' hearts. Ewan McGregor played the younger version of Obi-wan Kenobi in the prequel films and Alec Guinness essayed the same character, but much older and wiser. With the difference in age, both the actors have evidently brought in a substantial amount of originality to the character.
While Obi-Wan Kenobi's character was often regarded as the wise guiding force by Star Wars fans, Ewan McGregor brought in an unexpected charm to the character. McGregor essayed the role of Kenobi in the prequel films, which revolved around the lead character of Anakin Skywalker. Fans reportedly loved Evan's portrayal of the character calling him the best part of the prequel series. Ewan essayed a much younger version of Obi-Wan Kenobi which allowed the actor to bring in his charm and humour to the character. His portrayal of a younger Obi-Wan lacked the wisdom of Alec's older portrayal but brought in unexpected traits like humour and internal conflict.
