Ewan McGregor receives Walk of Fame star with delightful speech from Hayden Christensen

As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of joy and nostalgia as I witness Ewan McGregor receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The memories of Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of the most iconic characters in the galaxy far, far away, flood back like a tidal wave, reminding me of the magic and wonder that Star Wars has brought into my life.


On September 12, Ewan McGregor was bestowed with a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. The event saw an overwhelming turnout of admirers, acquaintances, and loved ones who gathered to celebrate his remarkable career milestones.

Ewan McGregor received much acclaim for his numerous outstanding and distinctive portrayals, particularly in the Star Wars series. The massive crowd of Star Wars enthusiasts in attendance demonstrated the significant influence McGregor has had on the galaxy a long time ago, as Obi-Wan Kenobi. In Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, McGregor assumed the role of the young Obi-Wan. Despite various criticisms leveled at Lucas’s prequel trilogy, McGregor’s acting was always highly praised. With each movie, his performance grew and matured as much as Obi-Wan’s hairstyles did over time.

In “Episode II – Attack of the Clones,” the narrative broadened to explore the intricate relationship between Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker, portrayed by Hayden Christensen. This on-screen connection enriched the tale, providing a deeper dimension. This relationship was crucial not just for the films but also for subsequent stories like “The Clone Wars.

Hayden attended to rejoice with his friend, whom he refers to as his “brother,” bringing joy to their followers. Time and again, Christensen expressed admiration for Ewan’s impressive acting career, marked by numerous standout performances. It was McGregor who made an indelible impression on Christensen throughout his life. He fondly reminisced about their first encounter, which took place at an Australian studio where McGregor’s welcoming demeanor immediately put him at ease.

In a jovial manner, Christensen playfully teased his buddy and sibling-like companion about losing both legs in a volcanic location, suggesting he was left to perish. This jest sparked an enthusiastic reaction from McGregor and the audience. The clearest indication that these two are close friends is how Ewan consistently kept a supportive hand on Hayden’s shoulder during his address. Christensen concluded his speech by expressing gratitude towards his friend for being an exceptional Jedi Master. Following Hayden’s heartfelt “I love you, brother” at the end of his speech, the duo shared a warm embrace.

It’s been an honor and a thrill to get to work with you and swing a lightsaber with you and, more than all of it, call you a friend. I love you, brother.

As a huge Star Wars fan, I can’t help but fervently wish that McGregor graces us with another round as Obi-Wan. To me, he’s the golden standard for the franchise.

To watch him embody this character, it’s like watching magic… the kind that really makes you believe in something bigger. He wasn’t just playing Obi-Wan. He was Obi-Wan. He is Obi-Wan. I really hope we get more Obi-Wan because this man is just Star Wars gold.

It seemed clear to me that they truly enjoy embodying their characters and value the chance to collaborate once more, possibly even more than anything else. Their Star Wars adventures are likely unique experiences they can’t fully articulate to anyone but each other. Witnessing their bond, I can merely wish for another season of Obi-Wan Kenobi or another project that allows this remarkable pair to breathe life into their characters once more.

The entire event was an enjoyable experience for Star Wars enthusiasts, yet it was also filled with deep emotion. This was due to the fact that Ewan McGregor’s star was placed thoughtfully near the late Carrie Fisher’s, a connection he humbly recognized. In many aspects, McGregor and Christensen are like this generation’s Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford. They’ve formed an unbreakable bond, and it’s wonderful to witness how their friendship has grown even stronger, despite the sorrowful nature of their on-screen relationship. In a world where everything changes, it’s heartening to know that some friendships are as enduring and resilient as the one between Ewan and Hayden.
