Specifically, Christensen joked that Obi-Wan and Anakin suffered tragedy on screen.

What Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor’s Friendship Means for Star Wars
It’s hard to imagine Star Wars What would this movie be without Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen. Even though they both appeared in the prequel trilogy, Star Wars They were already very popular before they joined the series, and they were all Star Wars To this day. In fact, although the prequel trilogy initially received mixed reviews, they are now widely regarded as Star Wars’ The best movie.

Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen are real brothers
As a big fan of the prequel films, it was also very nice to know that Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen had a genuine brotherly bond, as this isn’t always the case. It’s understandable that the characters on screen can have a strong bond with each other that the actors can’t have in real life. However, knowing that McGregor and Christensen truly love each other like brothers makes their onscreen relationship that much deeper.
Equally exciting is that both McGregor and Christensen mentioned the possibility of Ewan McGregor playing Obi-Wan Kenobi again, either in Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 or whatever. While that’s still speculation, personally, I’d be happy to see McGregor (and Christensen) return.
