As a die-hard Star Wars enthusiast and a longtime admirer of the enchanting world created by George Lucas, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with joy at witnessing the heartwarming camaraderie between two extraordinary actors – Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen. Their friendship, forged in the fires of Mustafar, has been a testament to their shared talent and unwavering dedication to their craft.
Ewan McGregor, well-known in the esteemed realm of Hollywood, recently received a significant honor – star number 2789 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In sunny California for this momentous occasion, he was joined by his longtime friend and co-star from the Star Wars universe, Hayden Christensen, who portrayed Darth Vader. The strong bond between these two actors, both in the fictional galaxy and their real lives, has been evident for a long time. Christensen appeared to support McGregor and offer a heartfelt speech on his behalf during the ceremony. Reflecting on their first encounter, which took place on the set of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002), Christensen reminisced about their friendship that blossomed over the years.
As we began conversing, I found him incredibly friendly. He shared his enthusiasm for our collaboration and the enjoyable times ahead during our lightsaber training. His kindness towards me was exceptional, and it quickly became clear that I was encountering someone extraordinary – not only as an actor, but as a person – and that I was making a new friend.
Christensen humorously connected his touching narrative to their career highlight, depicting the iconic characters Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi, notably during their intense lightsaber fight on the fiery planet of Mustafar in Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith (2005). As the applause began to lessen, he playfully underscored how that dramatic lightsaber clash unfolded for him. Christensen went on to comment:
A companion who eventually severed both my legs and abandoned me in a perilous state near a volcano, yet considering the circumstances, it seems I brought about this fate upon myself. [The crowd, including McGregor, bursts into laughter]
Hayden Christensen’s Friendship with Ewan McGregor Began on Day 1
Ewan McGregor, known for numerous remarkable films throughout his illustrious career, has yet to receive an Oscar nomination. However, he’s now among the esteemed in Hollywood, gracing Tinseltown’s prestigious Walk of Fame. Hayden Christensen emphasizes that McGregor is not just a talented actor; he’s an exceptional person, as stated during a speech:
When I ponder upon Ewan, my thoughts revolve around his unique character. Numerous anecdotes surface, yet it’s the memory of our initial encounter that stands out. This took place in Australia, where we were both preparing for Star Wars: Episode II. On the studio tour, I was eagerly anticipating meeting him for the first time. The producer was guiding me, showing me various things, and he was about to introduce me to Ewan. My excitement level was sky-high as I was already a big fan of his.
Christensen continued:
In this scenario, I entered a room where they said Ewan would be present. Before I could even spot him, I recognized his voice. With more excitement than I had ever heard my name spoken with [McGregor chuckles], he called out to me. I turned, and there he was, approaching me swiftly, wrapping me in the most charmingly welcoming hug. He’s simply an incredibly kind individual.
After securing a permanent spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the skilled actor resumes his work, and if the whispers are accurate, McGregor might be up for the role of Green Lantern.
