Ewan McGregor Reveals Surprising Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones Fact
Ewan McGregor reveals a surprising fact about the production of Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones. The second film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy just recently celebrated its 20-year anniversary, and the timing is quite perfect. McGregor is set to reprise his role as the titular Jedi master in the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Hayden Christensen, who made his Star Wars debut in Attack of the Clones, also returns in the series for the first time since the prequels. Attack of the Clones furthers the story of Anakin Skywalker (Christensen) as Obi-Wan uncovers brewing evil in the galaxy.

Attack of the Clones in particular earned mixed reviews; its dialogue and acting was a significant source of criticism, as it was often noted as being wooden. However, there might be a major behind the scenes reason for why some things were awkward onscreen.
