One of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones’ most memorable sequences brought Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Ewan McGregor to the edge of nausea.
Star Wars speeder chase scenes can be nauseating (and that’s even before the fans have time to complain about it). At least, that’s how things turned out for Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Ewan McGregor during one memorable sequence on the set of Attack of the Clones.
Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones was a massive hit among audiences when it premiered in 2002. However, this is in pretty striking contrast to what critics and angry people ultimately decided about its quality. But despite many insisting that Attack of the Clones is simply a bad movie, it’s not difficult to see why so many others look at it with wistful nostalgia and, in some cases, even favorably with fresh eyes. The film remains endlessly quotable and meme-able to this day, and certain scenes still impress. But one scene wasn’t quite as fun to film as it was to watch.
In a 2002 interview with Star Wars Insider Magazine, McGregor revealed some of the hardships he went through during the creation of the, at that point, upcoming film. The speeder chase on Coruscant remains memorable, but it impacted him at the time for a different reason.
