Perhaps not as much symbolical as more a tribute of Lucas and to tie the two trilogies together - Alec and Ewan as Obi-Wan type ofthing is how I look at it.

Also i must add: Ewan nailed it too! applause ... i love how he incorporated Sir Alec's performance to his own, but yet imo u can tell he didnt just copy it, he put his own take on it aswell. happy

Ewan definitely gave the role his own personality, but I can definitely see Sir Alec in there at times in some of the mannerisms and the way he says certain lines...uncanny.

As Obi-Wan would say "Good job" Ewan! laugh

Yeah, u can tell he watched A LOT of Sir Alec before shooting his scenes for sure happy ... if i remember right, he said he asked them to make him a reel of all of Sir Alec's scenes so he could watch them over and over nerd ...it's no wonder Ewan kept repeating the Obi Wan lines a lot while on the Long Way Round trip laugh

I think they are permanently etched in his head. It's a wonder Obi-Wan didn't drive Ewan crazy! laugh

And who says Ewan didn't get a kick outta playing Obi-Wan. To think otherwise is just pure nonsense. He said it was tough, and working with blue/green screen was tiring and difficult, but he didn't say he doesn't like Star Wars. He has said he even played with toy lightsabers as a kid and pretended like lots of kids do. Geez, enough already. It gets old rather quickly.

Did he say the bikes thing for real?

Ewan is funny tongue

The "hello there" IS symbolical, and I just realized why. I'm a genius tongue silly

Remember in ESB when he says that he was reckless too: well, there's your proof. In ANH scares the tuskens away, then when Luke awakes, he says "hello there" - very calmy, very heart warming. Then he goes on to say that the must get away soon so they don't get into trouble with the tuskens again...

Compare that with ROTS where he jumps into the pits of hell and goes "hello there" - not looking for a fight was a hard lived dream at that moment tongue

Reckless indeed grin

Yes he really did say it... at the time one of the motorbikes he was travelin' in was getting fixed by his friend Charlie and he was holding the bike...suddenly some ppl pull over in a car and he proceeds to say that line laugh ...it was very funny to see his face when he said it too laugh ... Ewan's a riot happy

Rossa: laugh well he still thought before jumping in ROTS, so i dunno how reckless that might be... after watching the PT i figure maybe he meant he was reckless in pre-PT era thinking

Veloz, it's been a while since I popped LWR in, but weren't those people German or Czech police cops? They ask him something and he replies "these aren't the bikes you're looking for - move along, move along". laugh

I also remember a clip from the LWD site and showed Ewan trying to use the force to levitate something. Hilarious. grin

ADD ON: Rossa, I think Obi-Wan knew of Grievous' desire and urge to want to fight Jedi himself due to his obsession with collecting the lightsabers of Jedi he killed - and would then love to use them on other Jedi. Obi-Wan no doubt thought that Grievous wanted him all for himself, and wouldn't want anyone or thing to interfere. Just my take on Obi's thoughts as he's pondering his course of action up on the ledge or walkway in RotS.

Hmm well it's been a while since i watched LWR, so it could have been police laugh ... oh well, it's a good excuse to rewatch it soon whistling

I must admit though, Obi Wan usually has really cool lines so it's fun to just keep saying them randomly laugh

I stand corrected. I'm not the genius I thought I was tongue

Would've been wonderful if Ewan had put in the line "good job" to the police as well
"These are not the bikes you're looking for... move along, move along"
"Yes, I see that now... we shall move along."
"Good job"

He has magic powers
grin
