That's the link to the interview.

Well ... it's nothing new (except the part about his daughter starting college in NYC - woohoo!). We knew they were planning a trainspotting sequel, and we knew he dislikes people who collect signatures just to sell them. Being who he is, of course he would be concerned for children to be crushed in the masses. Sweet man.

I like the tidbits about Laurence of Arabia and Woody Allen.

 

So he has actually moved his family to NY? I was a little put off by all the cussing, but otherwise it is nothing new.

He really dislikes people to get autographs just to sell, and I can understand. Someone like him is so giving to his real fans, and loves children...it would make him angry to see children shoved aside to get to him so they can sell his autograph.

But I'm a little sad he won't have anything to do with the Star Wars conventions...but it's his choice I suppose...but Obi-Wan not to represent at them....

The good thing though it all the mania hasn't put him off on wanting to reprise Obi-Wan in the stand alone movies. I do hope he gets to do them.

 

It didn't sound as if he had, did it? After all, "The Real Thing" will only run till January. Hmmmm.

I've always loved his responses in interviews when he was asked about Star Wars ... He adored the kids and loved their reactions but could only raise his eyebrows at adults who behaved the same way.

 

WHAT?! Have they moved from LA to NY in stead????

 

Hmmm ... two websites and none of them can say for certain whether they've moved to NYC for the duration of the play, or whether they have moved for good. ARGH!!!

Loved the article and pics...and here, below the pic of Moulin Rouge, is this comment:

Now that the Scottish actor has moved to New York with his wife, he said it seemed like the right time to do Broadway, acting in Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing.
He said: 'I was never asked to do it! No, I've got a wife and kids, and I was never willing to move my whole family from L.A. to New York.'

Does it mean that they moved for good?

 

This is what is confusing me. ) Ewan "says" he didn't want to move his family from LA to NYC, and the newspapers say he did move.
Until I see more "proof", I'm waiting until February (until after the play has ended) before I believe that he's staying in NY, no matter how much I'd love that.

Maybe they just rented a home for some time for his rehearsals and to see Clara settled?

 

I'm agreed with Nanuk. I'm gonna need more proof.

 

I just hope the family is content regardless.

 

Just re-watching ROTS and melting Ewan into Obi-Wan ... and wondered whether there is any instance where we can see a real Ewan laugh on Obi-Wan's face? Not just a gentle smile, but laughter? Maybe in the first part with young Obi-Wan?

 

I'm not sure....he was so subdued for Obi-Wan...the closest I can think of was when he met with Dex in the second movie..and we saw that easy open smile. He did Obi-Wan so well, I forget it's Ewan playing him.

 

OMG! Why have I never seen this before?



Hilarious. LOL

 

OMG!! I need to see that with sound...I've never seen it either...and why was it deleted???

 

Some of the best scenes with Obi!!!! I have seen it many times.


WHY DID YOU DELETED IT, GEORGE?!

 

I can imagine that some might think their levity un-called for, as it was right after Shaak-Ti's death. Since their banter is cute but doesn't advance the plot, I can see why their scenes were deleted (Gosh, but it's so sweet! LOL Can't they do Star Wars II 1/2?)

I would have liked more scenes with Bail, though, showing us that more people tried to oppose Palpatine, but at least they are in the novel - along with Padme's confession that there's one Jedi she can trust ... Obi-Wan.

 

Maybe Shaak Ti's death was deleted from the movie (and later scenes that indicated her survival added to the novel) because of the original Clone Wars series, that had finished shortly before ROTS came out?

 

Probably. When I looked her up in Wookiedia, they said that she survived the "great Jedi purge". Can't happen if she dies on that ship.

 

Yeah, that's too bad....I still haven't seen that yet, but I will, when I get a chance...but just what little I saw and all these comments...it's almost a tragedy it didn't make the cut.

My son just got back from Austin this weekend from being an extra on a movie being shot there...It's called Lazer Team...and although what he did was a unpaid extra (and got to be a "featured" extra a couple times...it's start of his dream and was really excited to be on a real movie set.

 

How exciting! My fingers are crossed for him!

Don't worry about the vid ... it's almost a tragedy they didn't/ won't make a movie for all the things that happened in between Ep 2 and 3. More Obi-Wan-Anakin-banter would have been great.

 

Kenobi is here...in Norway!!!!! (I should have noticed that long time ago...)

 

Okay, time to set a deadline for my next Fallen Angel chapter...and the deadline will be Newyears Eve...hopefully it becomes true...

 

I would have loved to see a movie between eps 2-3 about Young Knight Kenobi and his Padawan...we could have seen so much of their growth on many levels...it would have been largely a character piece, but to keep the SW action fans happy a lot of adventure could have been thrown in (seeing Ewan's Obi-Wan going after a young Anakin who escaped to the bottom level Coruscant after those races would have been great.

Well, that's what we have FF for I guess...
