#StarWars #Kenobi Ewan Mcgregor chooses his lightsaber for Star Wars Epsiode 1: The Phantom Menace! Kenobi picks the lightsaber he wants! Such an exciting time before filming even started!
Verse one: Federation’s blockading Naboo Council decides to send Jedi 1 and 2 Locked in a room filled full of dioxide “Not to worry” qui gon says “the force will be our guide” We bustin out like we rose from the dead First thing I do is slice of a droids head One two one two dropping down like flies Pile of scrap right before my eyes Get to the command room but the doors sealed tight Qui gon had a plan everything was supposed to be just right Melting the door like butter just to get to gunray He nearly gunned us down so we flew down the hallway Ventilations were the only viable option Gettin to the hanger there couldn’t be any stopping Before we parted ways in the space port One things for certain “The negotiations were short”
It’s crazy to think he chose his lightsaber. It was the perfect choice! It has clear inspiration from Qui-Gon’s while having similarities to Obi-Wan’s lightsaber in A New Hope.
We need a Obi wan and Qui Gon series before TPM. With Satine, a year in Mandalore, bounty hunters, terrorists, temple sparring, space pirates, more cool local factions, judicial forces in battle, Corvette fleet battles, assassins, more senators to protect, corruption, jedi starfighter dogfights, cool chase scenes, investigations + detective style missions, brokeringc peace in planetary civil wars, Yinchorri Conflict, Stark Hyperspace War, and a mission where Qui Gon and Kenobi take down Qui Gon's apprentice who turned to the dark side and became a dark jedi who learned how to use force lightning.
@@billclark5055 I'd love that! Qui-Gon is my favorite Star Wars character; he's so underrated. He was also the first video game character I ever played as, because the first video game I ever played was Lego Star Wars!
@@CygnusTheSilly I love Lego Star Wars. I still occasionally play it whenever I'm feeling bored! Easily one of the greatest video games of all time. And the General Grievous level is one of my favorites!
I felt exactly like Ewan when choosing my lightsaber hilt replica at Galaxy’s Edge. That caught my eye and I immediately had to get it before getting Luke’s ROTJ hilt. It’s been my favorite hilt ever since.
He said that initially he wanted a red lightsaber, but George wouldn't allow it for obvious reasons. They decided on purple so that the viewer could easily point out Mace Windu in that geonosis battle in the second movie.
I just love this. The way his face lights up and how excited he is, also how he holds the saber and picks one immediately, he's been waiting for this day for so long and it's really nice to see him become a big part of a franchise that he loves.
@@CygnusTheSilly Hello th- wait a moment....By the Force.... What happened to you guys? Oh no, that's no possible.... Very well, that explains everything
The lightsaber he chooses here gets lost in the first film, in the second, he uses another, and in the 3rd film, he uses one similar to the old Ben's lightsaber
I don't know what it is, but when people do a different accent from their natural one, often their voice goes up in pitch just a bit. I noticed the same thing when I used to be obsessed with the tv show Hannibal. Hugh Dancy's American accent was noticeably higher than his natural accent.

He's not Glasweigan. Trust me as a guy from Scotland Glasweigan is rougher than his. He's got the Scottish accent of further up North. Which is considered a lot nicer an accent. Its a lot smoother an accent. Closer to what Karen Gillan talks like but that's even further north
Two Glasgow accents if you're wondering. Still Game is entirely Glasgow an good ol Rab C Nesbitt is a much thicker old man accent that you hear from time to time
Oh man, I remember watching this in the special features of phantom menace on DVD. Oh the nostalgia! My little 8 year old self couldn’t get enough of this bonus content. The full video is like an hour long but surprisingly entertaining.
It took me 10 whole seconds he wasn’t in Jedi costume. Then I realized, no that’s just how we dressed in the 90s. Baggy everything. Bet Obi-Wan traded in his Jncos for Billabong when he went to Tattooine.
Its really cool seeing this video again now and realizing all of thse lightsaber designs eventually got used in the Canon. From closest to furthest in the case, it goes Kit Fisto's, Shakk Ti's, This next one I actually do not know, Plo Koon's, Obi-Wan's, and the Qui-Gon's. (If anyone knows that third one that I did not know, I'd love to be informed)
He chose the PERFECT lightsaber. It looks like a younger more stylish derivation of Qui-Gon's do to black grip and the relatively simple straight design, while also looking like predecessor to his saber in A New Hope because of the pommel. This is my favorite lightsaber in all of Star Wars. I gotta pick up replica one of these days.
I've been obsessed with lightsaber hilts since I was like, 4, so I also noticed the similarities between this one and Alec's (mainly in the pommel). I used to think they designed it specifically for Ewan until I learned Ewan picked the hilt himself.
@@Paulafan5Yeah Both are bit clunky however I find Anakins pre vader handle is only a bit clunky towards the bottom but nowhere near as clunky as vaders original design, vader has a lot more aesthetic design all over while anakin's is a bit cleaner towards the middle and top but they still look both lol pretty cool and are nice collection pieces to have
I Love This! They let my boy Ewan choose his saber, a reason to love behind the scenes Star Wars is what I need cause it is rare right now with lucasfilm under Disney, it’s nice seeing this
It seems like yesterday that Episode I came out in theaters, and it was actually over twenty one years ago last month. It’s overwhelmingly insane to comprehend.
Source material: Goes in depth how each jedi’s lightsaber were designed to fit the character that used it
Ewan: “I just wanted the black one”
Source material: goes deep into why each lightsaber is the color is is
Samuel L Jackson: I want purple
That is the true, is just a movie, a good movie
*Jesus
Mace windu or samuel Jackson is a master jedi and sith.
we all know he is a sith lord that deals in absolutes.
Now there's a collection Grievous would be proud of
A fine addition to my collection
Lmao
Brother
No cuz i already have them all.
Ahhh, if it isn’t the good general himself
When I clicked I thought he was wearing his Jedi robes
Lmao me to 🤣
It would make sense lol
Me too
Until I saw this comment I thought he was.
Me too
It's crazy to think Ewan could have chosen Maul's saber or something
Yep. The lore would change if he did. He was in command.
Ye
Holy crap... just imagine.
@@noobie5324 imagine he sliced off grevious legs and said *" You are shorter than I expected."*
@@theoneguest1 😂
Woah he could have chosen plo koon’s lightsaber
ikr, so weird to think
Or Qui gon’s
Or Darth Maul's o_O
I would of chosen yaddle's lightsaber if it was available.

That wasn't much of a rescue

Ewan was still uncertain on whether to become a Jedi or go at hogwarts
?
Hahahahha😂😂
@@jolkm8133 His robes
😂👍
“It’s over Malfoy, I have the high ground!”
He was ready for this moment. Even his hoodie looked like a Jedi robe.
Without paying to much attention I even thought it actually was his costume.
I didn t realize it was not his set costume before reading this comment
That’s probably why he has it
Wait....I thought it was a Jedi robe lol

Verse one:
Federation’s blockading Naboo
Council decides to send Jedi 1 and 2
Locked in a room filled full of dioxide
“Not to worry” qui gon says “the force will be our guide”
We bustin out like we rose from the dead
First thing I do is slice of a droids head
One two one two dropping down like flies
Pile of scrap right before my eyes
Get to the command room but the doors sealed tight
Qui gon had a plan everything was supposed to be just right
Melting the door like butter just to get to gunray
He nearly gunned us down so we flew down the hallway
Ventilations were the only viable option
Gettin to the hanger there couldn’t be any stopping
Before we parted ways in the space port
One things for certain
“The negotiations were short”
I think this is why Ewan resonates with us so much, he's clearly also a fan who loves this franchise and he brings such a great energy with him.
Young Ewan McGregor.

He just lived millions of childhood dreams in this one moment alone!
He almost chose Qui-Gon's!

I think he was told that he can't have that one in episode 3.
Makes sense since he needed to have a lightsaber that would match the one Obi-Wan had in A New Hope.
The lightsaber he chooses here gets lost in the first film, in the second, he uses another, and in the 3rd film, he uses one similar to the old Ben's lightsaber
Yeah, George mentions he has to get rid of it in Episode 3 during a behind the scenes clip
@@StarWarsExpanded Where can I find that?
@@GBKirbo the first fell in the hole in naboo
Anyone else love watching Ewan in Trainspotting as well? Such as versatile actor and seems like a cool guy.
Ahh yes, the negotiator adding a fine piece to his own collection
Ah, good choice. An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age.
Grievous was so nice.
He even gave George Lucas his collection of lightsabers for the Movie.
I don't have such weaknesses
“That’s your favorite eh?...well your gonna lose it down a shaft then”
Ewan: I really like this one!
George Lucas: Okay, so you're gonna have to switch to a different lightsaber for most of the time you hold one.
To be fair he had this design in two out of three prequels

Its because in the movies he puts on an English accent which is higher pitched to his glaswegian accent

His hoodie is very gryffindor though.
see you guys in 4 years when this gets in everyone's recommended
When he plays obi wan and he puts on that proper English accent he sounds so sophisticated. Its nice just to see Ewan just be Ewan here.

Ok, this is actually freaky. I just watched the Phantom Menace documentary today, and then I saw this video, which was uploaded 2 hours ago!
