To watch McGregor's full take(down) on Obi-Wan's prequel hair, watch the video at the top of the post. So it's much more less groomed and longer." He's without hope, he's without faith and he wanted this sort of hair and beard to represent that. I think it's a man who's been not looking after himself so much, and I wanted a much more sort of unkempt look where Obi-Wan starts at the beginning of that story, he's pretty hopeless. Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi Obi-Wan Kenobi I've seen some clips of both episode 1 and the reshoots from episode 2 where you're like, 'Are you kidding me?'"

As part of our exclusive cover story on the upcoming series, we grilled Ewan McGregor about the most important aspect of playing Obi-Wan: the hair. That doesn't mean he has always been a master of fashionable hairstyles, however.
