Beautifully Done. Wow.

Beautifully done. Wow.

.Trainspotting (1996) + T2 Trainspotting (2017).

[Song: How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead]

basic "I wish Qui-Gon had trained me" Anakin moment that Obi-Wan hears that the fandom loves but he says it near Windu or Plo Koon, and they just respectfully rip him to shreds for it

"Skywalker, Obi-Wan has been more successful raising you than Qui-Gon ever was with any of his Padawans. He took a chance on you when no-one else would and I don't believe you are stupid enough to forget that."

Or, considerably worse

"Youngling, you're lack of respect and faith are why he is so unwilling to share with you his Padawan years. Obi-Wan suffered to reach the end of Qui-Gon's training. He is not underestimating your skill, he is trying to spare you the Padawan training he received."

Hello!

I feel your sadness and agree. Luckily, I have some info that will hopefully brighten your spirits! Ewan actually did two more musicals after Moulin Rouge!

In 2005, he performed in the stage musical "Guys and Dolls." Unfortunately, I haven't come across a bootleg of the full play but here's a link to him singing "Luck be a Lady" https://youtu.be/yigcJ3OCa-s?si=I70lyYBb6H6ra1Gf

Then in 2017, he was in Disney's live action "Beauty and the Beast" as Lumière. Now, he's a CGI candlestick for 99% of the movie, but he does sing twice that I can recall!

Finally, here's a list of Ewan movies after 2001 that aren't musicals but he does sing in for one reason or another:

Down with Love - 1 end credit song (absolutely gorge)

Miss Potter - 1 song (serenades the main character midway through the movie)

T2 Trainspotting - 1 song midway through the movie (not a serious song at all but still fun)

Bleeding Love - 2 songs (1st in the middle of the movie for fun and 2nd during the end credits as a duet with his daughter)

If you'd like a list of movies pre-Moulin Rouge I can do that too!

Sometimes I think about the fact that after Moulin Rogue, Ewan Mcgregor never did another musical and it makes me sad for the world.

Wow, yes, I agree. I see this commonality in you and Oliver as well. 🫂💜

Thank you for playing, my dear friend!

Oliver Fields (Beginners) + 6. What's something you have in common with this character?

Oof, that's tough. I think part of why he feels sad is because he's waiting for something more—something that will suddenly make everything better. I can relate to that: to waiting for the "lion."

Hal: ...let's say since you were little, and... and you... you always dreamed of... of someday getting a lion, and you wait and you wait and you wait and you wait, and the lion doesn't come. Then along comes a giraffe. You can be alone, or you can be with the giraffe.

Oliver: I'd wait for the lion.

Hal: That's why I worry about you.

Ewan Character Ask Game

Obi-Wan Kenobi + 8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

Oh yeah, Pal we're going there. I choose violence! Lol

Oooooo we’re going there. Ok.

I hate when Obi-Wan is portrayed as cold and unfeeling. The most emotionally charged moments of the prequels come from Obi-Wan (Qui-Gon’s death and Mustafar’s “you were The Chosen One!!!). He does show his emotions: sadness, grief, irritation, annoyance, pride, to name a few. He’s affectionate towards Anakin. He hugs Dex.

Just because he’s not creepy stalker flirting levels of professing his love or slaughtering villages in his grief doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel them.

He has emotions but he’s the example of what a Jedi should be - not ruled by them.
