Related in real life
Dennis Lawson and Ewan McGregor are actually related in real life, Dennis being Ewan’s uncle. For those of you who do not know, Dennis Lawson played Wedge Antilles in the original trilogy and of course, Ewan McGregor is Obi-Wan. But there was a time when it seemed like Ewan was not going to take the role.
Ewan McGregor was very skeptical about accepting the chance to be in a Star Wars movie when he was offered the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi. But his uncle Dennis, who was a personal hero to the young actor at the time, convinced him to do it. Since then, Ewan has had no regrets.
