Ewan McGregor is to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

After the late Carl Weathers was honored with a star on the Walk of Fame on August 29, another Star Wars legend is being celebrated for his contributions to film and television.

According to the Walk of Fame, Ewan McGregor will be honored with a star on September 12. The event will take place at 11:30 AM PT, and guests include filmmaker Mike Mills and McGregor's Star Wars co-star Hayden Christensen. This is fabulous news for Star Wars fans who will have an opportunity to celebrate Ewan's contributions to Hollywood and see his heartwarming reunion with Hayden Christensen.

Beyond his contributions to Star Wars, Ewan McGregor has starred in unforgettable films such as Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge, Black Hawk Down, Big Fish, and The Ghost Writer. He's been nominated for a Golden Globe Award four times and won Best Actor in a Limited Series for Fargo. He's also received five Emmy nominations and bagged an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series for Halston. Most recently, he received an Emmy nomination for Best Actor in a Limited Series for his performance in Obi-Wan Kenobi.

McGregor has several upcoming projects to look forward to. However, he continues to hope for a return to Star Wars as Obi-Wan Kenobi and believes that he will be brought back eventually. He expressed his hope to reprise his role as Kenobi again, noting that he's approaching the age Alec Guinness was when he portrayed the legendary Jedi Master in Star Wars: A New Hope. While there's no news on when we can expect Ewan's return as Obi-Wan, he's becoming more and more of a presence at various fan conventions. With these conventions come the reunions with his co-star, Hayden Christensen, something that fans have come to relish.

Christensen will have an opportunity to honor his co-star and friend, who he met during the making of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones when he was just a teenager. He has repeatedly credited Ewan for welcoming him to the Star Wars family. The duo have developed an enduring friendship and respect that's only grown over the years since the prequels. Their heartwarming friendship and mutual respect will be the center of attention on September 12, when Christensen will make a speech for McGregor as he receives a star on the Walk of Fame. We can't wait to hear Hayden's humorous take on the "high ground" and his cherished memories of working with Ewan McGregor as his on-screen mentor and off-screen companion.
