Ewan McGregor's Epic Response to Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Star Wars

Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, a beloved Hollywood couple, are both actively involved in Star Wars projects. Their on-screen collaboration is also mirrored in their personal lives, as they share a connection to the popular space wizard franchise. When Winstead was cast as Hera Syndulla in Ahsoka, Star Wars fans were thrilled to see the Twi'lek ace pilot from Star Wars Rebels brought to life on the big screen. What's even more exciting is that Winstead is married to McGregor, who has played the iconic role of Obi-Wan Kenobi for years. McGregor was thrilled to share in the excitement with his wife and offered her nothing but support when she joined the Star Wars universe.

Winstead shared in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly how her husband reacted to her joining the Star Wars family. She expressed, "He was genuinely happy and excited for me. There's nothing quite like being embraced by this community and being a part of it. It's truly something special." It's clear that with McGregor's significant role in the franchise, Winstead's husband has the right mindset.

Winstead is thrilled to be a part of the Star Wars world, where people are invested in the characters and care so much about the franchise. Despite playing prominent characters, she and McGregor are unlikely to ever meet in the story due to their characters' age difference and Obi-Wan's need to hide during Hera's active time. Winstead and McGregor's shared love for Star Wars was evident even before Winstead joined the cast, and Rosario Dawson remarked on their "Star Wars family" dynamic. People would approach Winstead, wishing her luck with the upcoming release of Obi-Wan, and she found the experience heartwarming.

It's no secret that fans of certain franchises can be quite particular. While some may resort to unjustified criticism and even racism, others come together to share their love for a common interest, resulting in a truly magical experience. Fortunately, it appears that both McGregor and Winstead have been able to enjoy this type of camaraderie, and hopefully, this trend will continue for them and all those who cherish this beloved series. Mark your calendars for August 2023, when Ahsoka is set to premiere on Disney Plus.
