Halston. As McGregor gave the interview from his dressing room on the
Obi-Wan Kenobi streaming series set complete with posters for
The Phantom Menace,
Attack of the Clones, and
Revenge of the Sith on the wall above him it was inevitable that Star Wars would come up during the conversation. McGregor revealed that he filmed a special scene on Star Wars Day and discussed how it felt getting back into his Jedi costume, which he hints is slightly different from how it was while shooting for the movies.

(With silver straws to match.)
âIâd never heard of him,â said a bearded Mr. McGregor, Zooming from his L.A. home. âI didnât know Halston at all.â
