10 Star Wars Scenes Even More Impressive When You Know The Truth

10. Ewan McGregor And Hayden Christensen Were NOT Sped Up - Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith

Hot on the heels of the pair reuniting within the Star Wars sphere during this year's Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series, now feels like as good a time as any to remind folks just how damn dedicated Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen were to the lightsaber fighting cause nearly two decades earlier.

With the Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker actors tasked with taking part in perhaps the most hotly anticipated showdown in the franchise's history up to that point, the duo threw their hearts and bodies into two months of fencing and general fitness preparation in the lead-up to shooting the climactic Mustafar sequence in Revenge of the Sith.

As it goes, the pair's commitment to nailing the choreography led to the stars being able to perform it at such a fierce speed on the day of shooting that their lightsaber combat sequence didn't need to be digitally accelerated in post-production in the slightest.

And unsurprisingly, both McGregor and Christensen didn't appear to suffer from any duelling rust upon crossing sabers once again in their recent rematches of the century or flashbacks either.
