It's well known at this point that one of Joel Edgerton's first high profile roles came during the Star Wars prequel trilogy, with the eventual superstar playing the part of Owen Lars, Luke Skywalker's eventual uncle, in both Episode II & III.

But what you may not have realised is that Joel wasn't actually the only Edgerton to grace a Star Wars set during the making of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

It turns out that Joel's brother Nash was the stunt double for none other than the mighty Obi-Wan Kenobi himself, Ewan McGregor.

And that isn't the only well known project Nash has thrown himself into over the years either, with the Edgerton man popping up in the likes of The Matrix, Moulin Rouge!, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, too.

Though all of those other productions likely had their cool moments during shooting, you can bet nothing quite compared to walking around set or flailing a lightsaber as one of the most iconic Jedi of all time.
