20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
3. Ewan McGregor Was Forced To Don A Wig For Reshoots
While he may confess to absolutely adoring his time in the Obi-Wan Kenobi saddle whilst bringing to life George Lucas' Prequel trilogy today, there must've been a few moments when Ewan McGregor was left questioning why he ever bothered committing to becoming a pivotal part of this galaxy far, far away.
Away from having to utter hilariously dreadful lines about "killing younglings" and spending more time than anyone would prefer acting in front of a blue screen, arguably the most awkward part of his Star Wars experience involved the numerous god-awful wigs he was forced to don during the films' reshoots.
Attack of the Clones saw McGregor infamously sport that fake facial fuzz due to a bout of reshoots months after principal photography, of course. But that awful hair simply paled in comparison to the dreaded short-hair wig the Scot was shoved into for reshoots on The Phantom Menace.
Making matters worse, on top of numerous moments of McGregor blatantly showing off anything but legit locks being difficult to unsee once you spot them, some genius decided to use one of said reshoot short-hair wigged images of McGregor on promotional posters for the incoming flick!
