Ewan McGregor says playing two brothers on Alberta Fargo set an 'amazing challenge' - Calgary - CBC News

[BehrItAll]

Ewan is in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly (The one with Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer on the cover. )

Oh cool Gonna go look for it!

Serious question here: Why is it the unmasked Anakin in ROTJ was older than Ben Kenobi when Ben was supposed to have trained Anakin since he was a small boy and Ben was fully grown?

[a new hope]

You mean in the last ROTJ scene?

Yes, that is something I have never gotten an answer to

That's the edited version. The original version features older Anakin, the same age we saw when he died.

But why does Old Anakin (Sebastian Shaw) look way older than Ben?

Wait…what?

He's talking about Sebastian Shaw, the 78 year old English actor who played Anakin in ROTJ when Vader's helmet was removed and he's dying and redeemed and talks to Luke. The only real Anakin in my opinion. Shaw was older than Alec Guinness, true, but he was intended to be playing Anakin as in his 60s, with Kenobi supposed to have been in his 70s when he died (it's in the Annotated Screenplays).

Ewan is unrecognizable in that pic, Deb.

You think he looks older? I felt Sir Alec looked older. It think it was the white hair, while Shaw was bald.

Be that as it may, Vader was on the dark side and living in a mechanical suit. That takes a toll. That aged him a hell of a lot.

Did anyone see Ewan in Fargo? It premiered last night. It's good. So crazy.
He also plays his brother. So he's playing two roles.

Thanks for the info, my friend! Glad to see you on the boards.

I haven't seen Fargo, but it looks interesting. Does anyone know how many seasons there are? I don't have the patience to start a show with many seasons already aired.

Did anyone see Ewan in Fargo?

Is that where that pic is from?

[sum1]

I think so.
