Matt-Liell Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 Do u like the prequel obi-wan played by Ewan McGregor or the Older obi-wan played by Sir Alec Guinness?
obi Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man.............. Like there can be only one? Holy Crap! I like um both! *head explodes*
-s/<itzo- Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 i like obi played by Ewan McGregor. but Alec Guinness wasn't bad at all. (did he die????)
obi Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 Originally posted by -s/<itzo- (did he die????) Unfortunatly, yes, he did.
Old_Ben Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 Yes, Alec Guinness was a great actor. I enjoy Ewan MacGregor's Obi Wan also. They both have their own way of portyaing him, but I like both versions.
TheWhiteRaider Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 I like the older one. I think that he was a better actor, but that does not mean that McGregor can't act.
gorganfloss Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 I like McGregor as Obi a bit better. I dont know why, though.
JediNyt Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 Both. No way to choose between such great actors.
Darth Talliusc Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 ewan mcgregors character is aimed at the society of today. alec guinness' was aimed at the society 20 years ago. i wont be surprised if ewan wins, hes marketed to us..... yeah i picked ewan. *if anybody tries to pick obi-wan13 they get slapped!*
SettingShadow Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 Nooooooo I cant choose between those great actors, I think that they both played him very well.
Hekx Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 I like both the actors who played Obi-wan Kenobi. Both did a fine job Ewan gets my vote though, due to the current time and special effects of the newer movies.
Sivy Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 i think they couldn't of found anyone better to play the young obi-wan, just like they couldn't of found anyone better to play the older obi-wan
C'jais Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 I knew this thread would pop up. Stop the damn polls already... That said, I think Obi Wan in episode 2 had the most funky haircut and beard - therefore he gets my vote. Both played him very well, though.
PhantomHelix Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 i thought they were both very good.......they both were very good at playing Obiwans part and made him a cool guy.
ZBomber Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 both good, but Obi in episode 4 did not jump around, he just swung his lightsaber back in forth. So Ewan gets my vote.
ckcsaber Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 I liked Alec Guiness version of Obi Wan better. He was more experiance and gave us all the picture of a wise old jedi master in episode 4.
Kstar__2 Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 ewan really had fun playing it, you can see it in his eyes, and alec guinnes just's hasn't, so my vote goes to ewan
mima kake Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 I gp for guinness. I mean ewan could use the things guinnes did. While guines had to build up the character from scratch.
lllKyNeSlll Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 ... old one because its more classic . its the obiwan that i picture when the words obiwan are spoken

The same thing I was going to say. I like old school obi a little better. But both actors did a fine job. Different times and of course we get to see a lot more of young obi. Old Ben was the man! Here's a question: Do you think it's becuase the actors are good or they've been molded to play the part by Lucas? Do you think anybody could play the part of Obi-wan Kenobi? BTW: did you know that George Lucas was going to cast *pukes* N'SYNC as extras for the movie, but due to overwhelming amounts of hate-mail he decided against it. Good choice (I woulda picked New Kids on the Block, lol).
Darth Talliusc Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 must... resist...urge....to slap.... rogue15.... GAHHHHHHHHHH *pop* much better, i dont think that just anybody could play the part of obi-wan kenobi but a fair bit of what we see is because of the directors and writers. i wonder what ep2 wouldve been like if Ewan wrote his own lines.... the focus of epIV obi-wan was a kindly grandfather type. he was a kind, sort of laidback teacher. he was never too concerned with what was going on. he was much calmer then prequel obi-wan. the focus of prequel obi-wan was as a strict teacher who took everything too seriously. those actors pulled off those parts well and for that they are regarded as great actors. these are just my personal opinions but they make sense to me. edit: anybody notice that in the prequels obiwan is referred to as master kenobi or master obi-wan yet in the later ones hes known as "ben" or "old ben". seems like a kindlier fellow just by the name in the sequels... err. the old ones.... THE ONES MADE IN THE 70's/80/s
Mex Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 I like the one is Episode 2, he was a barrel of laughs. "Oh not good!" "Good job!" I'm still laughing now...
