During Ewan McGregor’s recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel he set the record straight and about Oasis lead singer Noel Gallagher’s story that the two had a lightsaber fight after he was cast as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
McGregor confirmed that the battle did indeed take place during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, however, the actor said he didn’t remember anyone giving lessons — Gallagher had claimed to have given such lessons to McGregor.
“Well, it was Noel Gallagher’s 30th birthday party and he lived quite close to me in London, north London,” McGregor said. “And I was at his party and then there was a lightsaber fight in his garden very early the next day in the morning. But I don’t remember too much instruction. I don’t remember any lessons being given by Noel. It was just more of a battle in the garden.”
As for who actually won the battle, McGregor said he didn’t think either he or Gallagher could recall that detail.
