During the meeting, Hayden Christensen returned to their most striking confrontation: the duel of Mustafar in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

“The one that Ewan and I did in the end, our battle on Mustafar was something that we really awaited impatiently. From the start, we knew that there would be this great confrontation between Anakin and Obi-Wan, and that he would lead to a fight of epic laser”he said.

The 44 -year -old actor recalled that he had spent months training with McGregor to make the fight as perfect as possible. He also praised the choreographer Nick Gillard, who, according to him, “Really told a story through this duel. I am very proud of what we have accomplished there”.
