There are a lot of reasons to hate the Star Wars prequels. In fact, there are hundreds. But there are a few redeeming points, and one of them is Ewan McGregor, who somehow managed to pull off being incredibly awesome in those movies while simultaneously paying tribute to one of the most beloved English actors on film. This despite George Lucas playing cut-and-paste with his performance and being surrounded by CGI muppets and bad decisions.
So it makes this video, wherein talk show host Graham Norton breaks out three fancy replica lightsabers and has McGregor and his other guest run around with them, just that much funnier. This doesn’t need any more setup: you’ll find the video below:

I’m probably going to come off as a major idiot (mostly because I am one – it’s fashionable!) but for the life of me I can’t figure out who that third guy is but I know I’ve seen him somewhere before…
Never mind, I went ahead and just learned how to use the Internet and figured it out.
as this is a nerd blog, i would’ve thought you’d have touted the fact that Roy from the IT Crowd also appears in the clip.
whatever.
That is SO Graham Norton. LOL
@James Walker I actually didn’t recognize him, for some reason. I have been appropriately punished by Robo for my crime, forced to watch the Voyager episode “Threshhold” repeatedly.
