This hilarious clip from Star Wars Celebration 2022 reveals how Star Wars movies and TV shows take place in those movies. With so much riding on the movies, the pressure was on, and Ewan McGregor evidently had one comical workaround.
In a video posted by snapvir on TikTok, Ewan McGregor reveals that, while filming Attack of the Clones, young Boba Fett actor Daniel Logan struggled with delivering the right degree of suspicion. McGregor's solution, which he explained during Star Wars Celebration 2022, was to tell the young actor to imagine he had "done a terrible fart."
Evidently, this tip from McGregor did the trick, because the final cut of the scene in Attack of the Clones certainly conveys suspicion.
Ewan McGregor's Tip Made Attack Of The Clones Work
Obi-Wan's Discovery Of The Clones Was Pivotal
While this scene between young Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi may seem somewhat inconsequential, it was actually essential that these scenes in Attack of the Clones be convincing. Obi-Wan's time on Kamino was an incredibly significant turning point in the larger Star Wars story. With the discovery of the clone army, the downfall of the Jedi was officially underway, and, by accepting the army so quickly, the Jedi sealed their fate.
This suspicion from Boba Fett had its own fascinating implications. As a clone (even if he was unaltered), Boba Fett's wariness of Obi-Wan laid the foundation for the complex dynamic between the clones and the Jedi. This continued into the Galactic Empire timeline, as shows like Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Bad Batch revealed. There was a personal significance for Boba Fett as well, given it would be a Jedi who killed his father later in Attack of the Clones.

Although viewers were left disappointed by The Book of Boba Fett, many are hoping to see Temuera Morrison return as the legendary bounty hunter.
Our Take On The Young Boba Fett
Young Boba Fett Was Absolutely Brilliant
As McGregor himself says in the Star Wars Celebration interview, Daniel Logan was only "wee" when he played Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones, yet he played the role brilliantly. Boba Fett was a massive role to take on, as he had been one of the most popular characters in the original Star Wars trilogy. This was also Boba Fett's first (chronological) appearance, so, like many moments in the prequels, there was plenty of import.
At just 13, though, Logan delivered with his performance of the character. While it may have been in a rather unusual way, Ewan McGregor clearly helped Logan bring this character to life in a new Star Wars era with his humorous suggestion. However shocking it may be, this Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones scene 'works' because of Ewan McGregor's advice about a fart.
