Don't worry 'Star Wars' fans, Ewan McGregor also thinks that crossguard lightsaber is stupid




Save us from that crossguard lightsaber Ewan, you're our only hope.

Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequels, finally entered the crossguard lightsaber debate (you're only seven months late Ewan!) to give the groundbreaking revelation that he's not a fan of it either.

McGregor discussed the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens while promoting his movie Last Days in the Desert at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. When asked about the controversial crossguard lightsaber, he said:
"I’m not sure about the hilt on the lightsaber. If you fight with a lightsaber properly you don’t need one."
Well there you have it folks. Obi-Wan said so, so it must be true. And we at least know that McGregor knows how to properly handle a lightsaber, on and offscreen.
