Ewan McGregor’s brother Colin McGregor – who served as a Royal Air Force (RAF) pilot in the UK – is said to have a very peculiar code name. Despite retiring in 2007 after a 20-year career, Colin McGregor is said to have used the name of the coolest aviator in the galaxy when he was in the military, a nickname linked to the iconic role of the Jedi Knight that his younger brother played. In Star Wars prequels, from The Phantom Menace (1999) to Revenge of the Sith (2005), then again in his own series, Obi-Wan Kenobi in 2022.
did you guess Code name: “Obi-Two”, please! After all, there can only be one “Obi-Wan/One”. Shared all over the web, we only ask that the rumors be true!
Colin McGregor, in any case, seems to use Obi-Two to refer to himself (particularly on Twitter, as in the examples below): whether he did it officially in the military or just unofficially for fun, the code name remains perfect.
“I didn’t catch your phrase @mcgregor_ewan, I’ll have to go back! #Obi-Wan from #Obi-Or“
“Good morning ! #ObiWan #ObiTwo“
The McGregor brothers also discussed their passion for the Royal Air Force in the documentary At RAF 100 with Evan and Colin McGregor in 2018. Together they will celebrate the RAF’s centenary there by telling its story, flying aircraft from the First World War to the present day and meeting veterans.
