Young Boba Fett reveals what it was like working with Ewan McGregor – Exclusive

However, Logan’s favorite Ewan McGregor story comes from near the end of his time on Attack of the Clones. On set, the cast and crew used golf carts to get around the Fox lot in Sydney, Australia, where much of the movie was filmed. Occasionally, Logan got to drive.

“I’d go back and forth in the golf carts and drive people wherever they wanted to go,” Logan says. “If you were, say, a prop builder, I’d take you to the workshop. Anywhere.” McGregor and Logan even removed a governor in order to make the golf carts go faster. “Anytime I had an excuse to drive this golf cart, I would try.”

He loved it, but the fun didn’t last. One day, Logan says, “Ewan comes flying down the driveway, slams on the breaks, and then stops sideways. And as a 13-year-old kid, you’re like, ‘That’s the coolest!'” McGregor got out of the cart and motioned for Logan to get in the driver’s seat, but the actor never got his chance. Just then, a woman emerged from a nearby building, shouting at them to stop.

“Due to legal fees, or insurance reasons, or whatever, I couldn’t be driving the golf cart,” Logan says. “For the rest of my time on set, which was only maybe a month anyways, I was no longer allowed to drive this golf cart. I was allowed to be driven in it, but I wasn’t allowed to drive it. So, I would pout. And Ewan realized this.”

Over the next month or so, Logan finished up his work on Attack of the Clones. After his final scene wrapped, the cast and crew gave him a big goodbye. That’s when McGregor made his move. “Ewan came up to me, and he’s like, ‘Hey so what time do you leave tomorrow?’ And I think I left about eight or nine o’clock, so he told me to meet him at the studio around six o’clock.”

Logan showed up at the designated time. “And there he was, in the pitch black, in front of the studio with the lights on, and the golf cart, waiting for me,” Logan says. Because Logan was done filming, he wasn’t technically part of the cast any more — and that meant he could get back behind the wheel. “So Obi-Wan and Boba Fett drove around the backlot of Fox Studios for about an hour.” That’s a pretty sweet coda to a life-changing adventure, and from the sound of things, Logan won’t ever forget it.
