Ewan, Meet Obi-Wan: A 'Star Wars' Prequels Rewind

When George Lucas initially announced he would indeed move forward with a prequel trilogy to his beloved Star Wars saga, most fans rejoiced -- then a legion cringed after experiencing the likes of Jar Jar Binks in 1999's awkwardly titled Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace.

But there was no denying that the excitement surrounding an all-new Star Wars trilogy was more powerful than ever, and ET was there to go in-depth with the heroes of The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
