Listen To Yoda, Obi-Wan, Luke, Darth Vader & Palpatine In Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Listen to the secret dialogue in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Rey flashback scene.

We already knew the scene featured Yoda and Obi-Wan (voiced by both Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor), but apparently it features Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, the breathing of Darth Vader and Palpatine as well.

The Mike Zeroh YouTube channel put the video together, which first plays what we hear in the movie, and then later amplifies the sound so it can be heard a lot clearer. Cool video.

If you didn’t know, yes, Ewan McGregor was in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

McGregor reprised as the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi in Rey’s Force dream along with a snippet of Alec Guinness’ voice.

“Rey, these are your first steps,” was the line from the movie featuring the actors’ voices. 

Guinness voiced the word “Rey,” which was taken from a word the actor previously said with “afraid.” Ewan McGregor voiced the rest.

Yoda’s voice was also featured.

Obi-Wan Kenobi & Yoda Are In Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23410:]]

I totally missed this when I first saw the movie, but Star Wars: The Force Awakens featured both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda.

Director J.J. Abrams confirmed the use of the two Jedi Masters as their voices were featured in the Rey lightsaber vision scene. Frank Oz spoke as Yoda, and they used both Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor for Obi-Wan.

“The idea of the voices was, we wanted the audience to feel – but not necessarily be presented right in your face — this idea that familiar, Force-strong voices were connecting with her. At least as well as they could,” Abrams told EW.com“You do hear a little bit of Yoda. You hear Luke yelling out, ‘Nooo!’ from that moment in Empire. And you hear Obi-Wan at the end say, ‘Rey … these are your first steps.’ Here’s the cool part. We asked Ewan McGregor to come in and do the line. And he was awesome and we were very grateful. He was incredibly sweet and handsome, and all that stuff. Then he rode off on his motorcycle. Literally the coolest voice over actor ever.”

Regarding the use of Alec Guinness’ voice, it’s revealed that Bryan Burk, producer on The Force Awakens, surprised Abrams with Obi-Wan Kenobi’s voice saying the name “Rey …”

“I said, ‘That’s cool, is that the thing from Ewan McGregor?’” Abrams said. “He said ‘No, we took a line from Alec Guinness saying ‘Afraid.’ 

“They cut it, and you hear the performance – he’s saying it the way I would have begged Alec Guinness to have said it. It is so crazy perfect,” Abrams explained.  “So when you hear Obi-Wan talk to Rey it is both Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor doing the voice.”

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.

Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20847:]]

It’s once again being said that Disney may be going with a Star Wars spinoff featuring Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, which may even feature Darth Maul.

Back in March of 2013, we first revealed possible details that Disney was considering a Star Wars spinoff with McGregor and Maul.

We were told it could be set between Star Wars Episode III and Episode IV featuring Ewan McGregor reprising the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in his exile on Tatooine, with the villain being Darth Maul who hunts down his nemesis with a possible plot point involving a young Luke Skywalker somehow tied into the story possibly as bait for Obi-Wan.

Now over two years later, Shmoes Know is reporting pretty much the same thing.

A source is theirs is stating conversations are taking place behind close doors that McGregor wil once again “transform into the venerable Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi” – not as a “force ghost, but for a post-Episode III Kenobi.” 

It’s also aid Disney wants an Obi-Wan Kenobi trilogy of films, which would be outside the new anthology spinoffs.

Regarding the possible plot of the Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, according to the source the: “film (or films) would focus on Obi-Wan’s adventures between the two trilogies as he watches over a maturing Luke Skywalker. The film(s) would be standalone adventure(s), with the possibility of characters like Owen Lars and Darth Maul appearing.”
