Someone Apparently Paid $3,000 For Ewan McGregor's Star Wars Rattail

Remember the Star Wars prequels? You know, the infamous Star Wars prequels that started it allit, of course, being all the toxic fanboy culture , complaining, and oh another council scene, how boring; c'mon, the prequels weren't really all that bad. They gave us Darth Maul, and infinite angsty Anakin memes. And most importantly, they gave us Ewan McGregor as young Obi-Wan. They gave us Ewan McGregor as young Obi-Wan, goddamnit. Not bad at all.

Apparently, fans share that Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan passion, and his Padawan braid (read: clip-on rattail) went to auction last month, selling at 1,400 (about $1,700, though many reported the sale at $3,000.)

Last night on A Little Late with Lilly Singh, McGregor was asked what he thought about the sale .

"I'm mortified because a) it's not hair that I grew; it was stuck on every day. And b) it was stuck on every day, a different one. It wasn't this one," he said.

McGregor explained they had shot the film over the course of four months, and that each day he would be outfitted with a different rattail. "There's a whole bank of them somewhere," he went on. "Some guy paid three grande for something that's not really that special." Ouch.

McGregor will be reprising his not-very-specially braided character in an upcoming Disney + series. No release date has been announced and the project is not yet titled. But it's happening! And since Obi-Wan has aged and is no longer a Jedi in training (We saw how grizzled he had become by Revenge of the Sith, even!), there won't be any worthless rattails to auction off. Too bad!
