“I don’t know how it finds me. It’s always a bit of an eyeopener.”

The illustrations tend to evoke a strong emotion within the 51-year-old actor.

“You open the envelope, you think you’re going to have to sign something, and you’re like, ‘F***ing hell!'” McGregor said.

McGregor and Christensen are reprising their characters from the prequel trilogy in the Disney+ series.

“I feel like I’m coming back now because of the fan base and because there is all of this incredible support now and love for the character,” Christensen said.
