Actor Joseph Fiennes was almost cast as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 'Star Wars' prequels.
Fiennes revealed he auditioned for the iconic role in front of franchise creator George Lucas.
Fiennes claims the role ultimately went to Ewan McGregor because George's daughter thought Joseph was "weird."
Had he gotten the role, Fiennes would have starred in 'The Phantom Menace', 'Attack of the Clones' and 'Revenge of the Sith'.
There are rumors that a stand alone Obi-Wan film is in development.
