Ewan McGregor's uncle played the only rebel pilot to survive both Death Stars!
Denis Lawson is a Scottish actor and director. While most of his work has been in BBC shows, he shares a rare honor: he played the only rebel pilot in the original Star Wars trilogy that managed to survive both attacks on the Death Star.
Perhaps by fate or coincidence, the actor who played Wedge Antilles is also related to the great Obi-Wan Kenobi. Lawson's sister, Carol Diane McGregor is the mother of Ewan McGregor, who played the iconic role in the three Star Wars prequels. Who knows, maybe another member of the family might make an appearance in the new trilogy?
