In the epic space saga, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, Ewan McGregor portrays Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Master on a mission to find an assassin. Little did he know, he was about to encounter a dangerous and unexpected obstacle. During the intense fight scene with Jango Fett, McGregor's stunt double, Nash Edgerton, suffered a major injury. But here's where it gets controversial... Nash Edgerton, known for his extensive stunt work and directing skills, broke his teeth while performing a backflip during the filming. And this is the part most people miss... The incident occurred in front of Edgerton's mother, who was visiting the set that day. While McGregor was fortunate to have an experienced stunt performer like Edgerton, the injury was a shocking and embarrassing moment for both of them. But the good news is, Edgerton made a full recovery, and his teeth are now very lovely. And this is the part most people miss... The Academy Awards will finally honor stunt performers in 2028, and Edgerton would have certainly been nominated had the category existed in 2002. So, the next time you watch Star Wars, remember the hard work and dedication of stunt performers like Nash Edgerton.
