When Ewan McGregor first played a lightsaber-wielding Jedi hero in the much-maligned "Star Wars" prequel trilogy, he didn't feel much love from the fans.

As a result, McGregor and Hayden Christensen -- who played Anakin Skywalker -- are back for a six-episode limited series, set in between the events of the prequel trilogy and the original "Star Wars."
