Ewan McGregor on Obi-Wan Kenobi Series and the Possibility of More Seasons

With director Deborah Chow’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series arriving on Disney this week, I got to speak with Ewan McGregor about returning to the Star Wars universe. If you’ve been reading Collider for a long time, you might remember back in March of 2016, I asked McGregor if he was interested in playing Obi-Wan Kenobi again. When I brought it up, I was thinking it would be a movie, since Disney didn’t exist. He told me: “I’d very much like to do one too. I think the story between Episode III and Episode IV, I think there’s a story there. I think that’s the Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, if there is one. The one that bridges my Obi-Wan Kenobi and Alec’s Obi-Wan Kenobi because there’s a—I don’t know how long he’s in the desert there, but it’s got to be twenty or thirty years.” When I asked him if he’d met with Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy, McGregor replied: “I’m not sure I’m at liberty to say, really, but I’m very interested in doing that. That would be great. Maybe there’s even a trilogy!
