Following the success of the Obi-Wan TV show, Ewan McGregor expressed his desire to continue portraying the iconic character. In a recent interview, McGregor discussed his belief that there are still more Obi-Wan stories to be told. He mentioned the gap between the end of the series and when Alec Guinness appears on screen with Luke Skywalker as a potential opportunity for further exploration.
Hayden Christensen, who played Darth Vader alongside McGregor in the TV show, also expressed his enthusiasm for potentially returning to the Star Wars universe. He highlighted the opportunity to collaborate with McGregor once again as a major incentive. Christensen praised McGregor’s portrayal of Obi-Wan, stating that he is a fan of his work on the character.
While McGregor has voiced his hopes for a second season of the Obi-Wan TV show, the future of the project remains uncertain. Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy stated that Obi-Wan Season 2 was not actively in development in 2023. Despite this, she acknowledged the possibility of McGregor’s return to the role, noting his strong desire to continue the story.
Before the Obi-Wan TV show, McGregor portrayed a young Obi-Wan in the Star Wars prequel films, following in the footsteps of Alec Guinness. While the potential for Obi-Wan Season 2 is still up in the air, fans can look forward to the return of another beloved Star Wars series, Andor, in 2025. Additionally, there are multiple Star Wars movies in development, including one that features Daisy Ridley reprising her role as Rey.
Overall, the future of Ewan McGregor’s involvement in the Star Wars franchise as Obi-Wan Kenobi remains uncertain yet hopeful. With both McGregor and Christensen expressing their desire to continue exploring the character, fans may have more Obi-Wan stories to look forward to in the future. Regardless of the outcome, McGregor’s legacy as Obi-Wan will continue to resonate with audiences for years to come.
