There were some rumours earlier this month that Disney and LucasFilm were not only planning a new movie based around Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, but an entire trilogy. While we’ve got no official confirmation on these rumours (though they seem unlikely), McGregor at least seems open to the idea.
“I’d be happy to do the story from episode three where I finish up and Alec Guinness started,” he said at the Edinburgh International Film Festival while promoting his new film The Last Days In The Desert. “It’s not a fanatical thing”, he added. “I’m really pleased I’m part of the legacy of it and happy to see it, and I’ve seen the trailer [for Star Wars: The Force Awakens] and it looks like they’ve absolutely nailed it”.

Disney do have plans for more Star Wars movies, as evident by the new trilogy of spin-off movies kicking off with Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One, so there is always a chance we could see McGregor reprise the role. Would you like to see him grow back the beard for another run around as Obi-Wan Kenobi?
