Ewan McGregor Wants More Obi-Wan Kenobi - Are You Listening, Disney?

Ewan McGregor reflected on his 25-year Star Wars journey as Obi-Wan Kenobi and shared his hope that there are still more adventures to come.

McGregor spoke with Variety in a career retrospective and reflected on his journey in the George Lucas franchise, joined by co-star Hayden Christensen, who played both Anakin Skywalker and his alter ego, Darth Vader, across the latter two prequel films and the Disney+ series. As far as how McGregor started his franchise journey, his initial observation was how far along visual effects have come since Lucas stepped back into directing with the first three episodes, "It's always the same responsibility, to be believable in this character, in this story," he says. Christensen, who will present McGregor with the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, not only played Obi-Wan's apprentice on-screen but also took the opportunity to embrace a chance to bond, learn, and make a life-long friend, "The first time I met Ewan was in Australia," he said.
