Ewan McGregor has drawn attention to the fact that a significant stretch of Obi-Wan Kenobi's story remains untold on screen, despite the character's return in Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series. The comments reignite speculation about further Star Wars projects exploring the Jedi Master's years in hiding on Tatooine before the events of the original 1977 film, and underline the character's enduring appeal to both fans and the actor himself.

The 2022 Obi-Wan Kenobi series covered only part of the character's exile following the prequel trilogy, leaving a substantial gap before he appears as an old hermit in A New Hope. McGregor's remarks suggest he remains open to revisiting the role, feeding ongoing fan hopes that Lucasfilm could commission further instalments to bridge this period, though no concrete plans have been confirmed.
