Ewan McGregor has said he remains keen to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, but suggested Disney has not yet chosen to continue the character’s story. His comments renew speculation about further projects following the 2022 Obi-Wan Kenobi series, which left a substantial period of the character’s life unexplored.

McGregor said he was “ready whenever they are” and wants to explore Obi-Wan’s journey after leaving Luke Skywalker with Owen and Beru Lars, before the character becomes the older version played by Alec Guinness. He estimated that he has around 10 years before reaching Guinness’s age when filming the original Star Wars, and said the story could be told through either series or films.
