Disney’s Next Big ‘Star Wars’ Story Could Bring Back One of Its Most Legendary Characters
Ewan McGregor has said he would like to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, arguing there are still ten years of the character’s life to explore between the Disney+ series and *A New Hope*. The comments have renewed speculation about a second season or another project, though no continuation has been confirmed by Disney; it matters because the franchise is considering how heavily to rely on established characters amid an uncertain future.
*Obi-Wan Kenobi* premiered in 2022 and was highly anticipated, expanding the Jedi’s story and his relationship with Darth Vader. The article suggests that a potential continuation could draw on Obi-Wan’s isolated years on Tatooine, including his canon encounter with Darth Maul from *Star Wars Rebels*, while noting Disney has generally avoided adapting older novels and comics directly. McGregor appeared in the animated *Maul — Shadow Lord*, whose second season is reportedly in development, but this does not guarantee an Obi-Wan project.
- McGregor wants to play Obi-Wan Kenobi again.
- No Disney sequel or follow-up has been confirmed.
- A Darth Maul storyline could offer a possible direction.
