Will Ewan McGregor Return As "Obi-Wan Kenobi" In Possible Kenobi Trilogy?

By: Justin Marsh

Since the creator of Star Wars, George Lucas, Sold Lucasfilm back in 2012 to Disney and announced they were expanding the Star Wars universe beyond anything we’ve ever seen, there has been a very long ongoing line of rumors, theories, spoilers, and speculation about what we might see in the future of the Star Wars trilogy. But one that has been on fans mind for the longest time ever since we got the news Star Wars is expanding, is a possible spin off film based on Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Ewan McGregor is reportedly in talks with Disney for an unknown project, but according to Schmoes Know’s sources, the discussions are specifically about him reprising his role as the infamous Jedi Knight. Now please bear in mind that this is not in ANY ways confirmed or carved in stone as of yet by Lucasfilm or Disney...But it's fun to think about.

And now, according to this source, Disney has been courting Ewan McGregor “not to be a force ghost, but for a post-Episode III Kenobi.”  They also added that they’ve heard from multiple people that Disney wants an Obi-Wan Kenobi TRILOGY of films, outside of the Anthology series. This adds some credence to a past story found at Cinelinx who had previously reported the same rumor.

There is definitely a lot of ground that could be explored, and many stories that fall into this general time frame. Of course, deals will have to be made; stories will have to be written. A lot could go wrong before it goes right. So for now, this is speculation on the sources’part.
