Kenobi actor, Ewan McGregor, first portrayed the iconic Jedi Master in 1999, when The Phantom Menace released in theaters. Now, a new image of McGregor has gone viral, and his appearance is raising some eyebrows.
The photo, shared on Facebook by Tony Horton, features McGregor in gym gear, sporting what many consider to be the iconic Kenobi beard and participating in P90X training. "Kenpo X finished off the first week of the Scotty Fifer Fitness Fandango. Not too late for you to join us for some classic P90X with Fifer and friends. Bring It," the caption on the picture said.
Ever since the return to the franchise and the announcement of different spin-off stories, fans have been asking for McGregor to reprise his role, and to perhaps even have his own movie. However, even with the announcement of talks with Stephen Daldry to direct, nothing else has been confirmed. McGregor has previously stated that he would "love" to return to the franchise. "Listen, I have been asked about it a lot, to the point where it looks a bit like I'm sort of touting for work. I've been very open to say I'd be happy to do it, if they want to do it" McGregor said.
The film is rumored to begin production in 2019, with its release in 2020. It is currently under the production name of Joshua Tree. Read our previous article on the announcement here.
