Ewan McGregor Has Pitched a Star Wars Return Where Obi-Wan Kenobi Hunts for Yoda
Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Ewan McGregor has pitched a new Star Wars story idea for his legendary Jedi.
Actor Ewan McGregor, best known for his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, has expressed his desire to return to the character in a new Star Wars story. In an interview with Variety, McGregor revealed that he personally pitched the idea to Lucasfilm president and chief creative officer Dave Filoni. The proposed tale involves Obi-Wan Kenobi searching for Yoda, who went into hiding after the events of Episode 3 and eventually settled on Dagobah.
McGregor expressed his excitement about the idea, stating that there must be something there for a story. The last time viewers saw McGregor's Kenobi, he was settling down in a cave on Tatooine, preparing to hand over his legacy to the Force ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn and an eventual handover to Alec Guinness. However, it seems unlikely that Filoni will take up McGregor's suggestion, as there are no current plans for further Star Wars live-action Disney+ series.
McGregor also shared his excitement about Mary Elizabeth Winstead's work on Ahsoka, but acknowledged that the characters are now in different time frames, and they won't have a romance.
