As it turns out, asking Ewan McGregor about reprising the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in a Star Wars spinoff is basically like a very public version of Bloody Mary — say it enough times and it’ll appear.
First introduced in the original Star Wars trilogy and portrayed by Alec Guinness, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a wise, older Jedi and mentor to Luke Skywalker.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie is officially in the early stages of development at the studio.
The potential Star Wars spinoff does not yet have a script, and it’s unclear if Ewan McGregor will return — though it seems crazy to make this movie without him at this point.
