While it doesn’t sound like he’s being approached for it, Ewan McGregor says he’s intrigued by a rumour that’s doing the rounds suggesting he’ll return as Obi-Wan Kenobi (from the “Star Wars” prequels) for a new standalone series of films to fix on the pre-Hermit life of the Jedi icon.
“I’d be happy to do the story from episodes three where I finish up and Alec Guinness starts”, the actor said at the Edinburgh film Fest at the Lyceum Theatre (via The Daily Record).
Meantime, he’s looking forward to seeing JJ Abrams’ “Star Wars : The Force Awakens” this Chrissy.
“I’m excited as everyone else and am looking forward it seeing it. It’s not a fanatical thing. I’m really pleased I’m part of the legacy of it and happy to see it and I’ve seen the trailer and it looks like they’ve absolutely nailed it.”
In addition to the whispered Obi-Wan series, McGregor’s also keen on doing the oft-rumoured “Trainspotting” sequel.
