Ewan McGregor Would Be Happy To Return To The World Of STAR WARS
Easily one of the highlights of the Star Wars prequels, Ewan McGregor recently talked about how much he was looking forward to The Force Awakens. He also revealed that he would be happy to return to the franchise as 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'. Read on for more!
Arguably the strongest part of the much-maligned Star Wars prequel movies was Ewan McGregor's turn as fan favorite Jedi Master, 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'. Ahead of the franchise's return to theatres with The Force Awakens this December, The Daily Record quizzed McGregor about how he felt about the new film. "I'm excited as everyone else and am looking forward it seeing it," the Scottish actor revealed, "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."
Despite his early optimism, he did have one minor qualm - specifically regarding incoming Sith Lord Kylo Ren's weapon. "I'm not sure about the hilt on the lightsaber," he noted, "If you fight with a lightsaber properly you don't need one." It seems even the new lightsabers wont be enough to drive him away though, revealing that he would be "happy to do the story from episodes three where [he] finished up and Alec Guinness started."
Would you like to see McGregor reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi? If so, where do you think he fits in this new Star Wars expanded universe? Could he appear as a 'force ghost' in the main series, or perhaps lead his own spin-off Star Wars Anthology movie? One other option could be a small part in Gareth Edwards' upcoming Rogue One, which is set at some point between Episodes III & IV. As usual, be sure to leave your ideas in the comments below!
