Ewan McGregor is Ready to Play Obi-Wan Kenobi for the Rest of His Career
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Ewan McGregor has reaffirmed his desire to play Obi-Wan Kenobi for the rest of his career, though he notes that Disney has not yet greenlit further stories.
Ewan McGregor is making it abundantly clear that his time in the Star Wars universe is far from finished. In a recent interview with E! News reported by IGN South Africa, the actor doubled down on his desire to keep wielding a lightsaber. He stated that he wants to spend the rest of his career playing Obi-Wan Kenobi if given the chance. McGregor has previously pointed out that there is a massive window of untold stories waiting in the timeline between the prequel trilogy and A New Hope, leaving plenty of room for future projects.
Despite the actor showing immense enthusiasm and a clear readiness to jump back into the role, the ball remains entirely in Disney's court. McGregor noted that while he is raring to go, the studio has not yet given the green light for a continuation. Fans who connected with his return in the Disney+ limited series have been vocal about wanting more, especially given how much narrative potential exists during the Jedi Master's exile on Tatooine.
For a modern gaming and entertainment community that tracks franchises across movies, TV, and interactive adaptations like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the ongoing saga of actor availability versus studio strategy is a familiar rhythm. Whether this renewed public push eventually leads to a second season of his solo series or a surprise crossover appearance in another corner of the franchise, McGregor remains deeply invested in the character. For now, players and viewers can only wait to see if Disney decides to answer the call.
