We are exactly one month away from the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobithe series most anticipated by fans of starwars. Although we already know a good amount of details of the production, there is still a question pending to be resolved: Will this be Ewan McGregor’s last appearance as the legendary Jedi? Fortunately, the actor broached the subject.
In an interview with TotalFilm, Ewan McGregor said he was ready to reprise the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi after the series of Disney Plus. “If we had the opportunity to do it again, I would be totally up for it. Here I go again [dijo en tono de broma]. It’s like knocking on Disney’s door again!” she commented.
For now, yes, He did not advance if there is another production that contemplates his participation as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Considering the secrecy with which Lucasfilm is handled, it should not surprise us that the actor has not yet been informed about the future plans of his character. The other option is that he is simply forbidden to comment on it.
Date of high in Disney Plus now and save thanks to the annual subscriptionwith which you can enjoy its entire catalog of series and movies, access to the latest releasesto the catalog of Star and to the best National Geographic documentaries.
In relation to stepping at Obi-Wan Kenobi’s feet after the prequel trilogy, he stated that enjoyed his recent participation more. In addition, he noticed significant changes in the way of filming, especially due to the innovative technology that currently exists. We must not forget that Obi-Wan Kenobilike The Mandalorian Y Thor: Love & Thunderleaned on Stagecraft, the impressive recording set of Industrial Light & Magic (owned by Lucasfilm).
“It was nice to come back and bridge the gap between Alec Guinness [el primer Obi-Wan Kenobi] and me. I got as much, if not more, playing him this time than I did in the first three movies combined. That has to do with the script, with the people we were making the series with, with the technology and how different everything is.”
The future of Obi-Wan Kenobi
Being honest, it would be a waste to sign Ewan McGregor just to star in a series made up of just 6 episodes. Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of the most beloved characters in starwars, still has many stories to tell. Between the fall of the Jedi Order in Revenge of the Sith and the events of A new hope there is a wide period of time with a lot of narrative opportunity.
Just Obi-Wan Kenobi will explore how the Jedi Master escapes the Empire’s hunt. In Revenge of the SithDarth Sidious executed the Order 66 to exterminate all Jedi Knights in the galaxy; but some, including Obi-Wan, managed to survive. This caused the Sith to create the Order of the Inquisitors, a group made up of elite assassins – some former Jedi – to eliminate the survivors. Darth Vader, who will also appear in the series thanks to the signing of Hayden Christensen, is its main leader.
Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere with two episodes next may 27th exclusively in Disney Plus. In its cast we find Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.
