Ewan McGregor talks Obi-Wan Kenobi's future in Star Wars franchise

Ewan McGregor spilled beans on whether he would return to the Star Wars universe as the iconic Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Deadline reported on Sunday, March 31, that the actor expressed his interest in reprising his role in any future instalments following the completion of filming for season one of the Disney+ series.

In a recent interview with LADbible, the Scottish actor admitted to misleading fans to keep the stand-alone series on his character under wraps. However, this time, he claimed to really have no knowledge of any future projects.

"The truth is I’ve talked about having to cover for doing the Obi-Wan season for years, I had to lie about that, and I’m not lying about this now," he implied.

"I don’t know. There’s been no phone call to me from Lucasfilm or Disney saying, "Let’s do another one,'" as of now, sending any expectations down the drain, he added.

"Obi-Wan was made as a limited series and it’s out and people like it, which I’m very, very pleased about," McGregor continued.

"I hope we get a chance to do another one and I’m sure we will," the actor said with high hopes despite the absence of updates regarding another season.

Currently, the actor is engulfed in promoting his most recent series, A Gentleman in Moscow.
