In a new conversation with Hayden Christensen on the Disney Studio Awards website, Ewan McGregor has shared that he hopes to play Obi-Wan again, and that he’d like to work with Hayden again too.
Despite being billed as a one-season limited series, McGregor is hopeful there could be an Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2.
“I was so happy to do it again, and so happy to work with Hayden again,” McGregor said during a virtual conversation on the Disney Studios Awards website. “I hope we get the chance to do it again.”
For McGregor, who had made voice-only cameos as the character in the almost two decades since Revenge of the Sith, the series presented an opportunity to tell a story the actor had envisioned since 2005.
“In the old days, I would joke about, ‘There must be a good story to tell between Episode III and VI.’ But, it’s true. I always felt that there was,” McGregor said. “I feel like [series director] Deborah Chow found it and absolutely nailed it … just found the story that we wanted to see between the last one that we did and first that was done in [1977].”
McGregor added the Obi-Wan Kenobi series “adds to our knowledge of the characters, and it’s satisfying … for the fans.”
Watch Ewan and Hayden in the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series available exclusively on Disney+.
