Speaking during a segment on Eddie Izzard’s charity marathon stream, Ewan McGregor spoke about the upcoming Kenobi series saying “It’ll just be great to [play Obi-Wan] again”, and he shared that shooting would start in the late Spring, in LA.
“It’ll just be great to [play Obi-Wan] again,” he said. “I did my last one in 2003, and it’s such a long time ago. The idea of doing it again is more exciting even than it was then, I think. I’m thrilled to get a chance to play him again.”
McGregor also pointed towards the leaps in technology from filming the prequels in green screen to making use of The Mandalorian’s Stagecraft technology as another reason for him to look forward to the project.
“It’ll be interesting to do. Probably not so much blue screen and green screen, which I always find quite tedious to spend week after week in a blue environment or a green environment. But this should certainly be much more interesting for us.”
“We start making it in the late Spring, and we’re going to be shooting it here in L.A. It’s so funny, every week there’s a new report… we were meant to be making it in Boston, but we’re not, we’re shooting it in L.A.,” he explained.
