Ewan McGregor Is Hoping For A Two-Part Obi-Wan Kenobi STAR WARS ANTHOLOGY Movie

Rogue One? Han Solo? Those are all well and good, but what Star Wars fans really want is a spinoff revolving around Obi-Wan Kenobi. As it turns out, Ewan McGregor has a pretty unique idea for that...

Once again, Ewan McGregor has made it clear that he's hoping to reprise the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi on the big screen, and we're once again forced to wonder why Disney and Lucasfilm haven't made it a reality! Talking to Premiere (via Den of Geek), the actor suggested that the character should be given a two-part Star Wars Anthology movie focusing on his time between the prequels and original trilogy. 

"It would be fun to film that story now [that] I'm older," he said of catching up to the age that Obi-Wan was when we met him in A New Hope. "I’d be the right age. I’m forty-five, Alec Guinness was what, sixty? I could do two of them!" As for how he would live to see this play out, McGregor added: "I hope that they’re going to explore different genres under the Star Wars banner. And one of those could be an Obi-Wan Kenobi feature film. Or two! The Obi-Wan Kenobi Story Part 1 and Part 2!"
 
Disney must realise just how much of a demand there is for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, but the actor went on to confirm that nobody at the studio has spoken to him about making it a reality just yet. Whether or not it will ever happen remains to be seen, but with the studio planning to release Anthology movies every other year, you have to believe it could happen somewhere down the line.

Obi-Wan is my favorite Star Wars character ever!!!!! I really wished the movie would revolve around Obi-Wan and Darth Maul ending there feud....Unfornately because of Rebels...That ain't happening.

@KiLLeR939210 - It could work, he was in the desert for 20 years! You'd think some interesting stuff happened! It could be this very deep charácter study. Plus the new disney canon has an Obi Wan series and it's really great! Because it feels small and personal, and you ser he's willingness to give all for young Luke, and that means standing against Jabba! It's got so much potential man!

I mean, I prefer this idea over a Han Solo prequel, Rogue One and a Boba Fett movie, but man, this films telling the stories of throwaway lines, or characters from the old trilogy feel... tedious?

I mean, come on. Show what it was like far before the Phantom Menace. You don't have the EU anymore, make a new Old Republic! Show the founding of the Jedi order! Mandalorian culture? I don't know, just something new!
