Ewan McGregor Open To Returning As 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' In STAR WARS EPISODE VII

Arguably the star of George Lucas' unpopular prequels, Ewan McGregor has finally revealed whether he would be willing to reprise the role of 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' in Disney's (and Matthew Vaughn's?) Star Wars Episode VII. Check it out after the jump!

We've heard from a lot of actors who starred in both the prequels and original Star Wars trilogy about whether or not they would be willing to reprise their roles in Disney's "Episode VII", but Digital Spy recently caught up with Ewan McGregor to see if he would be interested in bringing 'Obi Wan Kenobi' back to the big screen. As it happens, he would, although how this would work when "Episode VII" will presumably be set long after the death of Kenobi is another thing altogether. While Alec Guinness portrayed the character in the original trilogy, the fact that he passed away in 2000 obviously means he can't return as a ghost. It wouldn't make an awful lot of sense for his ghost to suddenly become younger and it could in fact be argued that there is really no need to bring the character back in any form! What do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below.
