RUMOR: OBI-WAN KENOBI Trilogy In The Works Starring Ewan McGregor...And 'Darth Maul'?!
This rumour isn't really anything new, but another site has weighed in on previous reports that a trilogy of Obi-Wan Kenobi movies is in the works, including Ewan McGregor's involvement, and which other characters might appear. We've got two words for you: Darth Maul! Check it out...
Take this with a huge pinch of salt for the time being, but Schmoes Know are reporting that Disney is in talks with Ewan McGregor to return as Obi Wan Kenobi in what might be a trilogy of Star Wars Anthology movies. Apparently, they're talking to him "not to be a force ghost, but for a post-Episode III Kenobi," and their source adds that they do indeed want a series focusing on him.
It's not clear what direction these would take, but they add that "the film (or films) would focus on Obi-Wan’s adventures between the two trilogies as he watches over a maturing Luke Skywalker. The film(s) would be standalone adventure(s), with the possibility of characters like Owen Lars and Darth Maul appearing." A rematch between Obi-Wan and Darth Maul would obviously be quite something to see on the big screen, and it's fair to say that McGregor was one of the only good things about the Star Wars prequels, so it's hard to complain about this idea! Thoughts?
