Ewan McGregor urges Disney for Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2

Ewan McGregor is publicly urging Disney to produce a second season of the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series, stating he is ready to reprise the role but the studio has not yet moved forward with plans. The actor made his case during recent press interviews, expressing a desire to explore the untold decade of the Jedi's life between the events of his 2022 Disney+ series and the original 1977 film.

McGregor, who debuted as Obi-Wan Kenobi in 1999's "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace," told E! News during the press tour for his upcoming film "The End of Oak Street" that he is eager to continue the story. "I'm ready whenever they are," McGregor said. "They just seem to not be ready, but I'm up for it." He outlined the narrative gap he wishes to fill, noting that his series ended with Obi-Wan walking off into the desert with the Force ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn, while the next time audiences see the character, he is living as an older hermit played by Alec Guinness. "What happens between those two moments is what I want to do and spend the rest of my career doing these stories," McGregor stated, adding he has about ten years before he reaches Guinness's age in "A New Hope."
