'Star Wars' latest news: Ewan McGregor Returns as Obi-Wan for Disney+

A return of a Jedi is happening for real!

Fans who think that Obi-Wan Kenobi deserves a series of his own might be getting their demands answered soon.

Scottish actor Ewan McGregor is currently in talks to reprise his role as the Jedi knight in an Obi-Wan solo series for the Disney Plus platform, Variety reported.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a well-known character in the sci-fi galaxy series as a Jedi knight who is a mentor to Luke Skywalker and a friend to Luke’s father, Anakin.

McGregor has portrayed the character in three films of the prequel era: “The Phantom Menace” (1999), “Attach of the Clones” (2002) and “Revenge of the Sith” (2005). In “The Force Awakens” in 2015, McGregor also made a cameo by voicing the same character. Actor Alec Guinness played the older version of the role in the original trilogy.

No other details about the untitled Obi-Wan series have been revealed.

Excited fans have already been chiming in on Twitter about what they expect for the story.

“I'd like to see a story that bridges the gap between SOLO and A NEW HOPE, perhaps showing Kenobi taking on Crimson Dawn,” said Twitter user @jmillhouse, referring to Star Wars films "Solo" and "A New Hope".

Meanwhile, another use wanted an adaptation of the “Kenobi” novel.

“Kenobi” is a 2013 novel written by John Jackson Miller that depicts the early days of Obi-Wan’s exile on Tattoine. The novel, set between “Revenge of the Sith” and “A New Hope”, received a warm reception and hit the New York Times bestseller list.

Twitter user @bekahjlee desired a happy ending for the Jedi knight saying that the character had already suffered enough from previous storylines.

While the upcoming solo series is yet to have a release date on Disney Plus, other movies on the “Star Wars” franchise and Disney blockbusters will be available by December 11.

Disney Plus is a soon-to-launch subscription streaming service for Disney’s original shows and acquired franchises including Marvel films and Pixar animations.

The service will cost around 7 dollars a month, a greatly discounted price compared to competitors like Netflix and HBO. It will also offer a bundled streaming option with Hulu and ESPN.

Disney Plus is launching on November 12 with the much-awaited live-action “Star Wars” series, “The Mandalorian”, starring Pedro Pascal. The second season of the series is already in the works.

A prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is also set for release in 2021 in the streaming platform starring Diego Luna.
