Another late reveal happened last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live when Ewan McGregor showed off his new The Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi (Wandering Jedi) “doll”. Click through to watch the full segment!
It looks like we will have to wait just a few days more for the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Premiere date has officially moved to Friday, May 27th (Likely so it can premiere live at Celebration). We will also be getting the first TWO episodes for the premiere. This news came via a social media message from Ewan McGregor. Click through to see the announcement video…
Ewan McGregor won a Golden Globe for his role in the third season of Fargo on Sunday, but the subject of Obi-Wan Kenobi quickly came up when he took questions from the media. McGregor reiterated that he would be happy to return to the role but said, “There’s no plan at the moment.” Ewan looked the part though. His beard certainly conjured up images of his Obi-Wan Kenobi days. Click through to watch a video from Variety for McGregor’s full comments, including his thoughts on The Last Jedi.
That’s right! After much speculation and many rumors, Lucasfilm has confirmed today that Ewan McGregor will HOPEFULLY get a chance to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi for the now confirmed Obi-Wan standalone film. So far, Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) is in talks for a director. I wonder why Disney didn’t take the opportunity at D23 to officially announce it like most expected. You can read more about it from The Hollywood Reporter. I know I am excited about this, how about you?
