Overview
- Ewan McGregor said Wednesday at the Edinburgh International Film Festival that he has been pitching story ideas directly to Lucasfilm president and CCO Dave Filoni, most notably a premise in which Obi‑Wan tries to reach Yoda after Episode III.
- McGregor also joked about a potential Obi‑Wan/Hera Syndulla romance after Mary Elizabeth Winstead joined Ahsoka, an idea that drew visible fan backlash over timeline conflicts and Jedi rules on attachments.
- Lucasfilm has made no public commitment to a second Obi‑Wan series and is focused on Ahsoka Season 2, which Lucasfilm has scheduled to premiere on January 20, 2027 on Disney+.
- Hayden Christensen told podcasts he and other prequel-era cast members would be open to reuniting for live-action Clone Wars material, underscoring talent interest but not confirming studio plans.
- The unfilled years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope are fertile for character stories, but practical limits such as franchise continuity, de‑aging needs and Lucasfilm’s priorities will shape whether actor-driven pitches move forward.
