Ewan McGregor fuels speculation of a Star Wars return with his latest assignment

by

At Fan Expo Boston, it was incorrectly reported that Ewan McGregor himself would be appearing in season 2 of “Ahsoka”, when in fact what he actually mentioned is that his wife, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, will soon begin filming for the show. Winstead portrays live-action Hera Syndulla in the series, leading to the confusion where someone on site misunderstood McGregor and erroneously reported that he had confirmed his own participation.

Lucasfilm had initially refused this claim, but later at Fan Expo Canada, Ewan McGregor, the actor portraying Obi-Wan Kenobi, made a statement that sparked excitement among fans. Specifically, he mentioned, “I plan on catching up with all of The Clone Wars series. That’s my assignment.

For any dedicated Star Wars enthusiast, viewing “The Clone Wars” is an absolute necessity. Interestingly, Ewan McGregor is currently engrossed in this series, while Hayden Christensen confessed to having watched all 7 seasons of “The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels” in preparation for his reprisal as Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader in both “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Ahsoka”. It’s intriguing to imagine that perhaps McGregor might be delving into these acclaimed animated series in anticipation of a possible return, hinted by flashbacks from the Clone Wars.

Is it possible that Ewan McGregor is gearing up for season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi or perhaps contributing to Dave Filoni’s flashback scenes in Ahsoka season 2 as part of his assigned tasks? For a while, there have been whispers about McGregor’s role in the series, but nothing official has been announced until now. It’s intriguing that Lucasfilm promptly debunked any speculation surrounding McGregor’s involvement in Ahsoka, leading one to ponder why they felt the need to dispel these rumors. As for a potential Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2, McGregor seems hopeful, stating, “I don’t know their plans right now, I know they’re making ‘Ahsoka’, but I’m sure at some point.

Despite this, it appears that McGregor is well-versed in Star Wars history, and it’s clear he’ll enjoy watching the animated adaptation of the esteemed Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The series, “The Clone Wars,” delves into the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker during the war, as well as Obi-Wan’s sorrowful love story with Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore. Tragically, she was murdered by Obi-Wan’s arch-enemy, Darth Maul.

The concept of a live-action version of Star Wars: The Clone Wars has long been a topic of discussion among fans, and more recently, Hayden Christensen himself has voiced his support for it. In the show’s fifth episode, “Shadow Warrior” of Ahsoka, Christensen had the chance to wear Anakin Skywalker’s Clone Wars armor. He has expressed a desire for Ewan McGregor to join him in any potential Clone Wars scenes. At Fan Expo Canada, McGregor fondly referred to Christensen as “my brother from another mother.

All seven seasons of The Clone Wars are streaming on Disney+.
