Deadline

The 48-year-old Scottish actor is in talks to return to his role as Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi in a Disney+ series. According to Deadline, confirming a report from Cinelinx, details of the untitled series are being kept under wraps. This would be Disney+'s third live-action Star Wars series after The Mandalorian and the Rogue One prequel. Deadline adds: "Plans in recent years to produce a stand-alone Kenobi feature film morphed into the current plan for a big-budget series for Disney+, the digital subscription service that has become an all-hands-on-deck mission for Disney with a bevy of shows from Marvel Studios and major-budget original programming, such as the high-profile remake of The Lady and The Tramp." McGregor played Kenobi in all three Star Wars prequel films. He also made a voice-over cameo in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
