Star Wars fans, rejoice! Ewan McGregor is officially in talks to star as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a new Star Wars series for Disney+.

Many Star Wars fans have been hoping to see Ewan McGregor return to a galaxy far, far away as Obi-Wan Kenobi for some time now. Rumors have constantly swirled that McGregor was in the middle of negotiations to star in a Kenobi standalone movie, and the appearance of McGregor’s voice as the famous Jedi in The Force Awakens only stoked those fandom flames.

However, after the Han Solo standalone movie performed poorly at the box office, Star Wars revamped its approach to spin-off movies, and it seemed McGregor’s return to the Jedi world might never happen. Happily, that isn’t the case at all. As Variety confirms, McGregor is actively negotiating to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi for a new series based on the Jedi for Disney+.

Of course, because this is Star Wars and Disney, the fact that McGregor is in talks to star in an Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone series is where the new information stops. It is unclear when we’ll get more information, but with D23 just around the corner, it might be that Disney is saving big announcements for the expo. We can hope, anyway!

An Obi-Wan Kenobi series would be the third Star Wars series for Disney+. The stunning new streamer has already announced the series The Mandalorian, starring Pedro Pascal and directed by Jon Favreau, and a standalone Cassian Andor series that follows the Rogue One character played by Diego Luna.

Of course, some have worried that a series about Obi-Wan would be kind of boring or have to seriously retcon the Jedi’s story. After all, do we really need to chronicle what happened to him after he moved to Tatooine to live as hermit Old Ben in the desert?

So while there are still many questions surrounding the series, we can’t help but feel excited. McGregor did a great job portraying Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel series, and we have faith that Disney will do a great job expanding on Obi-Wan’s story.

We’ll keep you posted as more news breaks on this exciting new series!
