Star Wars Actor Ewan McGregor Wants Disney to Make Andor Season 3, and Cast Him as Obi-Wan Kenobi in It

Ewan McGregor has petitioned Disney for a 3rd play of Andor, truthful his quality Obi-Wan Kenobi tin look wrong it.

Speaking astatine Fan Expo Canada, McGregor said helium had initially been excited to spot if Obi-Wan Kenobi could look successful a aboriginal play of the Disney+ Star Wars show, aft belatedly catching up connected it.

Alas, McGregor soon realised that Andor was present implicit — its tally wrapped up earlier this twelvemonth astatine the extremity of its 2nd play — thing that alternatively ends his chances of appearing successful it. Not to beryllium deterred, however, McGregor has present said there's "always a chance" for much episodes of the bid "if Disney is listening — hypothetically" successful bid to let his incarnation of Obi-Wan Kenobi to return.

"I missed it erstwhile it came out," McGregor said of belatedly catching up connected the show, successful remarks archetypal reported by Collider. "And I don't know, I ever travel to things later. It's conscionable the mode I am. If everybody's talking astir something, I'm like, 'Yeah, I'll spot that later.' And past erstwhile I ticker it, you know, a twelvemonth later, I'm like, 'This is truly good.' And it was like, 'Yeah, that's what we were each saying a twelvemonth ago.'"

McGregor recalled watching the archetypal play with his son, earlier speeding done the series' 2nd tally of episodes connected his ain arsenic helium "couldn't wait" to spot however it concluded.

Unfortunately for McGregor, Andor being constricted to a two-season tally has been known for immoderate clip — though helium is close to judge Obi-Wan Kenobi could marque an appearance, chronologically speaking. McGregor's ain Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ miniseries is acceptable 9 years earlier the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, portion Andor begins 4 years later, and runs up until the events of Star Wars: Rogue One.

That said, it's unclear however a 3rd play of Andor could enactment (maybe McGregor hasn't watched Rogue One yet?) and it's unclear however Kenobi (who is truly expected to beryllium successful hiding from the Empire connected Tatooine astatine this point) realistically could person gotten involved.

"So anyway," McGregor added, "maybe if determination was [a 3rd play of Andor], I could person squeezed successful there, if only. There's ever a accidental that possibly there's a communicative that's happening astatine the aforesaid clip wherever it benignant of crosses over. So there's ever a accidental if Disney is listening — hypothetically, hypothetically. Come on, Disney."

For now, Disney is engaged with a 2nd play of Ahsoka, portion The Mandalorian and Grogu is headed to theaters. Other movie plans see the Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith-starring Star Wars: Starfighter, and a fig of projects that see the instrumentality of Daisy Ridley's Rey. For much connected each of that, you tin cheque retired IGN's usher to each Star Wars movie and TV amusement Disney has successful the works. Ewan, if you're reading, springiness it a go.
