Stars Wars Director Wanted Ewan McGregor To Return To The Last Jedi..
Welcome back to Film Spotlight, today on the channel we are going to check out details as Ewan McGregor Almost Returned For Star Wars: The Last Jedi + other related news. As the Star Wars sequel trilogy released, theories surrounding returning characters were at an all-time high. Anything seemed possible, from Hayden Christensen returning as Anakin to Ewan McGregor returning to Obi-Wan as a Force ghost. In the end, neither of these characters made an appearance. However, director Rian Johnson admitted that he wanted Obi-Wan to return in Star Wars: The Last Jedi but wasn't sure if Ewan McGregor's version would fit.
There were once many theories surrounding Rey being Obi-Wan's daughter, and while those never came true, it was still possible to fit him into the trilogy. With Luke alone on the planet Ahch-To, he could've easily been visited by a Force ghost version of Obi-Wan, alongside the return of Yoda. And Johnson was well aware of this and definitely considered it. During an interview with The Playlist, Johnson spoke about the matter, revealing, "I would have loved to have had Ewan McGregor in the movie but it was just a matter of story-telling." He then explained the complications of using McGregor, saying, "obviously, if Alec Guinness were still with us, that would have made sense. But we never saw Luke ever interact with the Ewan version of Obi-Wan." Meanwhile, Disney Confirms 10 Star Wars Actors Returning for Disney+ Tales of the Jedi. In just over two weeks, Lucasfilm Animation will return with a new Star Wars project in Tales of the Jedi. A series of six anthology shorts, Dave Filoni wrote the stories to kill time during flights to Los Angeles for the production of The Mandalorian; with the beautiful animation work being done for The Bad Batch, the Man in the Cowboy Hat had to get his hands on more of that medium himself. Watch till the end to know more details about Ewan McGregor Almost Returned For Star Wars: The Last Jedi + other related news.
