Talking to French publication Premiere (as translated by Den of Geek ) while promoting his directorial debut American Pastoral, McGregor was asked about the classic Star Wars character and mentioned he would be keen to star in a film, or two, that focused on Obi-Wan's time between the prequel trilogy, in which McGregor starred, and the original trilogy, during which Sir Alec Guiness portrayed Obi-Wan."It would be fun to film that story now [that] I'm older," he said. "I’d be the right age. I’m forty-five, Alec Guinness was what, sixty? I could do two of them!"McGregor went on to elaborate what he would like to see out of Obi-Wan's return to film."I hope that they’re going to explore different genres under the Star Wars banner," he continued. "And one of those could be an Obi-Wan Kenobi feature film. Or two! The Obi-Wan Kenobi Story Part 1 and Part 2!"McGregor admits nobody has spoken to him about this idea. He did, however, return to the character recently, with a small vocal cameo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and has repeatedly discussed returning to the series if given the option.In the meantime, he will soon be seen in the third season of Fargo , portraying a set of brothers.For more on IGN's Star Wars coverage, check out the latest about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story , which hits theaters on December 16.
