<p>After Disney bought the Star Wars brand from George Lucas, the company laid out its plans not only for a new trilogy&#8211;Episodes 7, 8, and 9&#8211;but also spinoff films and character-specific ones. We already know about a<a href="http://ift.tt/2dtOV8F"> Han Solo movie coming in 2018</a> and a<a href="http://ift.tt/1LaSWrg"> Boba Fett-focused film may come later</a>.</p>
<p>But could Obi-Wan Kenobi get his own movie someday? According to Ewan McGregor, who played the famous Jedi in the prequel trilogy, there is a story to be told about the character and he hopes it happens.</p>

<p>&quot;I&#8217;ve always thought there was a story to tell between my last one and Alec Guinness&#8217; first one,&quot; he said told<a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2dvpoJz"> French site Premiere</a>, as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2dWCfIc">translated by DenofGeek</a>, referencing <em>Episode III</em> and <em>Episode IV</em>.</p>
<p>McGregor made it clear, however, that he has not been approached about an Obi-Wan movie. Still, it&#8217;s an idea that McGregor said has a lot of legs and one that he would like to be a part of.</p>
<p>&quot;It would be fun to film that story now I&#8217;m older,&quot; he said. &quot;I&#8217;d be the right age. I&#8217;m forty-five; Alec Guinness was what, sixty? I could do two of them (laughs)!&quot;</p>
<p>Speaking generally about the Star Wars film franchise going forward, McGregor said he hopes Lucasfilm &quot;explore[s] different genres&quot; and stories.</p>
<p>&quot;One of those could be an Obi-Wan Kenobi feature film. Or two!&quot; he said. &quot;The Obi-Wan Kenobi Story Part 1 and Part 2!&quot;</p>
<p>McGregor&#8217;s next movie is <em>American Pastoral</em>, which represents his directorial debut. Based on the book by Philip Roth, the film stars McGregor, Jennifer Connelly, and Dakota Fanning; it opens on October 21. </p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/1Jpu3Wc">The voices of McGregor and Guinness can be heard in one scene in <em>The Force Awakens</em></a>. Guinness passed away in 2000, but Lucasfilm was able to use some movie magic to have him say &quot;Rey&quot; in the film.</p>
<p>Next up for Star Wars is the spinoff movie <em>Rogue One</em>, which comes out in December. The newest trailer was released this week&#8211;and there was a lot of new footage on display. <a href="http://ift.tt/2ejQAQf">Watch the trailer here</a> and check out our <a href="http://ift.tt/2evZWI7">breakdown of the key moments here</a>.</p>
