Star Wars Spin-Off Appeals to Ewan McGregor


The Force is strong with Ewan McGregor: The actor who played Obi-Wan Kenobi inStar Wars: Episode I IIIhas expressed interest in a new stand-alone spin-off film about the Jedi master, MTV reports. McGregor, who played a younger Kenobi in the prequel trilogy, called the possible spin-off a good idea and even suggested a possible plot line.

The only bit that I could get away with doing is after the last one I made, Episode III, before Alec Guinness, theres that period where hes in the desert, said McGregor, referring to the actor who played Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy. During that time in the story, Kenobi becomes a recluse on the desert planet Tatooine, keeping watch over young Luke Skywalker, whom he later trains as a Jedi.

Kenobis adventures on Tatooine before the start of the original trilogy could be an entry point for a new spin-off. That might be my window, there, to tell that story, McGregor said. I dont know what he did in the desert. We could make up some stuff.

Regardless of storyline, McGregor said, Id be up for it. J.J. Abrams has been tapped to direct the next Star Wars film, Episode VII, set for release in 2015. Disney, whichacquired Lucasfilmlast October, is also planning stand-alone Star Wars spinoffs, and early reports and rumors suggest films centering around Han Solo, Yoda or the bounty hunter Boba Fett.
