A while back we discussed Disney's plans to go full steam ahead with the Star Wars universe and release a new movie every year until there's no longer an appetite from the fans.
This will include both a continuation of the saga set up in the Star Wars films thus far as well as self contained spin offs focusing on characters in the extended universe. Rogue One, which will be released later this year will be the first of these spin offs and a standalone Han Solo movie will be the second. Provided these spin offs are a hit with fans, Disney will surely be looking to see what other characters they can mine for future movies.
One character which could be perfect for such treatment is Obi Wan Kenobi and Ewan McGregor, the man who portrayed him in the prequel trilogy is very much on board with the idea. McGregor sat down with Collider and discussed the possibility of an Obi Wan standalone in the below video.
"I’d very much like to do one too. I think the story between Episode III and Episode IV, I think there’s a story there. I think that’s the Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, if there is one. The one that bridges my Obi-Wan Kenobi and Alec’s Obi-Wan Kenobi because there’s a -I don’t know how long he’s in the desert there, but it’s got to be twenty or thirty years."
As McGregor himself says there's a good twenty years or so between the end of Episode III and the start of IV so it wouldn't be unlikely that he took a break from watching over Luke every now and again to go save the Galaxy. Also if certain theories about Rey's origins turn out to be true, there'll be a LOT of explaining to do.
A trilogy might be stretching it though!
