Ewan McGregor Hopes To Return To ‘Star Wars’ Universe & Play Obi-Wan Kenobi Again: “I’m Sure We Will”

After years of waiting, “Star Wars” actor Ewan McGregor was able to finally explore his lone wolf Jedi Masters character in the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Disney+ series prequel. Initially envisioned as three films, Lucasfilm eventually pivoted towards a series in 2018, and some of the longer, darker ideas were scrapped.

After years of exile on planet Disney+, Lucasfilm’s plan to marshal “Star Wars” back to the big screen is about to take off. Just a few hours after “The Mandalorian & Grogu” landed a summer 2026 release date from Disney, another “Star Wars” film from director James Mangold is starting to take shape.

Beau Willimon (Andor) has been tapped to co-write Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi (working title) alongside the film’s director James Mangold, Deadline can confirm.

The film, originally slated to open in 2025, has been pushed back to July 10, 2026. That news came as part of a deluge of Disney release date announcements and shifting debuts.

Strictly Come Dancing professional Kristina Rihanoff has paid a heartfelt tribute to Robin Windsor, who passed away last month and was found in a London hotel after enjoying a once in a lifetime cruise sailing around Africa with professional dancer Gordana Grandosek. Robin and Kristina were long-term dance partners, with the latter sharing a number of pictures to Instagram of them together as she wrote: "I wish I can hold you in my arms and dance with you one more dance … love you and miss you, always and forever Robin, thank you for all the beautiful memories …". One of the pictures was a sign from Robin's funeral, which took place on March 24 and was said to be a 'colourful' occasion.

“No one’s ever really gone,” Luke Skywalker famously said in 2017’s “Star Wars – Episode VIII – The Last Jedi.” A poignant line about memory and those we keep dear in our hearts, the line arguably had the double ironic meaning of how no one ever actually ever dies in genre films, especially not in “Star Wars,” thanks to the whole Force Ghost conceit. Speaking of Force Ghosts, while Liam Neeson made a brief appearance in 2022’s “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series starring Ewan McGregor, the actor doesn’t seem interested in much more beyond that brief cameo.
