'Star Wars' Spin Offs, Obi-Wan Kenobi Standalone Film In The Works? [RUMORS] Will We See Ewan McGregor Back Reprising Iconic Role?

While we wait around for more Star Wars: Episode VII rumors, spoilers, and/or details, some new speculation around a spin-off project dropped this week. According to some reports, we could see an Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone film! This is just a rumor right now, but maybe we could see Ewan McGregor return to the role?

MakingStarWars started this rumors, stating:

Obi-Wan Kenobi - I've heard from quite a few people now that an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie is in the works. For the spin-off movies they were initially going to stay away from any Jedi or Sith characters. But I'm hearing now that because of the popularity of Obi-Wan (fans recently voting for him on the official website etc) that an art team is now working with a writer on concepts for an Obi-Wan movie.

So far all we know about the spin-off films is that Josh Trank and Gareth Edwards will respectfully helm a project. We don't know what the subjects will be, but now this Kenobi rumor popped up, so that's a possibility. Other rumors suggest a Han Solo, Boba Fett, Yoda, even Darth Vader, but nothing has been confirmed from Disney and/or Lucasfilm.

If (and this is a big "if" right now) the Obi-Wan rumors are true, would you like to see McGregor back in the role? Last year the actor said he was open to reprising his role, saying he'd like to tell the story between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

Check out the MTV interview where Ewan suggested this idea:
