Ewan McGregor still isn’t ready to leave Obi-Wan Kenobi behind, and the Star Wars actor has already pitched an idea that could reunite the legendary Jedi Master with Yoda.
McGregor recently revealed that he has spoken with Lucasfilm co-president Dave Filoni about potential stories that could bring Obi-Wan back following the events of the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi. One idea would explore Obi-Wan attempting to reconnect with Yoda during the years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
“It was very casual, but I said there’s got to be something,” McGregor said of his conversation with Filoni. “Because Yoda’s somewhere else.”
Following the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Yoda went into exile on Dagobah while Obi-Wan eventually settled on Tatooine to watch over a young Luke Skywalker. McGregor believes the separation between the surviving Jedi could provide the foundation for another Obi-Wan story.
“So I think there could be a story there where I’m trying to reach out to him,” McGregor added.

The idea could also serve as a natural continuation of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The 2022 series ended with Obi-Wan finally reconnecting with the Force ghost of his former master, Qui-Gon Jinn, played once again by Liam Neeson. A second season could potentially explore Obi-Wan’s continued spiritual growth while filling in more of the years leading to the character’s appearance in A New Hope.
McGregor has repeatedly expressed interest in returning to the role, noting that there remains a significant unexplored period between the Disney+ series and the older Obi-Wan portrayed by Alec Guinness. Earlier this month, however, McGregor acknowledged that there still hasn’t been meaningful movement on another season.
For now, Lucasfilm has not officially announced Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2, meaning McGregor’s Yoda storyline remains only an idea. Still, with the actor continuing to push for another chapter and now discussing potential stories directly with Filoni, the door to another Obi-Wan adventure doesn’t appear completely closed.
