Rumored Obi-Wan Kenobi Trilogy Could Include Darth Maul
Reports of an Obi-Wan Kenobi trilogy being developed by Lucasfilm have been around for several months. Schmoes Know claims to have some additional details on that trilogy that include intel about Ewan McGregor's involvement and other characters that could appear in it, like Darth Maul!
The site says that McGregor is in talks with Disney and Lucasfilm to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a trilogy outside of the Star Wars Anthology films. They go on to point out that the stories will be set after Episode III, and he will not be a force ghost.
Their source supports the idea that the films "would focus on Obi-Wan’s adventures between the two trilogies as he watches over a maturing Luke Skywalker." They then explain that the films would be "standalone adventures," and that there's a possibility that we would see the return of characters such as Owen Lars and Darth Maul.
It seems like a no-brainer for Disney and Lucasfilm to want to make these movies, and it would be so cool if McGregor actually did come back to reprise his role. He did say that he'd be up for returning, so if the studios are talking to him, I'm sure they'll strike a deal.
Kenobi is such a powerful and badass character in the Star Wars universe, and there are plenty of great stories that they could center around him. This is still only a rumor, but a rumor that continues to grow, with lots of new details, so I'm sure there's some truth to it. One day all will be revealed, so stay tuned!
