Star Wars: Ewan McGregor Holding Out Hope to Play Obi-Wan Kenobi Again

It has been two years since “Star Wars” fans last saw Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Disney+ series bearing the same title, and the actor expresses optimism that this six-episode series won’t mark the end of his portrayal of the legendary Jedi Master on screen. During an interview with Variety, McGregor reminisced about his time playing the cherished character, which he began 25 years ago for “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.” He also shared that he still has more stories to tell featuring Obi-Wan before the timeline aligns with Alec Guinness’ portrayal in “Star Wars: A New Hope.

The Critic – REVIEW

In simpler terms, Stephen Fry’s sentiment is that critics, like character Jimmy Erskine (played by Ian McKellen), are often seen as negative figures who criticize rather than create. This story takes place in pre-WWII Britain, where Erskine, feared and respected in equal measure, serves as the chief theatre critic for The Daily Chronicle. The newspaper’s owner has recently passed away, leaving it to his son David Brooke (Mark Strong), who is not fond of Erskine’s sharp criticism. Moreover, Brooke disapproves of Erskine’s sexual encounters in public parks, a behavior that was frowned upon by society and often prosecuted by the police during that time due to persecution of gay men.
