"I'm really excited about it. It's gonna be great, I think," McGregor said. "As I understand, it's a standalone season ... we'll see. Who knows?"

The character of Obi-Wan -- who was almost Rey's ancestor -- appeared in Episodes I through IV of the Star Wars movies, as well as in the Clone Wars animated series. McGregor played the character in The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

The highly anticipated Obi-Wan series was first revealed in August 2019 during Disney's D23 expo. It will join fellow Disney Plus original series The Mandalorian on the streaming service.
