Although three Star Wars films and spin-offs are in the production pipeline, Ewan McGregor told MTV that he's still waiting to hear back regarding a project centered on his character, Obi Wan Kenobi.

"No! I'm still waiting for the call!" McGregor said. "Seriously!"

The actor conceded, "And I don't know how it could work, because I don't know what those stories are. I never discussed them with George [Lucas] when we made ours, so I have no idea what the three storylines are."

McGregor added that he's seen the teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and has some very strong opinions about a particular new lightsaber.

"I saw it over someone's shoulder, I was watching on a film set, I watched it like that," McGregor said. "And I saw the hilt come [out], and I went: done. You don't need hilts!" he laughed. "If you have a lightsaber, you don't need a silly hilt. Hilts are for– Anyway, I won't say it."

The Star Wars alum continued, "We managed very well! The Jedi Order managed very well without hilts for hundreds of millions of years!"

The Force Awakens lands in theaters December 18.
