Ewan McGregor Would Happily Return To Star Wars, But Wouldn't Need A Crossguard Lightsaber

Ewan McGregor wants to feel the force again.

The famed actor, who played a young Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars Episodes I-III, recently said that he'd like to revisit the galaxy far, far, away.

"I'd be happy to do the story from episodes three where I finish up and Alec Guinness starts," McGregor said at this weekend's Edinburgh Film Festival, referring to the elder Kenobi that Guinness played in Star Wars Episode IV.

However, McGregor does have one stipulation for his return: No hilted lightsabers, which Star Wars Episode VII villain Kylo Ren, wields. "I'm not sure about the hilt on the lightsaber. If you fight with a lightsaber properly you don't need one," he joked.

All jokes aside, an Obi-Wan film set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope seems possible, should Lucasfilm and Disney have the desire. With the franchise's new slate of anthology films (which starts with 2016's Rogue One) fleshing out unexplored Star War stories, Lucasfilm could easily tell the tale of Old Man Kenobi's time on Tatooine.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens on December 18.
