Ewan McGregor Teases Secret ObiWan Kenobi Actor Hes Never Acted With

Ewan McGregor teases a scene with a special actor he’s never worked with before in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Star Wars prequel trilogy might still be divisive among fans, but McGregor’s performance as Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi remains a high point for many. That’s why the news that he would return to the role for a new Disney+ series was met with such excitement from fans. Set ten years after Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi will find the character on Tatooine watching over a young Luke Skywalker.

McGregor won’t be the only familiar face from the Star Wars prequels appearing on Obi-Wan Kenobi, as Joel Egerton and Bonnie Piesse will be back as Luke’s aunt and uncle, Owen and Beru. Perhaps most excitingly, Hayden Christensen will reprise his Darth Vader for the series. Beyond that, Obi-Wan Kenobi will be filled with newcomers to the franchise, including Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Moses Ingram, Sung Kang, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Rupert Friend, Simone Kessell, Benny Safdie, and Maya Erskine. Everyone’s characters so far remain a secret.

Production on Obi-Wan Kenobi is officially underway, and McGregor was able to disclose some new teases while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his Netflix miniseries Halston. Naturally, there was much McGregor couldn’t say, but he did offer a tantalizing tidbit. When asked if they celebrated last week’s Star Wars Day on set, McGregor confirmed they did and that, “I got to play a very special scene on May the 4th with someone very special in my life, and that’s all I can tell you about it.” Kimmel pressed, questioning if this is someone he’d ever been seen on camera with before or if they are related to him. “No,” and “No, not necessarily,” McGregor replied.

Before fans get too excited, this mystery actor could be someone who was already announced to be a part of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and McGregor might just be keeping their identity a secret to avoid spoilers for the plot. Even if it isn’t someone who has been announced, it’s better to not assume it’s a big name cameo. Paul Bettany gave a similar tease about WandaVision, hyping up a secret actor he’d never worked with before and had great chemistry with. In the end, said secret performer ended up being Bettany himself, with him playing both Vision and White Vision.

This isn’t to say McGregor is going to end up playing opposite himself. However, it’s always better to approach these kind of teases with some caution. WandaVision was met with wild theories that proved to be incorrect, which led to some disappointment among audiences. It will be exciting to see who Obi-Wan Kenobi’s mystery person is, but in order to avoid being let down, it might be best to keep the theories relatively small.
