Bob Iger recently mentioned a third live action TV series that will be joining The Mandalorian and the as-yet-untitled Cassian Andor series on Disney Plus, and We Got This Covered are reporting that the series in question will bring Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ewan McGregor to the small screen in a live action series.

(I)f you were a fan of Ewan McGregor’s role as the Jedi Master, we have some good news for you. An industry insider recently revealed to We Got This Covered that Disney is not only planning to bring Obi-Wan to their streaming service, in a brand new series, but it’ll also see the return of McGregor to the franchise. Details are scarce right now, but it seems the House of Mouse is planning to make an official announcement in the near future, so be sure to stay tuned.

That certainly tallies up with rumours that we’ve been hearing about the proposed series but as ever, until officially announced, it’s just a rumour (and one we very much hopes comes to fruition).
