McGregor addressed trade reports that the Disney Plus series had been placed on hold at an event Thursday promoting his latest film “Birds of Prey.”
“It´s only just slid back a bit,” McGregor told The Associated Press. “But we´re still shooting it. I think it´ll still be aired when it was meant to be and I´m really excited about it.”
The series will focus on Kenobi, a Jedi master, in the years before the events of the first “Star Wars” film. Alec Guinness played Kenobi in the original film, introducing millions to the franchise´s mystical power, The Force.
McGregor played a young Kenobi during his early years a Jedi in three prequel films, beginning with 1999´s “The Phantom Menace.”
“The scripts are excellent and they just want them to be better, and so we just pushed it back,” McGregor said of the new series. “It´ll be fun to play again.”
A return to the role for McGregor has been long rumored, and was announced last year at Disney´s D23 Expo. McGregor has said he felt somewhat tortured by all the secrecy around the project.
The show is scheduled to become the second live-action “Star Wars” series on Disney Plus. “The Mandalorian” has been a hit for the new streaming service, introducing audiences to new Star Wars characters, including the adorable, memeable Baby Yoda.
