Ewan McGregor Would 'Be Happy' To Do A 'Star Wars' Return

Ewan McGregor is a veteran of three Star Wars manifestations and has indicated he'd go for a fourth round should he be asked by the franchise's new owners.

McGregor played a young Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith and he said he'd be up for a return to the galaxy far, far away once more.

"I guess, yeah, of course," said McGregor to Digital Spy about a potential return. "If they need me, yeah, I'd be happy [to go back]."

Speaking with Moviefone earlier this year, McGregor said that his experience was a good one and that Star Wars had gained him some young fans.

"It was great to be involved in - to be in that franchise and that legend of Star Wars is really satisfying. It's nice. Children speak to me about it - before then there hadn't been many films that I made that children would have watched. I've always been very happy about it."

Disney bought Lucasfilm in October for $4.05 billion in a surprising high-profile purchase and is planning to make Episodes VII, VIII and IX as a result.
