McGregor said he was really excited to be reprising his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a series for Disneys streaming platform due in 2022. Maybe more so than the first ones, because Im older I just turned 50 and Im just in a much better place, he said.
He said that during filming for the new series, the backgrounds are projected on to this massive LED screen which would feel more realistic than CGI-acting.
So if youre in a desert, youre standing in the middle of a desert, he said. If youre in the snow, youre surrounded by snow. And if youre in a cockpit of a starfighter, youre in space. Its going to feel so much more real.
