Ewan McGregor reveals his trade secrets in the current issue of Total Film magazine (out now, and available on your iPad for just £1.99).
We also took the opportunity to grill him on Star Wars: Episode VII, and here’s an excerpt on what he had to say on the matter:
“I’d be up for it. If they need me to be Obi Wan Kenobi, I’d be happy to do it,” McGregor told us.
“Who knows what the story would be? How could I be Obi Wan Kenobi? Oh, I’m in the force? With Liam [Neeson]? We’re in there together? I’m up for it anyway. I will don the cloak again.”
For much more from Ewan McGregor on Star Wars, The Impossible and awards, pick up issue 202 of Total Film magazine which is out now. You can save 50% on the cover price if you subscribe with our winter 2012 offer!
And don’t forget, the issue is available as our incredible interactive iPad edition for just £1.99.

Erm no. Like I've said before the only returning cast member I want to see is Mark Hamill, having him as a Master looking over a new academy makes sense. We do not need to see an old Han Solo or an old fat Leia.

Right so we have Samuel Jackson (Mace Windu - dead) looking to return and now Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan - dead). Do none of these guys know the story and, more importantly, the fate of their characters in the series to this point? Personally, I'd sack the whole sequel idea. Lets go back...delete Episodes 1, 2 & 3 and remake them. And this time, DO IT PROPERLY!!

Of course he'd be up for it, his career is practically non existent.

Not true Desperation. He has a great career making food films. Not paying much attention are you.

The Impossible, Jack the Giant Slayer, The HBO Corrections series. Seems like his career is going quite well. The only way they could bring him back is if Luke returns. At the moment it seems like there might be a whole lot of dead Jedi walking around.

Also we don't need to hear McGregor try another awful accent.

McGregor is a fine actor and an excellent obi wan but will unfortunately not be returning in episode 7. I don't think any original actors will be returning, except for R2. Leia's children will be in the story.

Without being pedantic-shouldnt we really refer to this as a spin-off? It obviously cant pick up right where VI left off as everyone is 30+ years older. Even their children would probably be grown up. It also probably cant feature the Empire unless we're to believe the war has also lasted about 3 decades longer. So....a story set quite a long way in the future, barely linked to the original 6 films and with very few actors in common? Its a spin-off no matter what roman numerals or name we give it. having McGregor there would make little sense unless he was a hologram recording or similar.
