During a recent interview with the Disney Studios Awards, McGregor and Hayden opened up about their return to the franchise. While speaking about the preparation for the role, McGregor said there wasn't any major adjustment to be made and opened up about watching all of the Star Wars films and getting reminded of several funny, off-screen moments.
During the conversation, McGregor went on to note how the series bridges the gap between the two trilogies. He remarked on his happiness about returning to the franchise and working with Hayden, and even added that he hopes to do it again, hinting at a new season.
"I was so happy to do it again and so happy to work with Hayden again, and I hope we get the chance to do it again," he said.
'Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith' was the last movie in which both the actors played the iconic parts on screen together. And it had been 18 years since we last saw the characters on screen with the spinoffs. And during this time period, there have been several movies and shows have been released, building the franchise even further. And it is safe to say that more content about Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi will explore more details on their journey if season 2 is confirmed.
