You might remember that a couple of days ago, rumors surfaced that Ian McDiarmid and his character of Emperor Palpatine would return in "Star Wars: Episode 7" as a "Force Ghost" or something. And it seems he won't be the only one (allegedly) returning as an apparition. According to Latino Review, Obi-Wan Kenobi will also appear from the afterlife in some fashion, to be played by Ewan McGregor, reprising his role from the prequels. But that's probably the least interesting part of all of this.
The site also claims that according to their source, McGregor wants to do an Obi-Wan standalone movie, but "whether he gets one or not is still up in the air." Of course, Disney has already confirmed that there will be standalone movies outside of the original saga and Simon Kinberg and Lawrence Kasdan are penning these spin-offs, though characters haven't yet been officially confirmed. But an one-off with Obi-Wan? It's certainly potentially interesting, particularly if McGregor is game.
