Casting A Star Wars: A New Hope Reboot
With the Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi bringing Ewan McGregor back to the franchise, it seems as though he could be continuing his portrayal with a modern reboot of Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope alongside a new cast. With Obi-Wan Kenobi season 1, viewers got a closer look at Obi-Wan and Luke Skywalker's relationship during their years on Tatooine, but timeline rewatches will now jump from Golden Globe-winning actor Ewan McGregor to Emmy Award-winning actor Alec Guinness, who portrayed the original version of the character in A New Hope. While Guinness' Kenobi is surely iconic in its own right, it would be interesting to imagine how different things in the film would be if McGregor took his place.
