The announcement follows Ewan McGregor’s return to the Star Wars universe, where he recently reprised his role as Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi in the highly anticipated Disney+ series of the same name.
Following the series launch, fans will now be able to meet the Obi-Wan Kenobi actor in person at Comic Con Scotland, which will be held at The Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh from October 8-9, 2022.

One fan took to social media to say say: “Obi-Wan Kenobi might be the best thing I’ve seen ever. Not exaggerating”. While others praised Ewan’s return to the role, after he played the character in Episodes I-III between 1999-2005.
A second fan also added: “Loved the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi. I cannot wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds.”
