MTV recently caught up with Ewan McGregor who said he’s not currently involved with the Star Wars universe at the moment.
On if there’s plans to use him in the new movies:
“No! I’m still waiting for the call!” McGregor said. “Seriously!”
“And I don’t know how it could work, because I don’t know what those stories are. I never discussed them with George [Lucas] when we made ours, so I have no idea what the three storylines are.”
On the new lightsaber:
“I saw it over someone’s shoulder, I was watching on a film set, I watched it like that,” McGregor said. “And I saw the hilt come [out], and I went: done. You don’t need hilts!” he laughed. “If you have a lightsaber, you don’t need a silly hilt. Hilts are for– Anyway, I won’t say it.”
