Moulin Rouge! and Down With Love and he also hit the stage for a 2005
West End revival of hit show Guys and Dolls, in which he played Sky

'Star Wars' Spin-Offs: Ewan McGregor totally 'Up For' Obi-Wan movie
Prequel actor rolled with the 'good idea' by adding suggestions of his own.
Last week, when the possibility of "Star Wars" spin-offs and standalone films
became a reality instead of nerdy conjecture, minds began racing to
figure out which characters from the galaxy far, far away might get the
call. There were rumors of a Boba Fett film and the adventures of young Han Solo, but Harrison Ford doesn't exactly fit into that black vest anymore.
Many
of the actors from the prequel films, however, are thankfully still
close enough in age to their characters to allow a standalone movie. And
if we're comparing that list with yet uncovered portions the "Star
Wars" mythos,
Ewan McGregor certainly springs to mind, and, guess what, he's totally up for it.
MTV News sat down with McGregor and his "Jack the Giant Slayer"
co-star Stanley Tucci during a press event for the new film, and the
former Obi-Wan Kenobi shared his thoughts on a possible spin-off movie.
"I
think it's a good idea," McGregor said of getting his own film. "The
only bit that I could get away with doing is after the last one I made,
'Episode III,' before Alec Guinness, there's that period where he's in
the desert."
