Ewan McGregor Talks ‘Star Wars’, ‘Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep’, and More in Our New Issue

Obi-Wan Kenobi is finally back. Ewan McGregor appears on the cover of our latest November issue, on stands now—and the Hollywood legend’s ready to talk about his return as everyone’s favorite Jedi in the highly anticipated Star Wars TV series.

“It’s a fucking massive relief,” he tells contributing editor Mickey Rapkin about being able to announce he’ll play Obi-Wan again. “Because for four years, I’ve been having to lie to people about it.”

While Star Wars fans will have to wait to see McGregor wield a lightsaber anytime soon (he starts shooting next year) and the series’ details are still being kept under wraps, he reveals a few secrets we’ve all been waiting for. (“The storyline sits between Episode III and Episode IV,” McGregor says.) What else can we expect? Check out our new cover story here for more.

Before we see him in a galaxy far, far away, McGregor returns to theaters in this month’s Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep, the next chapter in The Shining saga, in theaters November 8. Rapkin caught up with McGregor to find out more about his Doctor Sleep role as Dan Torrance, Jack Nicholson’s grown-up son who’s facing his demons and a familiar door in the new thriller from director Mike Flanagan.

“I’ve been sober for years,” McGregor tells us. “This was the first time I got to explore that in my work.”
