According toThe Sun , McGregor will"secretly"shoot scene withStar warfare 9director J.J. Abrams . There ’s no word on how large the actor ’s use would be , but it presumably would be a small part as a Force ghost , exchangeable to Kenobi ’s appearances inThe Empire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jedi .

Since this is an unverified rumour , moviegoer are advised to take this all with a grain of salt . There ’s no denying Obi - Wan is an inbuilt name in the Skywalker saga , having trained both Anakin and Luke at various points in his sprightliness . However , it would be a morsel unknown to see him return forEpisode IX . standardized to Yoda ( whowas previously rumored for this flick ) , Obi - Wan has virtually no connexion to Rey , who is this trilogy ’s principal Force - using supporter . IfStar Wars 9is to do work a Force ghost into the story , the most coherent option would be Luke , who trained Rey inThe Last Jedi .

There is an international prospect this could happen . After all , Yoda was oft rumored forThe Last Jediand Lucasfilm made no prescribed ratification , saving the reveal as a premiere surprise . That being say , Yoda ’s inclusion inEpisode VIIImade sensation ; the confused and weary Luke needed one net lesson from the wise alien to snatch up him out of his nation of brain and become the caption the galaxy needed . There is n’t such an obvious storytelling cause for Obi - Wan or Yoda to come back to the fold this time around . As Rey said , Luke give way with serenity and aim , so he should be able to come to Rey in any meter of need she has to offer advice .
