Speaking with British GQ, McGregor pondered on playing his Star Wars character again for the first time in 17 years while working with Christensen on the Obi-Wan Kenobi movie.
McGregor added that if the chance occurred, he would definitely perform his character.
He said, “If I could do one of these every now and again, I’d just be happy about it.”
McGregor also discussed what it was like to work with Christensen again after such a long period, and how he felt in their first moment together as the Sith Lord Darth Vader.
“I got a jolt of fear that made me six years old again,” he said. “I’ve never experienced that before. I just about crapped my pants.”
In an interview with RadioTimes, Christensen expressed his desire to return to his Star Wars role for a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
