    I would really love to see Ewan McGregor come back as OB1, and I think I have a way they could do it. The first Jedi temple could contain secrets to life after death for a Jedi Master. I have always been bothered by his last words to Darth Vader, " if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine", yet he never did. I know one could argue that as a force ghost he was able to guide Luke somewhat but with massive limitations. Even in ROTJ, he said if you choose to face Vader you must do it alone, I cannot help you. What if Luke left everything after his failure with the Jedi academy to seek the Jedi temple to get help from his mentors? Maybe the crystal from his lightsaber is the key to turning on the ancient device within the temple. If he appears to Luke as a younger self, he could always say that he first appeared to Luke as he knew him then, but now he has reached a higher plateau in the force. To me this helps bring back Ewan for more movies, OB1 for more adventures, and give Luke some help when he needs it. I would love to see OB1 back in Episode 8, and this could be a way for him to combat the Knights of Ren with Luke and Rey, who may even turn out to be related to him.

    NO way. If they bring back Obi Wan, make a cgi version of Alec Guinness instead. It would be a DISGRACE to use Ewan McGregor for future movies.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I'm not so sure about Obi-Wan but ep8 is doomed without Qui-Gon's force ghost. They MUST bring him back.

    They've already used the lightsaber plot device...I don't think they'll be doing it again .

    They could also just make Ewan look older by putting grey in his hair and beard and just talking like Alec did. Maybe put some effects to make him look more thinner like Alec actually was since Ewan has a more kind of thicker face.

    Yeah, that's the way to do it. Ewan McGregor did a fantastic job of playing Obi-Wan in the prequels, he's probably the best thing about those films. It wouldn't be difficult to use a combination of prosthetics and GGI to make him look like Alec Guinness. The best thing about doing it that way is you don't piss off the Guinness family by using his likeness in a weird way.

    I'd love to see Ewan come back as a Force ghost in VIII or IX. He was one of my favorite parts of the PT, I really like what he brought to the character. If he does reprise his role, I don't need him to look like Alec Guinness either. Maybe a little bit of prosthetics or CG alteration to make him look a little older I suppose. Thats not to say that I didn't I love Alec Guiness as "Old Ben.' I would rather him reprise the role if that were possible, but I'm not sure a CGI Alec Guinness would work though. I'm not sure the technology is quite there. We have yet to cross the "Uncanny Valley." But who knows, Star Wars has always pushed the boundaries of VFX, maybe ILM could pull it off.

    His actual family. I would think that Lucasfilm would probably consult them first before doing anything but I have a feeling most families would probably say no.
    Sean who?

    Legally speaking LFL owns the rights to the image of obi-wan kenobi so they could easily replicate him in CGI but if they were to make something like a hologram of the actor as himself then that's when they would run into legal issues at that point .

    Autocorrect is the worst.

    Well Disney owns the right to Obi-Wan so they probably wouldn't really care what the family thinks and I don't really understand why his family would say no (especially if Disney did ask and gave them some $$$)

    You could be right. I feel like this is relatively uncharted territory and I don't really know how rights issues like this work. No matter how Disney/Lucasfilm does this, they have to do it right and with respect.

    1: That wasn't the intention.
    2: It's fan art I just thought it would be a great scene.
