Star Wars Episode 9: 12 Rumours You Need To Know

3. Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Cameo

The Obi-Wan Kenobi movie was on, then it was off, and now no one really knows what's happening with it, but we might still get to see Ewan McGregor reprising his role regardless.

The actor has long been linked with a return to the Star Wars galaxy, and a report last month claimed that he was going to be filming a cameo for Episode IX. Admittedly the report came from The Sun, but McGregor has always said he'd be up for coming back.

The character could appear alongside Luke, if both were to appear as Force Ghosts, or - in a more out there scenario - he could tie into Rey's parentage, should Abrams want to have Rey be a Kenobi (which would still fit with the parent reveal in The Last Jedi).

Likelihood: 6/10
