Thanks to Ewan McGregor, we now know that the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney Plus has started filming. Even better, the Scot has teased a mysterious scene the Jedi Master shares with "someone special".

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, McGregor said his Star Wars Day on May 4 involved filming "a very special scene… with someone special in my life."

While he was reluctant to offer more info, McGregor did reveal that it was someone who he hasn’t appeared on camera with before. So, let the guessing games begin.

Still, Star Wars fans’ imaginations will likely run wild at the thought of Obi-Wan mixing it up with either a legacy character or a big-name actor in a galaxy far, far away. McGregor also teased that his costume – traditionally Jedi robes – is "a little different than you might expect".
