I think there's a lot there to unpack, and I would be honored to be a part of that." He added, "I think the story of Cal Kestis is a powerful one, and it's one that would translate well to live-action."
Implications for Future Star Wars Projects
Monaghan's comments reignite speculation about the possibility of a Star Wars Jedi live-action series or film.
