Star Wars: The Force Awakens featured many returns of actors to their iconic roles from previous Star Wars films. But there's one actor who's return you may not have noticed. Apparently Ewan McGregor recorded some new Obi-Wan Kenobi dialogue for the Force vision/flashback that Rey experienced in Maz Kanata's castle.
This information comes by way of James Arnold Taylor, who voiced Obi-Wan on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, who says that he originally recorded that dialogue but was then replaced by Ewan.
@maxreborules it was me originally but they replaced me with some guy named Ewan McSomething... 😜

@t_betts94 yes, it was me originally but they replaced my version with Ewan. I guess if I'm gonna be replaced it should be him! 😀

Did you catch the new Obi-Wan dialogue? And does this maybe open the door to more Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan stories (Anthology film or Force ghost in Episode VIII)? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Some storm trooper dialog has been taken from IV
Listen when Rey is about to climb down the large chasm
You can here a trooper saying "did you see the new....." Same when Ben was at the tractor beam relay.
Also near when they capture Phasma you can here " we think they may be splitting up" from when Han, Chewie, Luke and Leia are trying to get back to the Falcon on the Death Star
Obi-wan is 100% dead but able to force ghost. New characters from TFA are not going to be EU book characters in disguise. EU books are no longer canon.
2.) All signs appear to be pointing towards Rey being Luke's daughter (the X-Wing doll, the X-Wing helmet she put on with the number "V" on it..it wasn't Luke's helmet, but his call sign was "Red V," the lightsaber vision was very heavy with experiences from Luke's life). I don't think she is Leia and Han's daughter because you would think that Han would have recognized her and had some father/daughter dialogue with her. Also, if Leia was her mother and dropped her off on Jakku, then you'd think their embrace at the end would have been a lot more emotional since she wouldn't have seen her daughter in years. It makes more sense for Rey to be Luke's daughter because he went into hiding and likely had her hidden to protect her.
My theory is that Rey is Luke's daughter and either him or her mother (or both) hid her on Jakku once the new Jedi order fell in order to protect her. He left just enough clues for her to find him, and only her. R2 activated when Rey was at the base. I think Luke hid most of the map in R2 and had him go into low power mode only to be activated when Rey was around. R2 has a strong connection with the Skywalker line, I don't think it coincidence that he came back online after Rey arrived. The force visions she had by simply touching the object are not anything new. In the new canon comics, when Leia goes to Naboo and walks in the hanger where the Maul/Qui-Gonn/Obi-Wan duel took place, she felt cold and had a brief vision of Maul's face. She could sense what happened. I would think that this would work both ways with the force. I think Rey's vision was a combination of the past, present, and future. Remember, Luke could see when Han and Leia were going to be in trouble in Bepsin.
