Obi-Wan Kenobi may be billed as a restricted sequence, however, based on director Deborah Chow, a season 2 is not completely out of the query.
The sequence noticed Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen return to their Star Wars roles in a narrative set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
“You at all times suppose you are going to finish a sequence like this in some magnificent means, however as a substitute you find yourself in a car parking zone with second unit and hardly anyone there,” recalled Chow in dialog with The Hollywood Reporter. “It is at all times so anticlimactic, however as Ewan and I completed our final shot on second unit and I used to be actually taking off my headphones, he was already pitching me concepts for season 2. There’s one other 10 years with loads of tales, and I do not suppose it’s off the board. It’s a ‘by no means say by no means’ scenario, however we actually did conceive this to be a restricted sequence.”
By the sounds of it, then, there are at present no plans for an Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 – however that does not imply we’ll by no means see McGregor again once more sometime.
“I at all times hesitate to say no to extra Obi-Wan Kenobi,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy mentioned earlier this yr. “Perhaps we find yourself doing one thing that will get integrated into among the different tales that we’re doing, or ultimately right into a film, however who is aware of? However proper now, it is nonetheless our commonplace stand-alone restricted sequence, we’ve no plans for enlargement proper now.”
Whereas we do not know once we’ll subsequent be seeing McGregor’s Obi-Wan, Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker can be again within the upcoming Ahsoka present. After some forwards and backwards over whether or not he actually would seem once more, Star Wars let it slip in a merchandise description, then a teaser lastly confirmed his return.
Ahsoka arrives this August 23 in a double season premiere on Disney Plus. For way more on the present, try our explainers on:
