Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2

Obi-Wan Kenobi leaves the door open for a potential season 2 but is more of the Star Wars series in the works at Disney+?

If Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 were to be greenlit, it’d likely be a while before we actually see it on our screens. This after years of being very vocal about not being particularly fond of the galaxy far, far away after his experiences with the Prequel Trilogy. But McGregor has said that the years have softened him up, especially the way his Star Wars movies have been re-examined by fans today. “We always focused on this as a complete six-part story,” Harold told Den of Geek magazine in April. To approach it in any other way would have “felt like hubris, like lurking,” says the writer. There’s obviously another 10 years before we get to A New Hope and with a character like Obi-Wan Kenobi, I think even just watching him ride across the sand sometimes is interesting. “You know, we always did conceive of this as a limited series,” she told Radio Times ahead of the finale. The final scenes of the show certainly suggest that this is the end of the road.

Ewan McGregor is eager for "Obi-Wan" Season 2 on Disney+, but the show's creative team is a bit more hesitant.

And if we feel like, ‘OK, there’s a real reason to do this; it’s answering the why then,’ then we’ll do it. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” has completed its six-episode run on Disney+, which begs the question: will the “Star Wars” series return for Season 2? One person definitely eager for “Obi-Wan” Season 2 is the Jedi himself, Ewan McGregor.

When we learned that Ewan McGregor would reprise his role as Kenobi, LucasFilm and Disney made it very, very clear that the show would be a six-episode event, ...

McGregor asked EW. "Yeah, I would like to make another one." "Would I like to make another one?" Whether or not Obi-Wan Kenobi lived up to the hype is up for you to decide.

Disney+ hasn't announced another season of 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' but its stars are keen on coming back.

In the finale, Obi-Wan is visited by his former Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson), who appears to him as a Force ghost. “You know, I think there's certainly more there to explore and I would be so excited to get to do so.” He added that he’d “certainly be open to” returning for more episodes if Season 2 ultimately does come to pass. According to Obi-Wan Kenobi writer and executive producer Joby Harold, there are no plans for another installment of the series. However, considering the actor’s potentially busy schedule, he did qualify that he may need to take some time between his turns as Obi-Wan. "If I could do one of these every now and again — I'd just be happy about it." Here is everything we know about a potential Season 2 of the popular Star Wars prequel series. Spoilers ahead for Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 1.

It's the question everyone is asking now that the show has wrapped up its six episode run on Disney Plus. But, so far, there's been no official word on the ...

You know, I think there's certainly more there to explore and I would be so excited to get to do so," he said, adding that he "would certainly be open to" appearing in a potential season 2. "There are so many other stories that have been told in these other mediums, and I would love to get to continue my journey with him." Meanwhile, director Deborah Chow, speaking to RadioTimes.com, explained that "this story was very much conceived to be its own standalone," but went on to say: "I mean, there are of course more stories that you could tell. He added: "Yeah, I would like to make another one." After all, Obi-Wan isn't all that forthcoming about his time on Tatooine in the original trilogy, so there's plenty to work with without running the risk of disrupting canon. But, considering Obi-Wan Kenobi is set 10 years before A New Hope on the Star Wars timeline, there's a lot of time and potential stories left to explore.

Star Wars fans are desperate to know whether Ewan McGregor's streaming show Obi-Wan Kenobi will return for season 2 on Disney Plus next year.

Obi-Wan actor Ewan McGregor added: “I hope it’s not the last time I play him. "There's obviously another 10 years before we get to A New Hope and with a character like Obi-Wan Kenobi, I think even just watching him ride across the sand sometimes is interesting. It's hard to say right now, but it was not the intention."

After years of being a possibility, and five weeks of entertaining fans, Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi is officially in the books.

That mindset is true for any of the successful miniseries that have popped up lately, but it's especially true for Obi-Wan Kenobi, when the series exists in one of the biggest and most ever-sprawling fictional narratives in pop culture, where there will inevitably be more stories brought to life. But in terms of Obi-Wan's individual arc, it's tough to imagine a story that would measure up to what we've gotten over the past six episodes, and that would somehow tie together the prequels and the original trilogy in an even stronger way. While a hypothetical second season could easily chronicle more of Obi-Wan watching over Leia and Luke, doing so would grossly undercut his final scenes on the show with both kids, which were arguably among the highlights of the finale. What made Obi-Wan Kenobi work was its mix of the expected and the unexpected, with the show still being able to flourish and brilliantly mirror the first six Star Wars movies while under the "plot armor" of characters like Obi-Wan, Leia, and Anakin surviving well past the events of the show. From the jump, Obi-Wan Kenobi surprised fans with its central premise — not only would the show be following its titular character on a previously-unseen adventure, but that adventure would revolve around protecting a young Princess Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) and bringing her back to Alderaan. Leia's very kidnapping was revealed to be part of a plot from the Empire to draw Obi-Wan out of solitude and into the clasp of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen), who still wanted revenge for what he perceived to be Obi-Wan's betrayal. Even before the finale debuted, speculation began about whether or not more story could be in store, and if the series could get a second season.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has said the creators are open to Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2.

I think, you know, if it was to go forward, it would only be if there was a real reason for another one." Director Deborah Chow, who helmed all six episodes, was less committed to the idea, admitting there would have to be a "real reason" for another season. And if we feel like, 'OK, there’s a real reason to do this; it's answering the why then,' then we’ll do it.

According to Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy, Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 is possible, though it wasn't planned.

Talking to Entertainment Tonight about Obi-Wan Kenobi’s emotional finale, Chow reiterated that the goal of the limited series was to tell a story that could help bridge Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope without worrying about the future. As for which stories a possible Season 2 could explore, we wouldn’t complain if Vivien Lyra Blair were to come back as young Leia, nor if upcoming seasons better explored the rise of the Resistance, maybe with the help of Obi-Wan. As for Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader, the Sith Lord makes a glorious return in Obi-Wan Kenobi but is also rumored to show up in Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka. That’s excellent news, as we all want to see more of scary Vader in future Disney+ productions. However, Star War’s big boss Kathleen Kennedy claims there’s still hope for the series to come back if fans support the idea with enough passion.

Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen sound all in on another season of Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, but will it actually happen?

“Well, frankly, we did set out to do that as a limited series,” she told ET. “But I think if there’s huge engagement and people really want more Obi-Wan, we’ll certainly give that consideration because the fans, they speak to us. But I would love to continue with this character,” he told Radio Times. “You know, I think there’s certainly more there to explore and I would be so excited to get to do so…I would certainly be open to [returning for ‘Obi-Wan’ Season 2].” As Christensen said, the show was conceived as a standalone story, and you can’t really continue a standalone story and still consider it…standalone.

Ewan McGregor returned as Jedi master Obi-Wan, a role he hasn't portrayed in 15 years.

- Rya Kihlstedt as The Fourth Sister, - Marisé Álvarez as Nyche, - Sung Kang as The Fifth Inquisitor, - Rupert Friend as The Grand Inquisitor, But we’ll see.” It really is one big story with a beginning, middle and end.
