Will Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 Happen? (Den of Geek)

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.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Season 2: Ewan McGregor 'Hopes We Do Another ... (Variety)

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.

Ewan McGregor & Hayden Christensen Are Also Hoping For 'Obi ... (Bustle)

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.

Star Wars: Why Obi-Wan Kenobi Does Not Need a Season 2 (Comicbook.com)

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 recently dropped the final episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the latest Disney Plus Tv show set in the massive world of Star Wars.

However, Chow confirmed to Radiotimes that the studio approached Obi-Wan Kenobi as a standalone story. “You know, I think there’s certainly more there to explore, and I would be so excited to get to do so,” the actor said in the interview. Now, Star Wars fans who loved experiencing a new journey of Kenobi against Anakin Skywalker want the show to return with the second season.

Kathleen Kennedy has given her view on where the future lies for Obi-Wan Kenobi in a new interview.

For now, Obi-Wan Kenobi has done what many Star Wars projects have failed to do, receiving almost unanimous praise and managing to deliver a finale that ensured the show went out with a bang. It has been almost 20 years since fans last saw these two iconic characters come face to face with each other, and that is what has made Obi-Wan Kenobi a welcome addition to the Star Wars saga. Obi-Wan Kenobi has built its story over the last several weeks, ending with a stunning finale that delivered all that it promised along with a number of surprise cameos.

What Are The Odds Of Getting Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2? (/FILM)

This post contains major spoilers for the series (season?) finale of "Obi-Wan Kenobi." After five surprisingly-short weeks, Ewan McGregor's return as ...

It's not hard to pick out the few characters and storylines ripe for a bit more exploration, like Reva and the Inquisitors, Quinlan Vos, or even the Force-sensitive refugees that Kenobi encountered on Jabiim. Ultimately time will tell, but it's clear that we're living through a true "Star Wars" renaissance. There's certainly a chance that "Kenobi" could get a second life on the streamer, but does it make sense for the narrative at large? A second season could give "Kenobi" a chance to redeem itself, but all those disparate threads could also make promising spin-offs of their own. There's certainly a desire to see "Star Wars" return to movies — in fact, the series was originally meant to be a film — but with mixed results from films like " Solo: A Star Wars Story" and the sequel trilogy, it doesn't seem like Lucasfilm is ready for that just yet. The actor has been popping up here and there all across "Star Wars" media for a few years now. It's hard to accept the "Kenobi" finale for what it is, especially with the arrival of Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson), Kenobi's late master.
