Directed by Deborah Chow Obi-Wan Kenobi mini series have completed its first season successfully. The series reunited famous Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi with his former Padawan turned Sixth Lord, Darth Vader, for a climactic adventure that bridges the gap between the Star Wars prequels and the original trilogy.
Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 has gotten a lot of attention, but is it actually happening? For many years, there was no official news regarding an Obi-Wan Kenobi project, despite the fact that it was the most requested sequel to the Star Wars prequels.
Keep reading the article, if you are curious for the season two of Obi-Wan Kenobi and if you are a fan who is eagerly waiting for the next season.
Season 2, release date of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’
No, Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 isn’t happening right now. The show has not been formally renewed, although the actors and crew have discussed returning for a second season. Ewan McGregor has stated that he is open to a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi, as has director Deborah Chow, who also stated that Obi-Wan Kenobi was created as a limited series and so does not contain any obvious setup for a second season.
However, there are nine years of storylines between when Season 1 concludes and when A New Hope begins, thus Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 is always a possibility.
Plot ideas for season 2
Obi-Wan Kenobi was a true hermit when the Obi-Wan Kenobi series began, living a life apart from civilization. He’d broken his connection to the Force and buried his lightsaber. By the time A New Hope arrives, Obi-Wan has reconnected with the Force and is carrying both his lightsaber and Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber.
Star Wars fans are already aware that Obi-Wan battles and kills Maul on Tatooine before to A New Hope, so learning more about his life before that point would make for an exciting second season.
What does Cast and Crew have to say on season 2 of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’?
EWAN MCGREGOR
Speaking to British GQ, the actor seems receptive to the notion.
“I truly hope we do another,” he remarked. “I’d be pleased if I could do one of them every now and again.”
HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN
Hayden Christensen told Radio Times, “It was clearly planned as a single narrative.” “However, I’d want to keep working with this character.” You know, I believe there’s definitely more to discover, and I’d be thrilled to do so.”
DEBORAH CHOW
“There’s definitely another 10 years until we get to A New Hope and with a guy like Obi-Wan Kenobi,” she remarked. “I believe just watching him gallop through the beach is entertaining at times.” So, who knows? It’s difficult to say right now, but it was not the intention.”
Chow’s comment is rather illuminating. For one thing, she affirms that Obi-Wan Kenobi was never intended to be a multi-season show. She does, however, point out that there is still lot of opportunity to explore between Season 1 and A New Hope in a prospective Season 2.
According to one source from Making Star Wars, which has a proven track record of reliable Lucasfilm leaks, the studio is actively investigating the notion. Apparently, Season 1’s streaming statistics were enough to start the dialogue, and even led to rewrites that kept series nemesis Reva alive so she could appear in Season 2.
