Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2

Will 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' return for a second season on Disney+? Here's the latest on the series' potential renewal.

That appears to be the $1 million question at Disney+ and Lucasfilm. But we’ll see.” So, we weren’t thinking past that.”

Obi-Wan Kenobi stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen are open to the idea of continuing their characters' stories for a second season of the Disney+ ...

The sixth and final part of Obi-Wan Kenobi dropped on Disney+ on June 22, and it featured a major Star Wars cameo that is sure to get viewers talking. "Well, it was definitely conceived as a standalone story. It seems that Christensen isn't quite ready to hang up his helmet either.

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.

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.

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.

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.
