“I really hope we’ll do another one. If I could act in one of these once in a while, I’d be happy.”. Ewan McGregor already said it: if it were up to him, we would have ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ for a while. But this “Star Wars” series, who made sure to design a very open ending for his first seasonwas conceived as a miniseries, something his team tried to remember until two days ago.
Joby Harold himself, the lead screenwriter, said he had thought about this TV drama for a long time “like a closed story”, that simply nothing was raised further.
Now the same Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, specifies what we all suspected: that if galactic fandom really loves Disney + season one, obviously Lucasfilm would think about how to continue that story. “Frankly, we approached this adventure as a limited series, but I think if there’s a big impact and fans really want more Obi-Wan, we’ll definitely consider it because we always listen to followers. If we feel there is a real reason to do a second season, If we can find a sufficient reason, then we will.. But we’ll see “assures in statements to etonline.
For her part, even Deborah Chow, director of the first season, does not close the door, ensuring him “of course there are more stories that could be told. Obviously, there are another 10 years before we get to “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” and with a character like Obi-Wan Kenobi, I think even seeing him ride through the arena is interesting at times. So who knows? It’s hard to say now, but it wasn’t the intention”he tells RadioTimes.
The truth is that this timeframe mentioned by Chow is shrinking and that although there is still room until the beginning of the original trilogy, the character’s appearance in “Star Wars Rebels” should be taken into consideration.
Ewan and Hayden say: yes
Kennedy, head of Lucasfilm is considering giving the green light to a second season of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’, a project that, judging by the enthusiasm of the rest of the team, could start tomorrow. Hayden Christensen, also speaking to RadioTimes, stressed that he would like to continue with this character. “I think there is more to explore and I would be very excited to be able to do it”assures the actor emphasizing it “would surely be open” to a season 2.
On the other hand, McGregor cannot stop campaigning for his Jedi Master to continue his galactic missions. In addition to the aforementioned enthusiasm shared through GQ, the actor reiterated that he hopes that part VI of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ “This is not the last time I play” to the beloved character. “I had a lot of fun shooting the first season, I’m sure we can think of other stories before I become Alec Guinness.Do not you think?”.
Until the team removes all doubts from us the next thing is “Andor”, on August 31st on Disney +.
