Over the past few years, Disney has made major investments in Star Wars, releasing several new streaming shows from the Star Wars universe on its Disney+ streaming service. Unfortunately, the gamble didn't quite work out for the series, and the shows were unable to gain enough momentum for many seasons, with “The Acolyte” being dropped after just one season and “The Book of Boba Fett” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi” likely never to be They won't get a second season. “The Book of Boba Fett” was a bit complicated because it was very tied into “The Mandalorian,” while “Obi-Wan Kenobi” was originally planned as a film trilogy that was turned into a limited series, with no real plans for a season 2.
Even though it doesn't look like “Obi-Wan Kenobi” will be getting a second season and the series has officially ended, the star of the series and Obi-Wan himself, Ewan McGregor, would love to reprise the role and has some ideas about it. the direction the series could go. The actor shared his impressions of the series and the possibility of a sequel to Los Angeles Comic-Con, and his pitch for Season 2 is exactly what the franchise needs.
A topic that expands on The Clone Wars and fills in the gaps
Obi-Wan has been important to McGregor since he first played him, and he shared some fantastic ideas with convention goers for continuing the character's saga, saying:
“Obi-Wan season 2… There are a few things. I would love to wear this armor, I was talking to someone earlier, from The Clone Wars. I think it would be something I would enjoy.”
He also said he would love to be digitally rejuvenated and return to the Clone Wars, largely because it would give him and his co-star Hayden Christensen, who plays Anakin Skywalker, a chance to “really recover.” together again.” While you could argue that McGregor has aged like fine wine, using a bit of digital trickery to add some of the best animated Star Wars stories to a live-action version would be quite nice. It would further unify the animated canon with the live action canon, and it would just be cool to see McGregor in his Clone Wars armor. Elements of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” were already present in “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” and the fan-favorite “Clone Wars” character almost even featured the same. Commander Cody, but McGregor's suggestion for even more crossovers is excellent.
It fills the gap between the prequels and A New Hope
In addition to wanting to flesh out “The Clone Wars,” McGregor also floated the idea of bridging the gap between the end of the first season of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and the events of “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.” After all, several years had passed between Obi-Wan's last appearance on the show and his appearance as Sir Alec Guinness in A New Hope, and we were able to find out what he was up to on Tatooine. years. (Confused about the timeline? Don't worry, we've got you covered!) McGregor expanded on this, saying, “There has to be a few more stories there and we definitely hope so, well exploration would be the word,” hinting that hopes for more “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and that perhaps other people are involved in continuing this case.
There is one very important fan of the series who could influence pop culture to change the fate of Season 2: series creator George Lucas. Lucas clearly loved “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” and if that's not a blatant endorsement, I don't know what is. Hopefully McGregor will get a chance to pretend to use the Force and have on-screen lightsaber fights with Christensen again, and some of his fantastic ideas for “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Season 2 actually came to fruition.
