Ewan McGregor is Holding Out Hope For ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Season 2
At this point in his career, Ewan McGregor is a Star Wars legend.
Despite being open about how difficult it was making the Star Wars prequel trilogy, McGregor has fully embraced his status with Star Wars fans in recent years.
In fact, since returning to the franchise, the actor has had nothing but good things to say about Star Wars and its legions of fans.
McGregor, of course, made his triumphant return to a galaxy far, far away for 2022’s Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries. The project was a long time coming, having been originally pitched as a standalone movie.
‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ The Movie?
After Solo bombed at the box office, however, Lucasfilm halted plans for the Obi-Wan flick. Eventually, the premise was reworked into the Disney+ series.
At MegaCon last weekend, McGregor reflected back on his Star Wars return and the transition that Obi-Wan Kenobi went through.
“There was originally gonna be a movie, and I’ve often thought, should it have been a movie? But I kinda think it’s great that they did it that way. And it’s a longer story, and hopefully it’s more satisfying as a result. We got more time to weave a story,” he said.
Will we see an ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2?
While Obi-Wan was initially envisioned as a limited series, Star Wars fans have continued to hold out hope that the series will return for a second season.
Although Kathleen Kennedy has been open about the fact that a Season 2 of the series remains unlikely, McGregor would be open to returning.
“Let’s hope they do another one. Can everyone write to Disney?” he said to thunderous applause.
With Obi-Wan reconnecting with the Force at the end of the series, it would seem that there are still more stories that Lucasfilm could tell. As McGregor seems open to a return, and fan demand is clearly there, Star Wars would be remiss in not telling more Obi-Wan stories while they can.
