Obi Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi may not return for another season on Disney Plus, but that doesn’t rule out more Star Wars content coming our way – for instance, Moses Ingram as Reva could feature in another season!
Deborah Chow, showrunner for this series, says it was never intended to run for multiple seasons and therefore leaves open the option of an additional installment.
Deborah Chow, showrunner for Obi-Wan Kenobi has not ruled out a second season; actor Ewan McGregor has expressed enthusiasm at returning as Kenobi.
Vivien Lyra Blair, who played Princess Leia as a young girl in Season One, has expressed interest in returning as young Leia in Season Two. This would make her a perfect fit for a second season which could focus on Leia’s time on Alderaan. In Season One Moses Ingram played Reva Sevander while Jimmy Smits portrayed Bail Organa; Simone Kessell represented Breha Organa while Bonnie Piesse performed her duties.
After defeating Darth Vader in Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi retreated to Tatooine and kept an eye on young Luke Skywalker while keeping tabs on Imperial Inquisitors who were on an anti-Jedi mission after Order 66 was implemented.
Season one of this show explored Obi-Wan’s self-imposed exile and battle against Anakin’s Force ghost. A second season could explore their dynamic more closely.
Although no official announcement has been made yet, director Deborah Chow has reignited hope that there could be another season. Ewan McGregor has indicated his interest in returning for another installment.
Obi-Wan Kenobi left viewers hanging with an abrupt ending last season; fans are eagerly awaiting season two. It takes place 10 years after the Revenge of the Sith when Anakin turned to Dark Side and became Darth Vader.
Vivien Lyra Blair, who portrays Princess Leia on Star Wars, recently expressed interest in creating a spin-off series. Most recently she appeared in Bird Box and will play Billie in Michael Keaton’s Goodrich.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy may have dismissed any chance for a second season, yet Blair remains hopeful and recently expressed her wish for it to continue airing on Disney+. The first season premiered in 2022 to positive reviews from critics; Ewan McGregor played Obi-Wan Kenobi alongside Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader; with other talented actors such as Moses Ingram, Vivien Lyra Blair and Kumail Nanjiani filling in roles like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader as well as Moses Ingram Moses Ingram Kumail Nanjiani among others playing roles within it.
Obi-Wan Kenobi quickly proved an astounding hit for Disney+ when it first debuted in May 2022, featuring Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprising their roles from the prequel trilogy. The series followed Obi-Wan on his journey away from Imperial control ten years after Revenge of the Sith but before A New Hope.
McGregor has been very enthusiastic about a potential second season, as have other cast members. Moses Ingram made an excellent first impression as Reva Sevander and could stay if there is another installment of The Leftovers.
Smits made his television debut as Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza in the NBC drama Outlaw and has gone on to enjoy an extensive career on television. Most recently he guest starred on Showtime series Dexter while his El Sendero Productions company currently has multiple projects underway.
Since Disney Plus unveiled its first season of Obi-Wan Kenobi, fans have been eagerly awaiting any confirmation about whether there will be a second. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has not completely disproved of a continuation; she has only hinted at its possibility.
The first season of this series focused on how Kenobi managed to remain a Jedi Knight even during his years of seclusion. A second season could explore his skills and ideals in spite of galactic oppression.
Moses Ingram’s Reva made an indelible mark in this initial run, so it would be devastating for her character to die at the conclusion. Perhaps we will get glimpses of her again through flashbacks later.
If there is another season of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen may return to their roles; but this remains speculation.
Disney Plus is currently streaming season one of this show, directed by Canadian director Deborah Chow – known for helming episodes from Better Call Saul, American Gods and Lost in Space as well as writing by Joby Harold who also worked on Edge of Tomorrow and John Wick 3.
Moses Ingram plays Owen Lars, with Vivien Lyra Blair portraying Leia Organa and Jimmy Smits playing Bail Organa; Simone Kessell as Jaina Solo Kumail Nanjiani plays Conman Haja and Indira Varma plays escapee Jedi Nari; while Rupert Friend portrays the Grand Inquisitor for this TV series.
Joel Edgerton is an Australian actor and film director who earned a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in 2016 historical drama Loving. Additionally, he appeared as Owen Lars in Star Wars prequel trilogy films as well as appearing in Yojimbo and The Fate of the Furious films.
Edgerton recently addressed speculation surrounding a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Lucasfilm, while remaining hopeful but acknowledging it’s not their top priority at this time.
The initial season of this limited series centers around Kenobi as an influential mentor of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and their enduring friendship, particularly relating to young Princess Leia (Vivian Lyra Blair). Additionally, other relationships Kenobi may form during his exile are explored as well as interactions with old and new characters alike.
Ewan McGregor will reprise his role of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen will reprise as Darth Vader. Other key characters from the first season included Princess Leia Vivien Lyra Blair, Flea as bounty hunter Vect Nokru, O’Shea Jackson Jr as Roken, Moses Ingram as Jedi fugitive Reva Sevander and Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars.
The series takes place ten years after Revenge of the Sith and follows Kenobi as he stays hidden on Tatooine to protect Luke Skywalker while dodging an army of Sith Inquisitors led by Grand Inquisitor Vader and Maul. Deborah Chow has hinted that this inquisitorial force may also include Maul himself; we briefly saw him appear briefly as an electronic hologram in Solo.
