Obi-Wan Kenobi leaves the door open for a potential season 2 but is more of the Star Wars series in the works at Disney+?
If Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 were to be greenlit, it’d likely be a while before we actually see it on our screens. This after years of being very vocal about not being particularly fond of the galaxy far, far away after his experiences with the Prequel Trilogy. But McGregor has said that the years have softened him up, especially the way his Star Wars movies have been re-examined by fans today. “We always focused on this as a complete six-part story,” Harold told Den of Geek magazine in April. To approach it in any other way would have “felt like hubris, like lurking,” says the writer. There’s obviously another 10 years before we get to A New Hope and with a character like Obi-Wan Kenobi, I think even just watching him ride across the sand sometimes is interesting. “You know, we always did conceive of this as a limited series,” she told Radio Times ahead of the finale. The final scenes of the show certainly suggest that this is the end of the road.
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.
The Obi-Wan Kenobi finale ties up all of the show's loose ends, but what do the final scenes mean for the future of the Star Wars timeline? Spoilers ahead.
It’s Qui-Gon who will show his apprentice how to become one with the Force, so that when Vader strikes him down in A New Hope, Obi-Wan will become stronger than the Sith Lord could possibly imagine. After all, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon’s reunion on Tatooine was set up all the way back in 2005 when Yoda revealed in Revenge of the Sith that he had some new training for the Jedi that would teach him how to communicate with his master’s Force ghost. Obi-Wan calls out to Qui-Gon and receives no response for the first five episodes. Princess Leia, and her parents Bail and Breha Organa, get a very happy ending on Obi-Wan Kenobi. Finally reunited on Alderaan, the Organa family bids farewell to Obi-Wan, hopeful for better days to come. For many of the same continuity reasons Darth Vader couldn’t die in this series: Luke still has a lot to do in the decades to come. (Probably something Death Star related?) This scene explains why Vader didn’t spend the next nine years leading up to A New Hope searching for Obi-Wan. The Emperor told him no. By the end of the episode, Reva begins to realize that her thirst for revenge almost led her down a path from which she would never return. As you’ll see in a few years, the ability to forgive and show mercy is what will ultimately allow Luke Skywalker to defeat the Emperor and save his father. Obi-Wan doesn’t give in and instead spares his former apprentice’s life, while coming to terms with the fact that he can’t save Anakin. Like many Legends characters before her, she could choose to leave her connection to the Force behind entirely in order to start fresh. There was always only one way Obi-Wan Kenobi could end: with the Jedi Master riding off into the sunset with his plot armor, Darth Vader defeated, and Luke and Leia back home safe. In nine years, two droids will crash land on Tatooine with a message from Leia that will set both Luke and Obi-Wan on an adventure that will change their lives forever.
He was particularly excited to reunite with Hayden Christensen, who plays everyone's favourite baddie: Darth Vader AKA Anakin Skywalker AKA Luke and Leia's ...
The next Star Wars series that viewers can look forward to is the third season of The Mandalorian next year. Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi is available to watch on Disney+ Season two of Obi-Wan Kenobi is not a total impossibility either.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Ewan McGregor's Disney Plus miniseries, has been a triumphant return for the franchise that has balanced action with comforting ...
The reunion was actually set up way back in 2005 during Revenge of the Sith, when Yoga told Obi he’d developed some new training that would allow him to communicate with his old master. Catering for fans that stretch back to every decade since the '70s, we want these cockle-warming moments of mild fan service, and we’d feel cheated if they weren’t there. The best onscreen twists manage to be both completely surprising and feel utterly inevitable.
Namely, while Moses Ingram's Reva got a decent character arc, the core cast of Leia, Obi-Wan and Anakin didn't see much progression (if any) over the course of ...
These similarities give her depth, although seem to have flown over the heads of fans who think she’s annoying or whiny (both accurate Anakin descriptors). Unfortunately for Star Wars, it’s made more pressing by the ever-increasing number of shows on the horizon and the apparent apprehension around introducing new characters. Looking forward we can only hope that Star Wars manages to escape the gravitational pull of its own legacy. At the start of the show, Obi-Wan is watching over Luke on Tatooine because he’s worried about the Empire finding him. They require skill to wield because the slightest slip-up could cause something grisly to happen. Unfortunately, every other piece of Star Wars media prevents this natural next step from being taken.
The first season of much anticipated Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi starring Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen has come to a dramatic end on Disney Plus.
So while a second season has not yet been confirmed by Disney, it’s too early to rule it out. If the second season were to feature a time jump it’s possible that Luke and Leia may be played by different actors who are a bit older. Obi-Wan damages Vader’s helmet and sees how disfigured he is.
Kathleen Kennedy has said that Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 might happen if Star Wars fans make it known that they'd like to see more of the Disney Plus show.
Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 certainly left it open for more of this particular corner of a long, long time ago. Like MCU TV series WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a one-and-done instalment. “For this one, we really did conceive it to be a limited series.
Obi-Wan Kenobi's season one finale brought back a fan favourite character and people are absolutely losing it.
But it begs for a season 2. And have Liam Neeson be a bigger role!” “When I thought the series were out of surprises then pulled out Liam Neeson as Qui Gon Jinn at the end of the ep I SCREAMED,” wrote another.
Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon Jinn and Ian McDiarmid's Emperor Palpatine both appeared in the finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the latest Star Wars series on Disney Plus.
Neeson isn’t the only Star Wars veteran who returned for the final episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The show also features a brief scene with Ian McDiarmid’s Emperor Palpatine, though his appearance in heavy makeup and through hologram could disguise a lot of digital lifting, including the speech simulation technology Lucasfilm is now known for leveraging. And it’s true that it’d be hard to find a bigger screen than the Volume, the massive LCD screen technology Lucasfilm leverages to give the Star Wars TV shows their stunning vistas without on-location shoots. “Yeah, I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to TV, I must admit, I just like the big screen, you know?”
With critics and 'Star Wars' fans praising 'Obi-Wan Kenobi,' Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy says season two is possible.
Until something is made official, Star Wars fans will have to settle for Ahsoka and season three of The Mandalorian. Chances are those fans aren’t complaining. After receiving high praise from fans and critics, there is a possibility that Star Wars fans can look forward to Obi-Wan Kenobi season two. As a matter of fact, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen have both said there is more to explore and that they want Obi-Wan Kenobi season two.
Star Wars fans were floored when Liam Neeson made his return to a galaxy far, far away in the series finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+.
I got to be a Jedi. I got to play with those wonderful lightsabers and stuff. And given how much time has passed since Neeson last played the character, it was hard to determine his interest in donning his Jedi robes one more time. “I am proud of it and proud to have been a part of it.
Actor Liam Neeson spoke about Disney+'s Star Wars series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, during a new interview.
Liam Neeson has had a pretty illustrious career and starred in a wide variety of movies. Plus, Ewan [McGregor] is a pal, and I loved working with him during The Phantom Menace 25 years ago.” Disney+ and Lucasfilm's latest Star Wars streaming series Obi-Wan Kenobi sees fan-favorite Ewan McGregor step back into the robes of the legendary Jedi Master whom he was famous for playing in the three prequel trilogy films.
Ewan McGregor returned as Jedi master Obi-Wan, a role he hasn't portrayed in 15 years.
- Rya Kihlstedt as The Fourth Sister, - Marisé Álvarez as Nyche, - Sung Kang as The Fifth Inquisitor, - Rupert Friend as The Grand Inquisitor, But we’ll see.” It really is one big story with a beginning, middle and end.
Obi-Wan Kenobi saw the return of a Star Wars legend in a cool cameo. Now, the actor reveals why they wanted to return.
I got to be a Jedi. I got to play with those wonderful lightsabers and stuff. “I am proud of it and proud to have been a part of it. There was even a nod to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for fans of the video game.
As the latest Star Wars show on Disney Plus, Obi-Wan Kenobi was also the first in live action to revisit the prequel era and the fallout from Episode III ...
Ultimately, Obi-Wan Kenobi is an uneven work about a man no longer certain of his place in a massive and still-ongoing undertaking. Darth Vader in name vows to become Darth Vader in purpose, laying aside his failed attempts at revenge to fully become the gloved fist of a fascist Emperor. It can’t be understated that the uphill struggle for resonance Obi-Wan Kenobi faced is a problem of Star Wars’ own design. Obi-Wan never says this theme out loud, but it’s the reason why the show can still feel worthwhile in spite of its status as a prequel where the fates of most major characters are known from the outset, particularly its protagonist. There’s a tragic story here, one that you can infer from Ingram’s performance — as Reva is continually broken down and built back up in her quest for revenge — but it’s one that strains credulity as Reva’s story ends with her in pursuit of Luke Skywalker, even if her goal of killing Vader is now long gone. He doesn’t speak as much as he used to, but his actions tell a story — hiding from view and scrambling from fights in the first half of the show, and moving and fighting with determination in the second half.
