Lucasfilm Is “Exploring” A Season 2 Of Obi-Wan Kenobi


Ewan McGregor mentioned at a LA Comic Con panel that Lucasfilm is “exploring” a season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ewan is eager to return as Obi-Wan and also stated previously that he would like to return as the fan favorite character.

Now while Obi-Wan Kenobi had decent ratings, it is the #2 Star Wars show overall on Disney+, fan reception was “mixed” at best. But that doesn’t mean Lucasfilm could not – in theory – learn from their mistakes, hire better writers, more experienced directors / showrunners and give fans an Obi-Wan Kenobi series that deserves the name. The first season  detracted from the experience too much with Leia and Reva, any potential season 2 should have a laser sharp focus on the actual main character.

Anyway, what are your thoughts here? Would you like to see a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi? Or do you think Lucasfilm is ultimately incapable of making any good content these days?

One things is clear, there aren’t many options left for Lucasfilm. For all we know The Mandalorian is over, it will never return to Disney+ and at best be a movie series going forward. Skeleton Crew will flop, this is almost inevitable. Andor will not be a crowd pleaser next year, even if it’s great. Ahsoka is just “meh” and the show suffers from a boring main protagonist with the charisma of a wet towel, also, many feel that Ahsoka will result in a discount store Thrawn trilogy. In short: Lucasfilm needs something that attracts people again. And Ewan McGregor, despite the first season of Obi-Wan Kenobi, is the biggest name they still have, who is reasonably young and who can carry a series, without the use of CGI or deepfakes. While a potential Cal Kestis series could also turn out great, it’s unproven how successful this show can be. And Lucasfilm definitely needs more than just one series in the near future. Because after Ahsoka season 2 in potentially 2026 there is literally nothing.
