The possibility of a season 2 for Obi-Wan Kenobi was discussed by director Deborah Chow. Originally conceived to be a film, the project evolved into a series following the unfortunate failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story at the box office. Obi-Wan Kenobi eventually aired on Disney+ at the end of May, recounting one of the possible epics of Obi-Wan, ten years after his fight against Anakin. The series has broken the audience records of the streaming platform Disney+, the reviews are also quite positive, episode 5 culminating in general satisfaction.
During the preparation for the release ofObi-Wan Kenobi, we learned, hinting that it would only last one season. The story takes place nine years before the events of first star wars moviewhich means that there could still be a lot to cover, especially when looking seriously at the exile ofObi Wan on Tatooine. Ewan McGregor recently expressed hope for a season 2 ofObi-Wan Kenobitoday it’s the director’s turn to open the debate.

In an interview with Radio Times, Deborah Chow talked about the chances of seeing a season 2 come true. Although she reiterated that Obi-Wan Kenobi was a limited series, she admitted that there were more things to tell about a character as legendary as Obi-Wan.
“You know, we always designed this series as a limited series. So it’s not some kind of adventure of the week. It’s a big story with a beginning, a middle and an end. So I think this story was made to stand on its own… I mean, there are of course other stories you could tell. There’s obviously another 10 years before we get to A New Hope, and with a character like Obi-Wan Kenobi, I think just seeing him riding across the sand is interesting at times. So who knows? It’s hard to say right now, but that wasn’t the intention. »
