Ewan McGregor talked about at a LA Comedian Con panel that Lucasfilm is “exploring” a season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ewan is raring to return as Obi-Wan and likewise said beforehand that he want to return because the fan favourite character.
Now whereas Obi-Wan Kenobi had respectable rankings, it’s the #2 Star Wars present total on Disney+, fan reception was “blended” at finest. However that doesn’t imply Lucasfilm couldn’t – in idea – be taught from their errors, rent higher writers, extra skilled administrators / showrunners and provides followers an Obi-Wan Kenobi sequence that deserves the identify. The primary season detracted from the expertise an excessive amount of with Leia and Reva, any potential season 2 ought to have a laser sharp deal with the precise major character.
Anyway, what are your ideas right here? Would you prefer to see a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi? Or do you suppose Lucasfilm is finally incapable of creating any good content material as of late?
One issues is obvious, there aren’t many choices left for Lucasfilm. For all we all know The Mandalorian is over, it can by no means return to Disney+ and at finest be a film sequence going ahead. Skeleton Crew will flop, that is nearly inevitable. Andor won’t be a crowd pleaser subsequent 12 months, even when it’s nice. Ahsoka is simply “meh” and the present suffers from a boring major protagonist with the charisma of a moist towel, additionally, many really feel that Ahsoka will lead to a reduction retailer Thrawn trilogy. In brief: Lucasfilm wants one thing that draws individuals once more. And Ewan McGregor, regardless of the primary season of Obi-Wan Kenobi, is the largest identify they nonetheless have, who is fairly younger and who can carry a sequence, with out the usage of CGI or deepfakes. Whereas a possible Cal Kestis sequence might additionally prove nice, it’s unproven how profitable this present might be. And Lucasfilm positively wants greater than only one sequence within the close to future. As a result of after Ahsoka season 2 in probably 2026 there’s actually nothing.
The final finest hope for Star Wars on Disney+?
