The sixth and final episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi has hit Disney+, bringing an end to the highly anticipated original series. Obi-Wan Kenobi sees Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprising their roles from the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Set ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), it follows Kenobi on a rescue mission to save a kidnapped Princess Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) from the Galactic Empire, leading to a confrontation with his former apprentice and friend Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader.
The series has been a treat for fans of the prequel trilogy, and a welcome opportunity for McGregor and Christensen to revisit the critically maligned prequels. And while Obi-Wan Kenobi has always been billed as a miniseries, fans can’t help but wonder if a season 2 might be on the horizon—and we have at least some kind of answer. Showrunner Joby Harold previously discussed a potential second season on the Deadline podcast, saying, “I’m being asked about it constantly. I’ve just been thinking about this for so long as a close-ended story that my mind is so focused on this as a sort of limited [series], that I haven’t thought beyond it … But he’s a great character. They’re all amazing characters.” But now, we’ve got more of the team behind the show weighing in.
