In exciting news for Star Wars fans, Ewan McGregor, the legendary actor known for his portrayal of Obi-Wan Kenobi, has expressed his hope for a second season of the highly acclaimed Obi-Wan Kenobi series. The first season, which premiered in 2022, consisted of six episodes and featured an epic showdown between the exiled Jedi Master and his former apprentice turned Sith Lord, Darth Vader. McGregor's desire for the story to continue was made known during a panel at MegaCon Orlando 2024, where he humorously urged attendees to write to Disney to support the project.
Originally envisioned as a movie, the Obi-Wan Kenobi series underwent a transformation, becoming a longer and more immersive storytelling experience. McGregor reflected on this change during the panel, acknowledging the benefits of the series format. He stated, 'There was originally gonna be a movie, and I've often thought, should it have been a movie? But I kinda think it's great that they did it that way, and it's a longer story, and hopefully it's more satisfying as a result. We got more time to weave a story. Let's hope they do another one. Can everyone write to Disney?'
