Last week we shared some quotes from a recent interview with Kathleen Kennedy about the future of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and she was very non-committal about any future for the character. Now in the latest episode of Crew Call, Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi’s executive producer Deborah Chow acknowledged that the series was originally hatched as a standalone movie. She goes on to say not to close the door just yet…
As far as more Obi-Wan Kenobi? “This was conceived as a limited series; it is closed,” says Chow. However, “There’s 10 more years before New Hope, so never say never.”
There seems to be too much “non-news” about this series for there not to be something in the works. First was Ewan McGregor all over Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, and him coming out at the end just to hype up the crowd. It was almost as if he was scheduled to come out and announce something, but was kind of pulled at the last second.
Then we have Kathleen Kennedy saying not right now, but thinking about it. Now we have Deborah Chow saying, “never say never…” It sounds like something is up indeed at Lucasfilm, but only time will tell.
Would you be interested in a second season of Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi? Leave your thoughts in the appropriate places.
