Obi-Wan came in May 2022; honestly, it was my favorite show of 2022 by a country mile.
The show was set between the events of Episodes 3 and 4. It shows Obi-Wan living in exile watching over a young Luke. The Inquisitors and Vader begin hunting Kenobi and all hell breaks loose basically.
The show wasn’t well-liked. There were a lot of people who disliked the show but what it brought to the table was everything. Hayden Christensen’s return as Vader was also perfect.
One of the main reasons I want a second season is predominately due to the Inquisitors. This was the first time we got them in live-action. They weren’t universally liked but I enjoyed what they brought to live-action.
It makes sense they would still hunt Kenobi. Vader lost to Kenobi again in the finale. There’s no way Vader lets that slide. It makes sense he would still send his Inquisitors to find him to finish him off once and for all.
There is also another reason why a season 2 could work well.
Darth Maul.
We know in the Rebels show Maul hunts for Kenobi and does eventually find him. They battle and Maul loses once more to Obi-Wan but actually loses his life in the process.
It would be great to see Maul again in live-action. He was shown in a hologram in the Solo movie, but we’ve had no news on that, which is a shame.
There are 19 years between the events of Episodes 3 and 4. This means there’s so much that can theoretically happen.
Plus, it’s Ewan McGregor. He literally embodies the character in every single way. He was also one of the few characters from the prequels that were adored by fans. I would love to make sure we get as much of him as we possibly can before it’s too late.
The Star Wars Celebration panel is next week from April 7th. You can see more information about this by clicking here. There’s every chance we could be given the green lights for a few movies/shows alongside some trailers for potentially Ashoka.
