Is Anyone Even Excited for an Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2?

Is Anyone Even Excited for an Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2?

Star Wars fans were left with a high with the end of Andor Season 2, and a lot of people are wondering what Lucasfilm is going to be delivering next on their movie or TV slate.

We know that some films are underway, but there is a rumor going around that a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi is in the works… but does anyone even care about that anymore?

In the comments about a possible Season 2 of Kenobi in the works, people have just been talking about, ‘more slop incoming,’ and my favorite take:

Looking back, Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett were considered low points for Star Wars television. Besides the lackluster storytelling, the series had been criticized for leaning too heavily on nostalgia and familiar characters rather than actually telling a compelling, character-driven story.

In the series’ defense, Kenobi did end with a cliffhanger teasing more things to come for Ben Kenobi, and both Kenobi and Boba Fett were originally planned to be theatrically released films before they were retooled to be Disney+ shows.

As someone who deeply enjoyed Solo: A Star Wars Story, I would prefer if they turned this Kenobi follow-up into a movie; but even at this point, we don’t know for sure if Lucasfilm really is planning something. I would rather just get a new season confirmed for The Acolyte or Skeleton Crew.

Should Ewan McGregor come back as Obi-Wan, it would have to be on the big screen. At least, that’s my opinion.

For now, catch Obi-Wan Kenobi now streaming on Disney+.
