But now there are some possible developments regarding the series not mentioned earlier, Obi-Wan Kenobi. According to a new report from insider Daniel Richtman, season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi is currently in development at Lucasfilm. This show originally aired in 2022, and being “in development” likely means there would be a gap of 4-5 years between seasons, which seems to be the current pace for Disney’s Star Wars projects.

The series received a decent 81% score from critics but only a 61% score from fans, and it's one of those shows that many fans may actually like even less with time. However, its viewership numbers were solid, and it’s widely known that both Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen are eager to return for more. Here’s what McGregor had to say back in October 2024 about the possibility of a season 2:

“Obviously, between the end of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series and when Alec Guinness portrays Obi-Wan Kenobi, there must be a few more stories in between,” McGregor explained. “We’re definitely hoping, or perhaps exploring—that’s probably the right word.”

One major question is what these future stories might entail and how they’ll align with existing canon, especially since Dave Filoni’s animated series have already covered some of this period. It’s also unclear how Hayden Christensen could reappear as Vader—would there be yet another encounter between him and Obi-Wan before A New Hope? That does seem a bit far-fetched, much like certain parts of season 1, such as the extended storyline focused on young Princess Leia. There was also a suggestion of potentially introducing a younger Luke later on.

As for Christensen, fans have warmly welcomed his return to the Star Wars universe, seeing it as something of a redemption arc for him, especially considering his initial films weren’t very well received at the time. His appearances in Obi-Wan Kenobi—both in flashbacks and as Darth Vader—and a brief appearance in an Ahsoka dream sequence have been met with enthusiasm.

This information remains a rumor for now, but as always, it appears Disney has no intention of moving away from the Skywalker saga anytime soon—except perhaps for the upcoming film Dawn of the Jedi, which would take place much earlier in the timeline. Whether or not that ever comes to fruition remains to be seen.
