Obi-Wan Kenobi may not be getting season 2, but he could return in a movie

Obi-Wan Kenobi hit the small screen almost a year ago, but the show's status as a miniseries has further been solidified by Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy. 

"I always hesitate to say no to more Obi-Wan Kenobi," Kennedy told the Dagobah Dispatch podcast. "Maybe we end up doing something that gets incorporated into some of the other stories that we're doing, or eventually into a movie, but who knows? But right now, it's still our standard stand-alone limited series, we have no plans for expansion right now."

Ewan McGregor reprised his role as the titular Jedi Master from the Star Wars prequel movies alongside co-star Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, the first time the pair has returned on-screen together in live-action since 2005's Revenge of the Sith. The show was set 10 years after the events of that movie, with Obi-Wan watching over Luke Skywalker on Tatooine before being sent on a mission to rescue a kidnapped Leia. 

While we'd never say no to more Jedi Master McGregor, we're of the opinion that one season of Obi-Wan Kenobi hit the sweet spot. In fact, we even wrote a feature about why a miniseries was the best format for McGregor's return to the galaxy far, far away.
