Making Star Wars (via SFFGazette.com) has become a reliable source for news and leaks in recent years, something that's evident from the Obi-Wan Kenobi details they shared prior to the show's arrival on Disney+. While we always have to take rumours with a pinch of salt, this one is pretty easy to buy into and is likely to be welcomed by those of you who have been loving the phenomenal "limited" series.
As you might expect, Disney and Lucasfilm are extremely happy with those premiere numbers (Obi-Wan Kenobi is the streaming service's most-watched original series), and there are now tentative plans in place for a second season. The site isn't sure if it will be billed as a season 2 or something else entirely, but the plan is to continue telling stories in this corner of the Galaxy Far, Far Away.
Ewan McGregor has expressed interest in returning, of course, and even though another clash with Darth Vader is unlikely, there are plenty of other stories that could be told...with Maul, for example!
Here's where we get into SPOILERS.
While the original plan was reportedly to end Obi-Wan Kenobi with Reva being killed by Darth Vader for pretending to have slain the Jedi (after she secretly learned who he's protecting on Tatooine), the character is now expected to survive. How Reva's story will continue is unclear, but it's said that The Grand Inquisitor is also alive and likely to factor into "season 2" plans.
We'll see if and how this all pans out, but it's certainly exciting. While Lucasfilm needs to ensure they find a tale worth telling with "Ben," if the first few episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi we've seen are any indication, we don't need to be worried about the Jedi Master's story continuing with another season.
