Star Wars is a large number in the meanwhile. There are unvarnished shiny spots like Andor, after which there’s every part else. There’s all the time a brand new hope although, and proper now that’s seeing Obi-Wan Kenobi get a second season and go full live-action Clone Wars with flashbacks galore. Regardless of no affirmation of a season 2 from Disney, star Ewan McGregor says it’s nonetheless “exploring” concepts for what such a season may appear like.
This extremely skinny tease got here from an LA Comedian Con panel dialogue (by way of IGN) by which McGregor talked about his goals for a second season of the Star Wars spin-off exploring the getting older Jedi’s legacy and regrets in-between the occasions of the prequel trilogy and Star Wars: A New Hope. The reply included tapping into the essential acclaim and passionate fandom across the animated Clone Wars, which focusses on Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker’s lives and relationships extra deeply than any of the movies.
“There’s a few issues,” McGregor mentioned when requested what he nonetheless needs to do within the Star Wars universe in any case of his earlier work. “I’d fairly prefer to put on that armor, I used to be chatting with somebody earlier, from the Clone Wars. I feel that’s one thing I might take pleasure in.”
The actor was particularly speaking about it within the context of doing a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which Disney has neither formally confirmed nor dominated out but. The most important problem to exploring the Clone Wars in that context can be de-aging McGregor. He talked about the opportunity of sporting dots on his face for 3 months to make him youthful utilizing CGI. “I don’t care, I’ll do it,” he mentioned. “And that manner Hayden and I can actually get again collectively once more.”
The actor left a number of extra morsels for followers to salivate over. “So there’s positively that [as] one concept and the opposite one is, clearly between the tip of the Obi-Wan Kenobi sequence and [later] when Alec Guinness is Obi-Wan Kenobi, there’s gotta be one other few tales in there and we’re positively hoping…nicely, ‘exploring’ that, I feel, can be the phrase to say,” he concluded.
Whereas Obi-Wan Kenobi wasn’t an important Star Wars TV present, seeing it change into a venue to showcase a number of the coolest stuff from Clone Wars is trying like an more and more preferable choice to what’s happening in the remainder of the prolonged cinematic universe in the meanwhile. Whereas Star Wars Ahsoka is getting a second season, it was not too long ago reported {that a} as soon as deliberate Mandalorian season 4 grew to become the Grogu film as an alternative. Acolyte was ditched after only one season, and there aren’t any plans but for whether or not December’s Skeleton Crew will change into greater than a restricted sequence. And the subsequent correct Star Wars movie sequel continues to be nowhere in sight.
