Star Wars is a large number for the time being. There are unvarnished brilliant spots like Andor, after which there’s every little thing 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 (through IGN) during which McGregor talked about his desires for a second season of the Star Wars spin-off exploring the getting old 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 crucial 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 stated when requested what he nonetheless desires to do within the Star Wars universe in spite of everything of his earlier work. “I’d fairly wish to put on that armor, I used to be talking to 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 largest problem to exploring the Clone Wars in that context could be de-aging McGregor. He talked about the potential for carrying dots on his face for 3 months to make him youthful utilizing CGI. “I don’t care, I’ll do it,” he stated. “And that approach Hayden and I can actually get again collectively once more.”
The actor left a couple of extra morsels for followers to salivate over. “So there’s undoubtedly that [as] one thought and the opposite one is, clearly between the tip of the Obi-Wan Kenobi collection and [later] when Alec Guinness is Obi-Wan Kenobi, there’s gotta be one other few tales in there and we’re undoubtedly hoping…nicely, ‘exploring’ that, I feel, could be the phrase to say,” he concluded.
Whereas Obi-Wan Kenobi wasn’t an important Star Wars TV present, seeing it grow to be 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 occurring in the remainder of the prolonged cinematic universe for the time being. Whereas Star Wars Ahsoka is getting a second season, it was just lately reported {that a} as soon as deliberate Mandalorian season 4 turned 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 grow to be greater than a restricted collection. And the subsequent correct Star Wars movie sequel remains to be nowhere in sight.
