Ewan McGregor appears to be poised for a return as the iconic Obi-Wan Kenobi, albeit not in the manner that fans initially anticipated. Many Star Wars enthusiasts regard McGregor’s portrayal of the beloved Jedi as a highlight of the prequel trilogy, and his reprisal of the role in the 2022 Disney+ series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, was met with widespread acclaim. However, a second season of the show has yet to materialize.
Rumors of McGregor’s Return in Ahsoka Season 2
Recent speculation suggests that fans may see McGregor donning Obi-Wan’s robes once more, but this time in a different series entirely. According to insider Kristian Harloff, there are indications that McGregor will reprise his role in the upcoming Ahsoka Season 2.
In a recent video, Harloff noted, “I think a lot of people kind of thought this, but Hayden Christensen has a pretty big role in Season 2. Ariana Greenblatt is gonna return as young Ahsoka, but I think the big news is that Ewan McGregor is gonna be in it, too.”
While specific details about McGregor’s role remain undisclosed, the integration of his character alongside existing storylines could add significant depth. The return of Anakin Skywalker, portrayed by Hayden Christensen in season one, was a standout moment, showcasing a redemptive arc for the character within the franchise. Given the long and complex relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan, Season 2 could explore rich narrative possibilities involving both characters.
The Anticipation for Ahsoka Season 2
As we await official announcements regarding Ahsoka Season 2, it’s exciting to imagine what the future holds for Obi-Wan. Although a release date has yet to be confirmed, speculations suggest that the audience might have to wait until 2026 for the next installment.
In the meantime, let’s keep our fingers crossed for more appearances from Obi-Wan as the Star Wars universe continues to expand.
