Will Obi-Wan Kenobi Return For A Second Season?
The Star Wars prequel trilogy that was released in 1995 did not meet the expectation of critics at that time. But gradually over time, the prequel trilogy has achieved cult classic status. McGregor expressed his heartfelt emotions about the prequel trilogy and how it affected his career.
He said, “It took years to realize that there was an audience out there who really loved them. The sort of sound wave that came out after the films were released wasn’t very positive, because back then there wasn’t social media. And then we were just hearing the critics. And they decided not to like them.”
He continued, “But then slowly, you start meeting these people who were kids, when we made those films, who are now young adults, and you realise that for them are our Star Wars films were their Star Wars films. And that’s really nice. It’s nice to have that relationship with them now.”
Ewan McGregor is nostalgic after having a long journey through the story that is ending with ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’. He openly said that he wants a second season for ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ and he can’t wait to be a part of it.
“It’s true, it was a long journey to get here. It goes back to finishing Episode III, really, and the journey from there. It was interesting that it was it became more and more something that I wanted to do, the longer I got away from actually finishing Episode III,” said McGregor.
