Overview
- This week McGregor told reporters he has been informally pitching follow‑up Obi‑Wan ideas directly to Lucasfilm president and CCO Dave Filoni as he presses to return to the role.
- Among the concepts McGregor discussed is a grounded storyline about Obi‑Wan trying to reach Yoda after Episode III, which he framed as a way to explore the scattered survivors of the Jedi Order.
- He also floated a proposed romantic connection between Obi‑Wan and Hera Syndulla, a suggestion that drew substantial fan backlash because Hera’s timeline and existing relationships conflict with such a pairing.
- Hayden Christensen and other prequel‑era actors have separately said they would be open to live‑action Clone Wars or reunion projects, but Lucasfilm under Filoni has made no official greenlight for Obi‑Wan season 2 or a Clone Wars remake.
- The 2022 Obi‑Wan limited series and strong fan demand keep the idea viable, yet any follow‑up remains conditional on creative fit, budget, scheduling and McGregor’s limited window before he ages into Alec Guinness’ likeness.
