Obi-Wan Kenobi might be billed as a limited series, but, according to director Deborah Chow, a season 2 isn't totally out of the question. 

The series saw Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen return to their Star Wars roles in a story set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. 

"You always think you're going to end a series like this in some magnificent way, but instead you end up in a parking lot with second unit and hardly anybody there," recalled Chow in conversation with The Hollywood Reporter. "It's always so anti­climactic, but as Ewan and I finished our very last shot on second unit and I was literally taking off my headphones, he was already pitching me ideas for season 2. There's another 10 years with plenty of stories, and I don't think it’s off the board. It is a 'never say never' situation, but we really did conceive this to be a limited series."

By the sounds of it, then, there are currently no plans for an Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 – but that doesn't mean we'll never see McGregor back again someday. 

While we don't know when we'll next be seeing McGregor's Obi-Wan, Christensen's Anakin Skywalker will be back in the upcoming Ahsoka show. After some back and forth over whether he really would appear again, Star Wars let it slip in a merchandise description, then a teaser finally confirmed his return.
