The «Star Wars» spin-off followed its eponymous Jedi as he tried to rescue Princess Leia from the clutches of the Empire.
Obi-Wan Kenobi came to an end on June 22. Sadly, for fans of the show interested in a second season, they won’t be getting one. Starring Ewan McGregor in the title role opposite Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader (formerly Anakin Skywalker), the series followed Obi-Wan as he went on a mission to save Princess Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) from the clutches of the Empire. Obi-Wan Kenobi was created to be a miniseries from the get-go, with show writer Joby Harold confirming to Newsweek that was the case.
«I can say that as a story I wanted it to be six chapters, that’s everything that [showrunner Deborah] Chow wanted, and the team wanted, is to try to tell a complete [story]», Harold said.
«It’s a limited [series], right? So, by definition, it should feel like a three-act structure in its architecture, that it has a beginning, and a middle, and an end.»
Harold added that he hoped the show’s «contained story» concluded in a «satisfying way» for fans, and when he was asked about the possibility of a spin-off focused on Darth Vader he added that he couldn’t «speak to the ambitions of the team.
