Ewan McGregor returned as Obi-Wan Kenobi in his own Disney+ series, but the show didn’t manage to make massive waves and a second season is nowhere in sight. However, it looks like McGregor could be coming back in another capacity.
According to Star Wars News Net, McGregor could be making another comeback as Obi-Wan in the second season of Ahsoka. It’s said that he would be reprising Obi-Wan during a Clone Wars flashback and will also share scenes with Ariana Greenblatt, who plays the younger Ahsoka.
Besides McGregor, the site also says that Hayden Christensen is going to return in a bigger role as Anakin Skywalker this time around. Christensen had a recurring role as Anakin in the first season as a hologram, then as a vision, but he comes back as a Force Ghost to connect with Ahsoka by the end of the season.
With Dave Filoni at the helm of the series, it’s no mystery that Ahsoka was littered with all kinds of Easter Eggs to previously established lore; but a lot of fans have caught wise to Filoni’s tendency for nostalgia-baiting, and a lot weren’t too happy with Ahsoka’s character essentially being a bland Jedi who spends most of the series crossing her arms and slightly smiling at Sabine.
It’s unclear if Filoni was able to address this problem for the second season, but with him also working on the Mandalorian and Grogu movie, it’s best to assume that he’s been pretty busy since Ahsoka aired.
Ahsoka Season 2 is set to start shooting this year, and Lucasfilm is planning to release The Mandalorian and Grogu in theatres on May 22, 2026.
