The president of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy thought of teasing the fans who, in a recent interview, explained how Obi-Wan’s future depends on the reaction of the fans. These are her words: We thought of the show as something limited, but if there is a great demand from the public for new stories about Obi-Wan, we will definitely think about it.. Anything is possible, so we’ll see“.

The series is set 10 years later Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith and allowed fans to witness a new confrontation between Obi-Wan and his former student Anakin Skywalker, now transformed into Darth Vader. Playing him was once again Hayden Christensen, who admitted that he trained hard to get back into the part.
