00:00Hello my dear friends, and welcome back to another Star Wars video.

00:03It is I, coming at you once again, your favourite galactic hostess, Star Wars Meg.

00:08And today we have a pretty insane rumour. This is a rumour with a capital R,

00:14and just before we dive into it, and talk about its credibility and all of that kind of thing,

00:18the implications and what this could mean, I think I need to say something about the

00:21state of recent Star Wars updates. They've been all over the place. Ever since Andal came to an

00:27end, because the next major Star Wars project isn't until May 2026, there's naturally been a

00:32lack of official breaking Star Wars news. We've had comments from the likes of Kathleen Kennedy and

00:37George Lucas and recently Mark Hamill, but in terms of official announcements, they've been pretty few

00:43and far between. And so to fill this void, along come a bevy of so-called scoopers, like the one

00:49we're going to be talking about today, Daniel RPK. And he's been reporting all kinds of things,

00:54some more credible and I would say, legitimate, and some, at least in my estimation, not so

01:01legitimate. And that's where today's report comes in. During this period of uncertainty for Lucasfilm,

01:07there's been an increase in questionable journalism, and many Twitter accounts,

01:11media outlets, entertainment websites, you name it, have been running with it. Running with these

01:16crazy headlines. At this point, people are just throwing things against the wall, hoping they're

01:20right. And so with that kind of disclaimer and setup, I give you today's so-called massive Star

01:26Wars rumor. Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 is moving forward and is about to go into development. Do I

01:32think it's true? I'll be honest with you guys, I really don't think so. We've been talking about

01:37this for years. There have been so many different reports, that there's going to be a sequel, that it

01:42might be a movie, that it's going to be a different showrunner than Deborah Chow. We know

01:46Ewan McGregor wants to return, but we have nothing official. But here's the thing, this could just be

01:51an example of good guesswork from the source. Because we know Ewan McGregor might be returning

01:55in Ahsoka Season 2 for flashbacks, and because he's a legacy character, Hayden Christensen also

02:01said he's game, conversations might be going ahead. But please don't take this as gospel. You're going

02:06to be disappointed, my friend. And look, I'd love for this to be true. The first season was far from a

02:12very good show. Issues in the way it looked, the scale of it, changing the way we see a new hope,

02:17the rematch between Vader and Obi-Wan before Episode 4, but then there was the hope of the

02:21final scene. Obi-Wan reconnecting with Qui-Gon's Force Ghost. Because now in canon, Obi-Wan is going

02:28to begin the process of learning how to become a Force Spirit. And I think for fans of the Legends

02:33novel and fans of what George Lucas said, he needs to remain on Tatooine. So if they do a Season 2,

02:38he needs to stay put. And then there's the question of the timeline of Season 2. Is it going to be like

02:43the first season, just a small mission, a tiny portion of this time period, or could they take

02:48us all the way up to a new hope? And if that's the case, imagine a live-action version of the

02:53Maul vs. Kenobi fight from the Rebels episode Twin Suns. Others have suggested a confrontation

02:59between Maul and Darth Vader. But regardless, Obi-Wan needs to remain on Tatooine. The only problem with

03:05this, Liam Neeson said he would not return again. The Obi-Wan cameo was a one-off.

03:10No, I'm not. There's so many spin-offs of Star Wars. It's diluting it to me,

03:19and it's taken away the mystery and the magic in a weird way, you know? It was nice to do the

03:24little bit with Ewan after 25 years, 24 years, you know? He doesn't seem to like what Disney have

03:32done with the brand. But I'm sure with the old mighty dollar, Disney has a way of convincing him.

03:37But look, at the moment, I just don't see this happening. What we do know, my friends,

03:41is there's a Darth Maul animated show coming out, Ewan McGregor is probably returning in

03:46Ahsoka Season 2, but in terms of an Obi-Wan sequel, I'd love to be mistaken, I'd love to be wrong,

03:52but don't expect it. I've been covering Star Wars news for about 5 years, and I've learned my lessons

03:57in not jumping to conclusions, which is why I tell you guys, if something smells a bit fishy,

04:02if I don't think something's legit, I'll just tell you. If it doesn't come from a reliable source,

04:07I'm gonna be honest, and tell you to take the information with a huge grain of salt.

04:11So now I'm very selective, and I tell you flat out, before I cover anything, look, is this BS?

04:17Is it legit? What are the chances of this happening? And what are some things that I've heard?

04:22Because I have friends everywhere, and now and again I'll get a scoop. I know a couple of people

04:27who know some things, who are well connected, and in this age of disingenuousness and ulterior motives,

04:34I always keep things a buck fifty. There's no agenda here, so whether you love my videos or you

04:38hate them, and you don't like me because I didn't like this thing that you really like,

04:42or I love something you hate, I keep it real, and that will always be the case.

04:46So, if that's the kind of content you want, please make sure to subscribe,

04:49hit the big button down below, and ring the bell to be alerted every time that I post a new video.

04:55But this update, this rumour, whether it's real or fake, has been making the rounds,

04:59so let's take a look at how some fans reacted, and suggestions, for what they should do with a season 2.

05:05Base it off the Legends Kenobi novel. It's a self-contained Tatooine story.

05:10Now, I love the book. It is a slow burn, but when it picks up it's fantastic.

05:14I love the conflict between the moisture farmers and the Tusken Raiders,

05:17and the world-building of the legendary Star Wars desert planet,

05:21and it was the perfect place to explore Kenobi's post-episode 3 feelings.

05:26His pain, over-losing Anakin to the dark side, his anxiety for Luke, and the future of the Jedi,

05:32trying to connect with Qui-Gon Jinn. It was great.

05:35Very self-contained, very little overlap with other stories, and no massive galactic stakes.

05:40In this way, it could make for a fantastic second season.

05:44But, it's an enormous contrast compared to the first season of the Disney Plus show.

05:49So maybe they should go in a different direction, continue their own canon, cherry-pick elements that work.

05:54But yes, Obi-Wan needs to remain on Tatooine.

05:57This comment definitely gave me a good laugh.

06:00Does it have an incredible chase scene where hired assassins are unable to capture a 5-year-old girl alone in the woods?

06:06Oh my goodness, guys. That chase scene from the first season was definitely one of Disney's worst.

06:11It's like what I said yesterday about the Acolytes.

06:14If they ever want to do a season 2, you've got to flip the script.

06:17Do things completely differently.

06:19New showrunner, use Andor as a template for filming on location,

06:22make it visually spectacular, have the same level of maturity and writing of Andor's two seasons,

06:28and just listen to the fans, learn from the mistakes, and take on board the things fans loved.

06:34This person gets it.

06:35Real sets and better writing.

06:38Learn from Andor.

06:39Obi-Wan is a great character and Ewan McGregor is a great actor.

06:42This could be great with the right team.

06:43And it's why I do say, with a bit of caution, that while I think this rumour is complete BS,

06:48it might be good fan speculation to say, they are considering avenues to bring Ewan back.

06:53Maybe for more than just Ahsoka season 2.

06:55They have a golden goose.

06:57Under the right circumstances, I'm sure plenty of fans will be more than happy to give Obi-Wan a second chance.

07:03And I'm sorry to ramble on about this, but why did Kenobi get such a small budget,

07:07compared to Skeleton Crew, Andor, and the Acolytes?

07:11These are legacy characters.

07:12Freaking Luke is in it.

07:13But some good news, I reckon, following the success of Andor season 2,

07:19is as this person said,

07:20Disney will definitely be on everyone's ass about writing and set design.

07:24But the question remains, does Disney want to take that risk?

07:27They've been talking about cutting back, focusing on the movies.

07:31Then screw it.

07:32Make Obi-Wan season 2 a movie.

07:34And for the love of goodness, please give us a flashback to live-action Duchess Satine.

07:38Lots they can do with this, but do I believe this rumour?

07:41I'm afraid, not at the moment.

07:43But maybe you disagree with me.

07:45Is this in the works?

07:46Is this gonna happen?

07:47Share your thoughts in the comments down below, my dear friends.

07:50What story would you pitch, Lucasfilm?

07:52Imagine Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni are in front of you,

07:54and they say,

07:55Listen, we want to make Obi-Wan season 2.

07:58What's the story?

07:59And if you enjoyed this video, guys,
