Ewan McGregor returns as Obi Wan Kenobi in the Clone Wars

In the prequel trilogy, Ewan McGregor starred as Obi-Wan Kenobi from 1999 to 2005. Three years ago he brought the legendary Jedi Knight back for another adventure in the galaxy far, far away – this time in the form of a six-part live-action series. It looks like his Star Wars journey isn’t over yet.

According to a new rumor, it’s not just McGregor that we’ll be seeing again in the Star Wars universe. Apparently we can expect another reunion with Hayden Christensen, who has been the face of Anakin Skywalker and now also Darth Vader since Episode II. Where is this all supposed to take place? In the second season of Ahsoka on Disney+.

Star Wars: Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen and Ariana Greenblatt Reportedly in Ahsoka Season 2

Star Wars News Net summarizes the exciting Star Wars rumor, which has a total of three exciting names for a potential return:

  • After Hayden Christensen Already appeared in the first season of Ahsoka both in flashbacks and as a force ghost and apparition, he will also be a crucial part of the story in the second season. This makes sense in terms of content, after all Anakin was Ahsoka’s master.
  • The second season of Ahsoka is said to include even more flashbacks to the time of the Clone Wars. At this point comes Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan Kenobi comes into play. This may be the first time we see a joint mission between Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka in live-action form – complete with Jedi armor.
  • The third part of the rumor revolves around Ariana Greenblattwho portrayed the young Ahsoka Tano in the sequences in the past in season 1. This should come as no surprise: the flashback episode in Ahsoka was received with great enthusiasm by fans.

    • But where does the rumor come from? Kristian Harloff, who comes from the Collider corner and runs a pop culture channel on YouTube, revealed the information in a livestream. In the past he has been right with individual scoops. The Obi-Wan info is also supported by Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman.

    Based on the current course that Lucasfilm is taking with series like Ahsoka, the rumor seems plausible. Nevertheless, we should Exercise caution. So far there has been no confirmation, neither from an official site nor from an industry magazine such as Variety, Deadline or the Hollywood Reporter. Rumors don’t get any more rumored.

    Good premise: Ewan McGregor loves Obi-Wan Kenobi and would play him again at any time

    McGregor himself has stated several times since the end of Obi-Wan Kenobi that he is open to another Star Wars return. It was only in September that he revealed his continued enthusiasm for the franchise to Variety, back then with a view to a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi:

    I really hope we get the chance another one [Staffel] close. Between the end of the series and Alec Guinness’ on-screen appearance with Luke Skywalker, I think there are a few more stories left to tell.

    However, since Lucasfilm has not yet given any signals regarding the extension of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka offers itself as an alternative. There is currently no other Star Wars project that is more closely linked to the prequel era (and Rebels). Not even The Mandalorian can keep up with its numerous cameos.

    When does Ahsoka Season 2 start on Disney+?

    There is currently no concrete schedule for the second season of Ahsoka. If filming begins this year, a… Start date at the end of 2026 be realistic. After all, the casting process seems to be already underway. Just last week we received news that Rory McCann would be following in the footsteps of the late Ray Stevenson and playing the mysterious Baylan Skoll in season 2.
