Last spring, Lucasfilm clearly announced that his series Star Wars would not have season 2but for the star, that doesn't mean that he won't be able to come back in a future film or why not in another show on Disney+?
“The truth is, I must have lied about that first season ofObi-Wan for years, he explains. I don't want to do this anymore. So in all honesty, I don't know. I haven't seen a film from Lucasfilm or Disney to tell me: 'Let's go ahead and shoot a new season.' Obi-Wan was designed as a limited series, it came out and people appreciated it, which makes me very happy. I love doing this. I hope we will have the opportunity to film more. I'm even sure it will happen in the future. Well, pretty sure, because you know, I'm not yet the age that Alec Guinness was when he made A New Hope. I tell myself that we have time to shoot new stories…”
