The gap between the Obi-Wan of the prequels and the desert rat ofA New Hopewas closed.
And, those stories would have to be even more grounded than what the series gave us in 2022.
Unsurprisingly, Ewan McGregor agrees.
This approach wouldnt be unprecedentedtheres even a roadmap on the page.
Basically, the goal should be more womp rats and less gangs of young cyborgs on colorful speeder bikes.
If anything, the continuation of Bens stories on Tatooine is bolstered by its own canon limitations.
This transformation arguably doesnt really happen inObi-Wanseason 1 at all, which is essentially what Ewan McGregor was saying.
The eponymous man in the title was not transformed into the man he becomes inA New Hope.
Should Vader be in a hypothetical season 2?
The answer is almost certainly yes.
Theres still good in you.
Instead, Obi-Wan just says, Then my friend is truly dead.
The scene is magnificent, and played perfectly by Hayden Christensen and McGregor.
But, sadly, it doesntquitematch-up with what Vader alludes to inReturn of the Jedi.
Much of Beatties basic story outline was used to form the bones of series (including the Inquisitors!
), though Joby Harolds rewrites obviously changed the tenor and direction of the story.
Vader and Obi-Wan dont need to even meet again to get to create tension between them.
In fact, they shouldnt.
We already know that the Force allows communication over great distances, almost instantaneously.
Who wouldnt want to watch them battle each other via long-distance Force magic?
