Obi-Wan Kenobiwas announced as a limited series forDisney Plus. Yet, fans clamor for more ofthe Jedi Master. Obi-Wan Kenobi is perhaps the most famous and popularStar WarsJedi ever since his introduction to audiences in 1977’sStar Wars. WithStar Warsever-growing as a franchise, there’s endless potential for Obi-Wan’s story, as long as it respects the canon events that occur inA New Hope.

With the return of Ewan McGregor as the iconic and titular Jedi Master, fans have expressed interest in seeing him reprise the role forObi-Wan KenobiSeason 2. The galaxy far, far away is constantly getting more interesting, and there are plenty of things for Kenobi to do as he watches over Luke Skywalker on Tatooine and plenty of returning faces to meet.
Warning! Spoilers ahead forObi-Wan Kenobi.
10Clone Wars Flashbacks
One of the biggest fan demands forObi-Wan Kenobiis the desire to see the Clone Wars in live-action. Fans were given a treat to what the Clone Wars could be like with the opening sequences ofRevenge of the Sith, which truly played like a 20-minute Clone Wars episode. The Galactic-spanning war was fleshed out over 7 seasons of the animated show,Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The relationship between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi was greatly expanded inThe Clone Warsand made their heartbreaking duel on Mustafar even more tragic for everything they had been through together. Fans would adore seeing Kenobi, or Vader,reminisce on a simpler timewhen all they had to worry about was how many B1-Battledroids needed cutting down with their Clone Trooper allies.
9Qui-Gon Jinn Training Obi-Wan
With the conclusion of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s sixth episode, the finale, Liam Neeson reprises his role as the Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn. Qui-Gon was tragically killed inThe Phantom Menaceduring a duel with Darth Maul. Qui-Gon managed tobecome one with the Forceand retain his identity after his death.
The lessons that Qui-Gon learned would go on to assist him in helping both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda to master their abilities and become one with the Force for when they die, thus making them more powerful than anyone can possibly imagine. It would be great to see more of Qui-Gon and Kenobi’s relationship, and his training to unite with the Force utterly.
8Lightsaber Fights
Ever since Obi-Wan Kenobi andDarth Vader clashedlightsabers in 1977’sStar Wars, fans have eagerly awaited every lightsaber dual to grace their eyes. Films, books, comics, videogames, and TV all feature lightsaber battles, and fans adore them for their highly crafted choreography and great sound design.
Obi-Wan Kenobionly featured the Jedi Master in two lightsaber fights, and they were loved by many fans. It made sense for Kenobi’s story, who hadn’t utilized a saber in 10 years, to be rusty and not want to draw attention to himself by using one. Yet, in season 2, fans would cheer to see that blue blade ignite from his unique saber hilt.
7Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett
Boba Fett and Obi-Wan have interacted before inAttack of the Clones. Boba was quite the nuisance to the Jedi Order in theClone Wars, and stirred up all sorts of trouble with his bounty hunter mentors, like Bossk and Dengar. Boba Fett is a fan favoriteStar Warscharacter, so to see him show up and hunt the exiled Jedi Master would be a treat.
Boba could be played by a younger actor, like Daniel Logan, the child Boba Fett fromAttack of the Clones, or by the more recentThe Book of Boba Fettactor, Temuera Morrison. Boba Fett could be a great threat to Kenobi, especially in his early bounty hunter days, and obsession with disintegrations.
6Commander Cody On Tatooine
An unresolved conflict emerged from Revenge of the Sith when Commander Cody was ordered by Emperor Palpatine to execute Order 66. Cody and the 212th clone troopers attacked the Jedi Master and thought him dead. Cody’s story is unresolved. He is set to return forThe Bad Batchseason 2, but the extent of his story is unknown.
Having Temuera Morrison back to play the clone commander would be exciting, especially since the Empire would have discarded most, if not all clones by the time season 2 rolls out. Cody could be hunting the Jedi only he knows best.
5Tusken Raiders Threat
Now that Kenobi has had his hope reinvigorated, and his strength in the Force bolstered, Kenobi could spend more time on Tatooine. Having Obi-Wan present in Luke’s early years could emphasize just how closely he watched the young boy keep him safe, as he came to his rescue inA New Hope.
Tusken Raiders can be quite the threat on Tatooine, as Anakin Skywalker would know. By having Luke run into Tusken trouble more than once, it would allow Obi-Wan to use his lightsaber against them, or perhaps learn of their mysterious past and culture as Boba Fett did inThe Book of Boba Fett.
4Kenobi On Dagobah
One of the most renowned Jedi in all ofStar Wars, Yoda is a central piece to theStar Warspuzzle. AfterRevenge of the Sith, Yoda went into exile on Dagobah, the remote and unexplored planet that had one of the purest connections to the Force. Fans ofStar Warsdon’t see Obi-Wan visit Yoda untilThe Empire Strikes Backwhen Kenobi is already a Force ghost.

It would be a joy to many to see their little green friend on the planet Dagobah and to have Obi-Wan Kenobi visit him. Whether that is to give him an update on Luke and Leia or to simply see if he can learn anything from the Grandmaster of the Jedi.
3Ahsoka Tano
When the rebel movement gained traction thanks to Bail Organa,Ahsoka Tano emerged from hidingfrom the Galactic Empire to join Bail Organa. She was the manager of his intelligence network and went by the codename “Fulcrum”. Ahsoka Tano was also the Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker and the friend of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
By including Ahsoka Tano inObi-Wan Kenobiseason 2, it allows for the two most important characters in Anakin’s life to truly grieve him, and mourn the loss together. It’s a chance to heal old wounds, and let Obi-Wan know that he is not alone. It would also further close the gap between animation and live-action since Ahsoka was a character created in animation, now played by Rosario Dawson.
2Darth Maul Hunting Kenobi
The true nemesis to Obi-Wan Kenobi,Darth Maul has survived on nothing but hatred and angerfor the Jedi Master ever since he was cut in two back on Naboo. Maul spent his years during the Clone Wars making Obi-Wan suffer, and killed the only woman he ever loved, Satine Kryze.
InStar Wars: Rebels, Maul takes Ezra Bridger as his Sith student, and seeks but one thing: the location of Obi-Wan Kenobi, so that he can kill him once and for all. It’s a great episode inRebels, but one that could be further expanded in live-action for a season, in which Maul hunts Kenobi. A rematch between the two would be legendary.
1Mace Windu Lives
Mace Windu is one of the many characters in Star Wars that fans truly believe is still alive somewhere in the galaxy. Mace Windu was aJedi Master and a strong oneat that. Noted for being played by the ever-charismatic Samuel L. Jackson, and having a purple lightsaber, it’s no wonder fans want him back.
Introducing Mace Windu intoObi-Wan Kenobiseason 2 could bring a great deal of tension to the series. Fans and Kenobi himself may be excited to see Windu alive, but the Jedi Master would undoubtedly not be happy about Kenobi’s Padawan turned Sith Lord, and upon discovery of his son, Luke Skywalker, may seek to kill him to stop the chance of the cycle repeating.
