Both of them play characters in my top 10 Star favourite Wars ones and I hope in season 2 of Ahsoka Hera gets a little more to do! And then if Kenobi actually has a season 2 hopefully it’s not ridiculously stupid as season 1 and it’s actually somewhat decent to do Ewan justice because he’s perfect as the character

[@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplay]

I mean he might get a season 2 at somepoint but right now Disney is putting it on the back-burner for now but it will happen at somepoint, I mean Disney and Lucas films do want to do it but it will take a good long while

[@protector_of_the_realms]

I love Obi-wan, he’s in my top 5 favourite Star Wars characters and I especially love Ewan as him. I wouldn’t mind a season 2 as long as it’s good but I would be very scared because honestly for me the first season is the worst thing they’ve ever put out with live action Star Wars. For me it was honestly more disrespectful and of worse quality than even the Sequel Trilogy which hurt because it was the thing I was by far the most hyped for and the easiest to get right imo. Just have it be a low budget intimate tragic character study about PTSD in the desert. Instead they went with the stupid dumbest action and plots I have ever seen apart from the ST and ruined everything and every character they brought in excluding only Bail. All they had to do was copy the Kenobi book ffs, it’s right there written by infinitely better writers and is actually an engaging smart story. Would have been better as a film than show too but no one in charge of Star Wars is competent at all

[@christiancrocetti9940]

It was not a good show. I love him as Obi wan but the show did both his character and George Lucas Star Wars a disservice.
