‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’: Kathleen Kennedy Says Season 2 Has Be Discussed & Offers First Look At Darth Vader’s Return

Following Troy Kotsur‘s big win at The Oscars over the weekend, fans are now learning that he also had a secret role in The Mandalorian.

The “Obi-Wan Kenobi” limited series on Disney+ is two months away, and it’s a big draw for many “Star Wars” fans hoping for the return of Ewan McGregor’s Kenobi and Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. While some of been critical of Vader’s inclusion and the new face-off that is coming between former master and pupil—there are many lines in ‘A New Hope’ that always indicated they had never seen each other since ‘Revenge of The Sith’ and that this new face-off undercuts that film—one way that seems to make it all work is the live-action introduction of the Inquisitors.

While not specifically calling out Disney’s recent debacle surrounding Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy made it known that she and her fellow PGA Milestone Award recipient George Lucas are on the right side of history, giving a shout-out to the impact of diverse, female and LGBTQ artists in the motion picture industry.

He’s played characters from different worlds including a Klingon Boss in Star Trek III: Search for Spock, Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future, and Jim Ignatowski in Taxi, and now Christopher Lloyd is joining the Star Wars universe in The Mandalorian season 3, Deadline has confirmed.

Samuel L. Jackson is just as eager to get back to the Star Wars franchise as fans are for him to make a return. During a recent live taping of the  podcast, the star revealed that he's lobbied for his Jedi Master character, Mace Windu, to make a return much like how other past franchise stars have made it back into the fold in recent years.«There's a huge history of people with one hand returning in ,'» Jackson joked, referring to both Anakin Skywalker severing his character's right hand before his eventual murder by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, as well as the multiple Skywalkers who have lost a hand. Jackson played Mace in the  prequel trilogy alongside stars Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Natalie Portman (Padmé Amidala). He reprised the role for the 2008 animated film and voiced the character in 2019's The character has also appeared in various  books, comics and video games, as well as the television series voiced by Terrence C.

Star Wars spin-off series.In an interview with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Pulp Fiction star was asked if by Horowitz if he should hold out hope for a return to the role of Windu – a role he performed in all three of the “prequel” films between 1999 and 2005.“Definitely,” Jackson replied, adding: “There’s a huge history of people with one hand returning in the Star Wars franchise. The only person I’ve ever said that to about coming back was Bryce Dallas Howard, ’cause I just did a movie with her.

While fans of “Star Wars” and Lucasfilm would both argue that “The Mandalorian” is a NEW series about NEW characters in the galaxy far, far away, there’s an argument to be made that Mando (the character and the show) is just an excuse to continue to mine the characters and stories of the franchise’s past. Hell, we even got the return of a young-ish Luke “Uncanny Valley” Skywalker.
