A theory surrounding the story for a potential Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 could make the show vital to Lucasfilm's future cinematic plans. While giving more context to the characters of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader, the Disney+ show was relatively self-contained in regard to its broader story connections. Other than fleshing out two important Skywalker Saga characters, the show was a more independent story than the likes of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka which are building to a cinematic event.
However, a theory surrounding the potential story for Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 – should the show be picked up for a second outing – could tie the show into another of Lucasfilm's future projects. While Obi-Wan Kenobi certainly works as a standalone adventure, tying it into what could possibly be Lucasfilm's biggest upcoming project would be fitting for one of Star Wars' most iconic characters. The project in question is James Mangold's Dawn of the Jedi movie, which could link to Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2's potential story in big ways.
