At long last — and entirely too soon — it’s almost time to say goodbye to Obi-Wan Kenobi. To mark the occasion, Disney created a trailer to promote tomorrow’s series finale, and it has many fans in their feelings.
The show began just under a month ago, and its final episode will arrive on our small screens tomorrow. Most of us don’t now what’s going to happen, but whether there are big mind-blowing moments or the story ends as quietly as it began (perhaps with a little more hope though), it’s going to be the epic conclusion of a truly remarkable story.
In this 30-second TV spot, shots and sound bytes from the series come together to create a hype-inducing viewing experience to prepare Star Wars fans for the series finale. The show’s core themes echo in the words spoken in the trailer as well — elements of forgetting, suffering, and possibly even hope.
This trailer also appears to confirm this is a “limited series finale” and that there won’t be a second season of the show as so many fans have begged for. However, that doesn’t mean so-called spinoff series couldn’t emerge from this short but complete story. Judging by past finales such as The Mandalorian Season 2’s post-credits scene, it’s possible we could get one of those announcements as soon as tomorrow.
It’s not very likely, to be clear — Star Wars just announced an entire slate of projects for the next few years, on top of the announcements Lucasfilm made at Disney Investor Day 2020. More shows being announced right now would add even more to the already crowded release schedule we’re fast-approaching.
But more Star Wars shows do mean more money. So from the business side of things, overcrowding in some ways might be the end goal. Would it really be something to complain about? Who doesn’t want more Star Wars?
Obi-Wan Kenobi stars Ewan McGregor with appearances by Hayden Christensen and Kumail Nanjiani and is directed by Deborah Chow, who previously directed an episode of The Mandalorian. The series is streaming now exclusively on Disney+.
