Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

Keep it planetbound to Tatooine and make an external threat also a threat to Luke being discovered. My idea of a Quinlan Vos-based second season where Quinlan and Obi-Wan help one another to defeat an Imperial adversary before secrets are found out can incorporate Ben telling Quinlan that the safety of this Lars boy is an assignment Master Yoda gave Obi-Wan after Order 66.

Quinlan doesn't even have to find out that Luke is Anakin Skywalker's son, only that Obi-Wan needs his help in honoring Yoda's wishes and protecting the kid.
 
There is a story from the old canon, which originated on the NPR radio show and IIRC later made its way to the comics, where Luke and his friend Windy got lost in the Jundland Wastes where "Old Ben" found them and escorted them out. Something along those lines could be constructed into a larger story. One that centers on Luke and his welfare, but also one that that doesn't have Luke as actively involved in the story as Leia was in season 1. But beyond something like that they really can't go much more beyond that concerning a relationship between Ben and Luke prior to Episode IV. @GhoulEddie74's Quinlan suggestion could be a good workaround, but I still don't think Luke should have any real exposure to any Jedi stuff before Episode IV.

Quinlan can go to Tatooine because Tala's Path network also extends to at least one location there, but when he arrives to lend assistance (he already knows the planet since he was there and in Mos Espa during the events of Episode I) he either runs into Ben or senses him with his Jedi Master Force skills and is drawn to him.

No Lil Leia no deal.

If the actress was willing (and someone could write it) I won't mind seeing a Young Leia series of her early days in the Senate and Rebellion following her little adventure with the Ghost Crew in Rebels. If she can maintain the Carrie levels of sass and yet play up to a person (I suppose like Portman) who can take a lot of political responsibility (as someone in the junior senate and leader in the Rebellion)
 
I think if Ewan wants to come back, it's going to be for something with a lot more substance than just some random adventure with Luke. That's not a story, it's just plot.
It would have to progress Obi-Wan's character from the person he was at the end of the show--the veteran that found a way to forgive himself for what happened with Anakin--to the person we met in Rebels & ANH; the Jedi Master at the height of his powers and focus.

I could see a world where the whole show is a series of trials Obi-Wan must go through to learn what Qui-Gon has to teach him, the same way Yoda had to to also get on that path of enlightenment. Maybe that involves going off-world to say Malachor and facing Maul (not my first choice, but it's possible), or maybe he never sets foot outside the Jundland wastes (physically). Spiritual journeys and vision quests have the advantage of being highly subjective experiences from the audience's POV, since it's not about the plot, it's about the character.
That means they could do the Clone Wars flashbacks with Hayden that he wants without having to contrive some other off-world adventure, or another scenario that puts the twins in peril once again.

I wouldn't hold my breath for Ventress showing up in any second season of Kenobi. Partly because Nika Futterman hinted at more Ventress to come, which probably means they have something planned for her in animation (a voice actor is unlikely to be in the know about any upcoming live action productions, after all.) Also partly because if anyone is going to bring Ventress into live action, it's going to be Filloni. That means 'Ahsoka: Season 2' is a much more likely platform; and they just so happen to leave off with a cliffhanger on Dathomir . . .

Quinlan was a prominent name drop in Season 1 so I hope they follow up on him having not only survived Order 66 but lived long enough to participate in Tala's underground network.
There's no guarantee that they'd even pick up that thread, and that name-drop was done without context or explanation, so most of the audience would still have no clue who Quinlan was or why it mattered beyond "some other Jedi Kenobi knew".
 
It would be nice to see the Hidden Path again at some point. It's a pretty major addition to the "Rise of The Empire" era, but according to Wookiepedia the only places it's showed up in a story so far is Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jedi Survivor.

Thinking about it more, I guess they didn't really know each other in A New Hope, so that would kind of rule out them going on any kind of a big adventure together before that.
 



A New Star Wars Trilogy Is Coming, and It Could Be Episodes 10, 11, and 12

Simon Kinberg has reportedly been tapped to write a new chapter of the Star Wars saga... one that could potentially carry on the Skywalker Saga, or begin a new one entirely.

Lucasfilm is adding an entire new trilogy of movies to its increasingly-filled (for now) slate of Star Wars projects–one that could carry on the fabled Skywalker Saga with the official Episodes Ten, Eleven, and Twelve.

Deadline reports that Simon Kinberg–producer of many of the X-Men films, as well as, in the galaxy far, far away, Star Wars Rebels alongside Carrie Beck and Dave Filoni–has been tapped to write the new trilogy, as well as produce alongside Kathleen Kennedy. The trade further reports that it has heard that this trilogy of films could be the official 10th, 11th, and 12th entries in the Skywalker Saga made up of the Prequel, Original, and Sequel Trilogies, but also notes that that idea has been disputed by several insiders, instead citing that the trilogy will be a new, standalone series of films designed to “begin a new saga.”

The potential for this trilogy of films to be the definitive continuation of the Skywalker Saga is certainly interesting, even if it does seem unlikely–especially as one of the now-many Star Wars films currently in development at Lucasfilm is meant to follow on from The Rise of Skywalker already, in the form of Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Daisy Ridley’s New Jedi Order film, with the latter reprising her role as Jedi Master Rey Skywalker. Presumably it would be that film (if it ever happens) that would pick up on the lingering story threads that remain from the sequel trilogy. So either this new trilogy, if connected to the primary saga, could sit alongside standalone films within a similar pace in Star Wars continuity, or could potentially bring the timeline even further beyond the sequels to give space for other films to pick up on their characters.

Or it could never get made entirely! Lucasfilm has spent the 5 years since The Rise of Skywalker announcing a lot of things that it then ends up not actually making, so Star Wars fans have developed an inherent skepticism to any kind of movie announcement at this point. Projects in the works alongside this purported trilogy include the three films previously announced at Star Wars Celebration Europe in 2023–the aforementioned Rey film, James Mangold’s “Dawn of the Jedi”, and Dave Filoni’s “Mandoverse” team-up film, widely believed to be a riff on the classic Timothy Zahn novels in the Heir to the Empire trilogy–a Lando Calrissian movie, formerly announced as a TV series, penned by Solo‘s Donald Glover alongside his brother Stephen, Taika Waitit’s long-in-gestation movie, and the only film we actually know there’s been footage shot for so far, Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu, set to release in 2026.
