“That is not an active development. But I never say never, because there’s always the possibility. That show was so well-received and [director] Deborah Chow did such a spectacular job. Ewan McGregor really wants to do another. Everybody’s all hands on deck with what we’re doing right now, as you can see by what we showed everybody [at the Celebration]. We’ll turn our attention to that again maybe down the road.”

"Just within the context of the Saga, it's a great bit of Star Wars and a really important scene, not just to the tragedy of the character of Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader, but the tragedy of the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan."

"Deborah [Chow], I can't thank you enough. You know. The way it was scripted, the way the whole thing came together on the day...and so much of why that scene works is because of Ewan's performance and the heartbreak that you experience."

"And you get to understand the duality a bit better and the struggle of identity. Yeah, I'm very, very proud of that scene."

"There was something about the experience of working together again. We just love each other, you know, and hadn't seen each other for such a long time. In the moment of shooting it, all of that was alive in the scene. That's beautiful when that happens."

"[As] Ewan and I finished our very last shot on second unit and I was literally taking off my headphones, he was already pitching me ideas for season two. There’s another 10 years with plenty of stories, and I don’t think it’s off the board. It is a “never say never” situation, but we really did conceive this to be a limited series."

"When we made the announcement that we were bringing back Hayden, that prequel generation became very clear all of a sudden. They loved the prequels, and Hayden was their guy. It was lovely, honestly, to work on something that was for a different generation of Star Wars fans."

"A lot of the actors have [been subject to] a lot of scrutiny over their roles. Having Hayden come out the other side and see the love for both him and his character, it was one of the most gratifying things. Honestly, I wouldn’t have felt good if he didn’t have a good experience on this."

"The first episode used to start with me as a waiter in a bar. You know, like he's really lost his way, Obi-Wan. He's working in a bar, he's drinking too much, I get beaten up. People are kicking me, and I'm just like taking it, and then stalking out, you know, into the night."

"I mean, that was our first ideas anyway. There was a draft where that's how it started."

"We were talking about a movie at that point, not a TV series. Disney+ wasn’t there yet. I said, 'All I can see is him broken after some time after 'Episode III,' and he’s in a really dark place.'"
