Andor‘s second and final season secured the Disney+ show’s place in TV history. It’s not just the best Star Wars series ever. It’s one of the best series of any kind ever. The prequel also delivered a moving and poignant farewell to its titular rebel, who ended the show on the way to his final, fatal mission in Rogue One. Only, Ewan McGregor isn’t happy about any of that. It’s not that he hated the way the show ended. He hated that it ended at all. He finally caught up on Andor and loved it so much he wants Disney to make a season three so he can appear as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
During an appearance at Fan Expo Canada (we first learned about at IGN), McGregor shared both his love for Andor and his disappointment it’s done. McGregor explained that he always comes to things “later” even after people recommend something. (Celebrities – they’re just like us!) And that while he was catching up on Andor, he became hopeful his Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi could appear on a third season of the Star Wars show because it takes place right before A New Hope. “I was super excited, and then I realized, ‘Oh no,'” he said.
Alas, for all of us, both viewer and iconic Jedi alike, Andor is done and will not be getting a season three. Or is it? Fittingly for Star Wars McGregor isn’t giving up hope. “There’s always a chance that maybe there’s a story that’s happening at the same time where it kind of crosses over,” he said. “So there’s always a chance if Disney is listening — hypothetically, hypothetically. Come on, Disney.”
He’s not wrong, but any sort of crossover wouldn’t take place on a hypothetical third season of Andor. Not unless Lucasfilm retcons Obi-Wan Kenobi into the end of Rogue One and he uses the Force to keep Cassian from the Death Star blast.
….Hey….wait a sec….no. Cassian Andor’s story is one that deserves to keep its perfect ending. Maybe next time, old Ben Kenobi can keep up to date on the best Star Wars show ever.
