In an exclusive conversation with The Direct’s Russ Milheim, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Vivien Lyra Blair has cast doubt on her return as Princess Leia Organa in a second season of the Disney+ series, but would be willing to star in a Young Leia series.
The actress noted that “a lot of people” have asked her about a second season, something “Ewan [McGregor] is just begging to do:”
“Well, I think a lot of people are asking me, ‘Will we get a second season of ‘Obi-Wan’?’ And I honestly, I think it’s very much a possibility because Ewan [McGregor] is just begging to do another one. He’s really excited.”
Blair admitted that she “would love to,” but she “[doesn’t] see how [Leia] would fit into it. Alternately, Blair expressed hope that a Leia-focused spin-off show set on Alderaan could be developed:
“… And I think I would love to, but I was saying like, I don’t see how I would fit into it, because it’s very implied that she doesn’t see him again until she asked for help in the fourth movie, ‘A New Hope.’ And so, I think it’s kind of like, how would I fit into that? And so we’re kind of hoping for my own show there. We’re kind of thinking it could be fun to do a show of Leia on Alderaan. And I really hope something like that could work out.”
Watch Blair in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ now.
