The Mandalorian Producer Addresses Potential Obi-Wan Kenobi Crossover

One of the biggest achievements of the last few years for Star Wars content has, undoubtedly, been The Mandalorian. After the sequel trilogy crashed and burned for most fans, the entire franchise could have been on ice for years—but thankfully, Din Djarin and Grogu came along to save the day. The story of their adventures paved the way for multiple new television shows all set in a galaxy far, far away.

It was Mando's second season that truly elevated these new stories, as elements previously only seen in animated format crossed over into live-action for the first time. Among them was fan-favorite hero Ahsoka, who was formerly the Jedi padawan of Anakin Skywalker. In the most recent finale, even Luke Skywalker made a shocking appearance.

When Book of Boba Fett rolled around, somehow the show managed to put out an episode that included Mando, Ahsoka, Grogu, Luke Skywalker, Cadd Bane, and Cobb Vanth all within the same hour of television.

With all of these elements from various projects intersecting throughout these new Disney+ ventures, can fans expect to see some more familiar faces in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Potenial Obi-Wan Kenobi Crossovers

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy commented on the prospect of crossovers in Obi-Wan Kenobi with characters seen in The Mandalorian or The Book of Boba Fett.

Kennedy mentioned how all of those characters and events seen in the previous Disney+ series "[fall] within the Mandalorian timeline," and Obi-Wan Kenobi's director, Deborah Chow, added how the upcoming show's "strongest connective tissue... is to the prequels:"

"...the strongest connective tissue for us is to the prequels, because that's where our characters are coming from and that's where their stories started. So, really, the prequels are the most connected to our series."

EW also noted that despite their answer, neither would completely rule out characters crossing over from The Mandalorian, or any other show.
