Although Obi-Wan Kenobi originated as a planned film, it was reworked as a limited series following the box office disappointment of Solo: A Star Wars Story. The positive reception of Obi-Wan Kenobi led to some hope we'd be getting a second season, but the fact that Disney is referring to this as "The Complete Series" seems to suggest we won't get a follow-up season.
