Star Wars is expanding its small screen footprint with its next Disney+ series which will feature Ewan McGregor's return as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
But, this has also reignited conversations about rumors of the legendary Jedi Master's supposed ties to the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
Not long after Disney acquired Lucasfilm, the House of Mouse kickstarted a new Star Wars trilogy that introduced a string of fresh protagonists and antagonists.
It was clear, however, that the sequel's primary lead was Daisy Ridley's Rey — a Force-sensitive scavenger living alone on Jakku before she was roped into the battle between the Resistance and First Order.
Rey's identity was one of the major mysteries of the sequels. Eventually, she was revealed to be Emperor Palpatine's granddaughter, but one of the most popular theories regarding her lineage, in the beginning, claimed that she was a Kenobi.
Almost three years after the Skywalker Saga wrapped up with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Kennedy finally addresses the matter in a new interview with Vanity Fair.
The Lucasfilm President was asked about whether or not Rey Kenobi was ever considered. In her response, she points out the ramifications of what that could mean for Obi-Wan's legacy as a Jedi.
