It\u2019s one big story with a beginning, middle and end. So I think this story was very much conceived to be its own standalone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Chow added: \u201cI mean, there are of course more stories that you could tell. There\u2019s obviously another 10 years before we get to A New Hope and with a character like Obi-Wan Kenobi, I think even just watching him ride across the sand sometimes is interesting. So, who knows? It\u2019s hard to say right now, but it was not the intention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for whether she has plans for a second season, Chow said: \u201cHonestly, at this point, the only thing I\u2019m thinking about is taking vacation.
