Whether a Robert's Rebellion prequel should happen is another matter, since much of the story was already revealed in Game of Thrones, either through conversations or in Bran's visions. As HBO continues to expand the world of Westeros on the small screen, then it may become increasingly likely that the story - which is the most obvious Game of Thrones prequel to possibly do (though not necessarily the best) - will be told, and that necessitates Ned Stark. As it stands, there are no current plans for a Robert's Rebellion spinoff, but it is one of the most speculated upon and wished-for choices from fans. That doesn't mean, however, that Ned Stark himself can't still appear. If Sean Bean weren't to return for Game of Thrones' Jon Snow sequel - and it is admittedly a long-shot, despite potential narrative value - then there's little scope for him to come back. ![]() ![]() ![]() Seeing how Jon, scarred with trauma and loss, reflects upon his legacy and whether he did right by Ned, while at the same time questioning Ned's own choices, could allow for emotional and introspective flashbacks or dreams to add more context and weight to their relationship and Jon's lineage. Much of the mystery around Jon was about his parentage, but Ned was his true father, the man who really shaped him as a person. There's obviously a risk involved because his death was so good and it would be unwise to harm that moment, but flashbacks or dreams wouldn't do so if done right. He could look to his father for guidance, or be troubled by dreams of him, allowing Ned to return one last time. Jon thinking back to his time with Ned, while simultaneously struggling with the weight of his actions in killing Daenerys Targaryen and whether it was the right, honorable choice (something Ned instilled in him more than anyone), could mean revisiting past conversations. Indeed, the last time Jon saw his supposed father, he was told that the next time they would talk about his mother. It was, after all, Ned who made the decision to raise Jon as his own son, telling no one of his parentage, in order to keep a promise to Lyanna.
