Summary
Liam Neeson , who play Jedi Master Qui - Gon Jinn inStar war : Episode I - The Phantom Menace , has a simple reason for believing he ’s unconvincing to return toStar Wars . A maverick even among the Jedi , Qui - Gon Jinn is generally consider one of the greatest heroes of theStar Warssaga . HadQui - Gon kill Darth MaulinThe Phantom Menace , the Skywalker saga would have been very unlike . witness have long been fascinated by Qui - Gon , leading many to wonder whether Liam Neeson will ever return to the role again - perhaps as aForce spectre , or a story elsewhere in the timeline .
Screen Rantspoke to Neeson for his upcoming movieIn the Land of Saints and Sinnersand talk over the theory of an alive or live - action return toStar Wars . " I enjoyed very much being with Ewan and George Lucas on The Phantom Menace , " Neeson call back fondly . " We shoot that 26 years ago!Would I do it again ? I do n’t think so . Too * * * * * * * old , ya know?I ca n’t see the position , I really ca n’t , you know ? " While Neeson enjoyedQui - Gon ’s cameo inObi - Wan Kenobi , he does n’t envision ever returning to last - natural action .
view as a maverick Jedi , Qui - Gon Jinn was willing to hear from other Force traditions - and some of those lessons taught him how to continue his knowingness after death , becoming the first Force Ghost . Qui - Gon discovered Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine , recognizing him as the Chosen One , and blaspheme to check the male child . This swearing was passed to Qui - Gon ’s learner , Obi - Wan Kenobi , after Qui - Gon was killed by Darth Maul . He remain influential from beyond the veil , however , instruct others how to come in his Force Ghost footsteps .
Liam Neeson Didn’t Rule Out An ANIMATED Return…
It ’s important to note , though , thatScreen Rantasked about both a live - natural action or animated return - and Neeson ’s reaction was distinctly whether he ’d do the role of Qui - Gon Jinn again in live - action . In addition to hisObi - Wan Kenobicameo , Neeson also voices Qui - Gon inTales of the Jediseason 1 , and it ’s easygoing to imagine a scenario where he did that again . Tales of the Jediseason 2is affirm to number out this year , and nothing is yet live about the Jedi who will be feature .
Neeson was n’t the only one to play Qui - Gon Jinn inTales of the Jediseason 1 ; his son Micheál Richardson voiced a youthful Qui - Gon as well .
SeveralStar Warsprequel trilogy stars have returned to lively - activity in recent years , most notably Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen ; even Ahmed Best appear inThe Mandalorianseason 3 , now diddle Jedi Master Kelleran Beq rather than Jar Jar Binks . But it ’s much hard for Neeson to return to wager the live - activeness Qui - Gon Jinn , give the character was killed inThe Phantom Menace , and Force ghosts are n’t presuppose to age . Neeson ’s rather blunt judgement is quite accurate from an in - existence position , too .
That does n’t mean the scuttlebutt is n’t a little disappointing , of course . It would be beatify to see this particularStar Wars : Episode I - The Phantom Menacealumni act as Qui - Gon Jinn in bouncy - natural action again . But , sadly , that does n’t seem at all potential .

Viewed as a maverick Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn was willing to learn from other Force traditions - and some of those lessons taught him how to retain his consciousness after death, becoming the first Force Ghost. Qui-Gon discovered Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine, recognizing him as the Chosen One, and swore to train the boy. This oath was passed to Qui-Gon’s apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, after Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul. He remained influential from beyond the veil, however, teaching others how to follow in his Force Ghost footsteps.
