Liam Neeson, who played wise Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn back in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, revealed to that he hasn’t been a♓sked back to reprise his role.

“I’ve done the voice for Qui-Gon Jinn in a couple of the animated versions of it,” Neeson said. “I can’t remember the names of them. Myself and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sam Jackson did our Jedi knights for those.𒀰 I think I did two of them. But on film, I haven’t been approached, no.”

Not only that, Neeson added that he hasn’t been keeping up to date on the goings on in the gala🅰xy: “I haven’t really been following them, to be honest. I don’t know if they’ve come to an end. I heard they did a film of Harrison [Ford]’s character, Han Solo, and that there was a bit of trouble with that. What do you think? Are Star Wars fans finished with it?”

The ‘trouble’ with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Solo: A Star Wars Story that Neeson is referring to is probably that the movie switched directors half-way th💦rough, with Ron Howard replacing Chris Miller and Phil Lord on the project.   

As for whether Star Wars fans are finished, the answer has got to be a resounding no. News of Ewan McGregor’s return as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obi-Wan Kenobi in the upcoming Disney Plus series was met with huge amounts of excitement, and season 2 of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian is eagerly awaited by many of us.

Neeson’s comments suggest that it’s unlikely that we’ll see him in the Obi-Wan series, although 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith revealed that Qui-Gon lived on after death through the Force. In fact, we heard Neeson’s Qui-Gon talking to Rey at the end of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – along with several other Jedi, including Obi-Wan, ༒൩Anakin Skywalker, and Mace Windu.

Whether Qui-Gon ever pops up in the Star Wars universe again (perhaps as a Force Ghost) remains to be seen, though we notice Neeson didn’t say he’d never return – only that he hasn’t been approached.
