With many actors returning to reprise roles in various Star Wars projects, like Ewan McGregor in the upcoming Disney+ Kenobi series, Liam Neeson was asked in a recent interview if he had been asked back to reprise his role as Qui-Gon Jinn.
Have you ever been approached, at any point, by Disney or Lucasfilm to reprise your Star Wars character in anything, over the years?
NEESON: I’ve done the voice for Qui-Gon Jinn in a couple of the animated versions of it. I can’t remember the names of them. Myself and Sam Jackson did our Jedi knights for those. I think I did two of them. But on film, I haven’t been approached, no. 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?
Especially now with Disney+, they could do limited series for various different characters because there is still so much there. I think it’s just a matter of finding something that people are interested in.
NEESON: Yes.
It would be great to see Neeson return as an on-screen charcater in a flashback or as a force ghost in the upcoming Disney+ Kenobi series, or something else currentlyin development. We will be watching closely!
