When The Phantom Menace was released in 1999, George Lucas' new trilogy introduced us to the interesting character of Qui-Gon Jinn. He Jedi master played by Liam Neeson limited his performance to that film, so many fans have wanted to see him again with a lightsaber in his hand.
It is true that he also appeared in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, although only as a Force ghost, so Screen Rant has asked the actor directly how he values the idea of reprising the role. “I really enjoyed Ewan and George Lucas in The Phantom Menace. We filmed it 26 years ago. Would she do it again? I don't think so. I am too old, You know? “I can't imagine the situation, I really can't, you know?” Neeson confesses.
Of course, it would be very difficult to enjoy Qui-Gon Jinn's battles in all their splendor again, since The artist is already 71 years old behind him and it would be difficult for him to physically live up to the choreographies. However, Neeson did provide his voice for the character in the first season of Tales of the Jedi, a project in which his son Micheál Richardson also participated to voice the young version of the Jedi.
However, the interpreter assured for years that he has retired from projects related to action. His participation in the genre over the decades has been very prominent, especially in the renowned Revenge saga, so his appearances are very well measured so that there are no physical demands.
