Reunited onscreen in their iconic roles as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn after almost a quarter of a century (not counting their vocal contributions to the closing scenes of The Rise of Skywalker), Ewan McGregor discussed the very welcome return of Liam Neeson to the role of Qui-Gon in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
“Liam is a hero of mine. Liam has got to be, I don’t know, ten years, maybe a bit more, older than I. So when I was growing up and wanting to be an actor, I was always watching Liam Neeson’s work, and he was involved in some beautiful work as a younger actor. And so to get the chance to work with him and to have this great relationship that we got to create together is fantastic, and to get the chance to work with himself again on the series right at the end.”
