With the Obi-Wan Kenobi series winging our way next year, along with a slew of other TV and film projects, the opportunities for incredible cameos broadens and one of the most keenly anticipated is the return of Qui-Gon Jinn in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. With Liam Neeson having returned vocally in The Clone Wars and The Rise of Skywalker, and his contact with Yoda revealed in Revenge of the Sith, could there be a chance for the slain master of Kenobi to return? Neeson certainly appears amenable to it happening.
When asked if he was aware just how frequently fans clamor for Neeson to return as Qui-Gon, the action star replied, “I’ll be honest with you: I haven’t heard that at all.”
Of course, we had to reassure Neeson that fans were definitely down for Qui-Gon to come back. Neeson, somewhat surprised, asked us if “Star Wars [is] starting to fade away from [the] cinema landscape,” to which we once again confirmed that it is not, in fact, fading away. After informing Neeson about the big plans for all the new Star Wars movies and TV shows, we asked whether he’d be game to appear in, say, a flashback in Obi-Wan Kenobi as Qui-Gon. At the point, a smile spread across Neeson’s face and he answered, “Sure, I’d be up for that, yeah.”
