Liam Neeson Open To Star Wars Return (But Only For A Movie)

screenrant.com:

Liam Neeson recently revealed that he's interested in returning to the Star Wars universe as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, but only for a film. It's been over 20 years since Neeson made his memorable franchise debut alongside Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman in Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace. Since then, his possible return to the galaxy far, far awayhas been much anticipated by fans eager to see more of the legendary Jedi Master.

Thanks to Disney+'s expansion of the Star Wars saga in recent years, several iconic characters and performers have been brought back to the universe on the small screen in series like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. And with the premiere of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series just around the corner, many fans have speculated that Neeson might make a cameo in the show as a force ghost. And while Neeson may return in Obi-Wan Kenobi, some of his recent comments cast doubt on Qui-Gon's rumored appearance in any of the upcoming Star Wars shows.

While speaking with ComicBook about his upcoming action flick, Memory, Neeson confirmed that he's open to reprising his role as Qui-Gon, but with a slight catch. When asked whether he'd return to the Star Wars universe, Neeson said he'd only do so for a film—not a Disney+ series. His full quote can be read below:

«Oh, I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so… if it was a film. Yeah, I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to TV, I must admit, I just like the big screen, you know? Qui-Gon, I can't believe it's 24 years since we made [Star Wars:] The Phantom Menace, I just cannot believe where the time has gone. It was a terrific experience, shooting that film in London.»
