Liam Neeson, who played Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, has a simple reason for believing he’s unlikely to return to Star Wars. A maverick even among the Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn is generally considered one of the greatest heroes of the Star Wars saga. Had Qui-Gon defeated Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, the Skywalker saga would have been very different. Viewers have long been fascinated by Qui-Gon, leading many to wonder whether Liam Neeson will ever return to the role again – perhaps as a Force ghost, or a story elsewhere in the timeline.
