Liam Neeson Willing To Return To 'Star Wars' As Qui-Gon But With A Condition

Liam Neeson has revealed that he is willing to reprise his Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn role in the "Star Wars" franchise — but only if it's for a movie and not a TV series.

"Oh, I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so ... if it was a film," the 69-year-old actor told Comicbook in an interview published Monday. "Yeah, I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to TV, I must admit, I just like the big screen, you know?"

He further shared that it has been over two decades since he first played Qui-Gon Jinn in "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace," which came out in 1999.

"Qui-Gon, I can't believe it's 24 years since we made (Star Wars:) The Phantom Menace," he recalled. "I just cannot believe where the time has gone. It was a terrific experience, shooting that film in London."

Neeson's co-star, Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 1999 film, is all set to reprise his character in an upcoming TV series, "Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi," which will be streaming on Disney+ starting May 27.

"Star Wars" is not the only franchise that has turned to the platform. In fact, Marvel has also been releasing shows on Disney+. Despite this, however, the actor remains firm that he's not fond of this practice because he still prefers dropping feature movies.

In February 2020, the actor talked about sci-fi and superheroes, which have been trending in recent years. Apparently, Neeson is not really into the genre, and the idea of preparing for a superhero role does not appeal to him.

"I'll be honest with you, no. It's not. I'm really not a huge fan of the genre," he told Entertainment Tonight at the time. "I think it's Hollywood with all the bells and whistles and the technical achievements and stuff — which I admire — but I have no desire to go into the gym for three hours every day to pump myself up to squeeze into a Velcro suit with a cape."

Neeson will be next seen in the movies "Memory," "Retribution," "Marlowe," "In the Land of Saints and Sinners" and "Charlie Johnson in the Flames."
