Liam Neeson is set to reprise his role as Qui-Gon Jinn in the upcoming animated anthology series StarWars: TalesOfTheJedi.
Just when you thought the Star Wars universe couldn’t bring any more legacy characters back for another round, they’re doing it again. During a panel dedicated to the galaxy far, far away’s newest animated series, Tales of the Jedi, it was revealed that Liam Neeson will return as Qui-Gon Jinn, the Jedi Master he portrayed in The Phantom Menace, the first of the Star Wars prequel films.
The news was revealed during a panel dedicated entirely to the new series, featuring Star Wars magnate Dave Filoni discussing the series. According to reports from the panel, Neeson is set to voice Qui-Gon for a single episode in the anthology series, which tells stories from across generations of Jedi.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Ahsoka Tano is also set to be a major feature of the series, which is unsurprising, given her status as a fan-favorite character in the Star Wars universe. Reports from the panel say that some episodes will deal with Ahsoka’s mother, and the first full, fifteen-minute episode was even screened at the panel, though the rest of the world won’t get to see the final product until much later on.
Massive amounts of other news have also come out of Star Wars Celebration this weekend, including first looks at both Ahsoka and the third season of The Mandalorian, as well as release dates and trailers for shows like Andor and other Lucasfilm projects like Willow.
