Getting stabbed in the stomach by a lightsaber isn’t going to keep a good Jedi down. During a recent interview with Collider, actor Liam Neeson admitted that he’d be open to returning as fan-favorite Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in Disney and Lucasfilm’s upcoming Obi-Wan series, which will trace the steps of the iconic character following the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.
