Did he give him the gift of being able to walk as well? Lee can't walk anymore...

Shit really?

Just use his head and super impose it onto a younger guy's body. Like that did with Arnie in terminator Salvation.

 

[Magwik]

You know he died, right.

Didn't stop Maul

 

[Cheebo]

Didn't stop Maul

Qui-Gon appeared in the after life already and his body was burned to ashes. He 100% died unlike Maul who fit in the genre "if there is no body he didn't die" sort of rule.

 

[Platy]

Neeson-McGregor was the best thing about the prequels

 

[Currygan]

ugh, no thanks

 

[adj_noun]

I hope he spends the whole movie cheating at dice.

 

[Schweinehund]

I love liam neeson but it seems like he says yes to anything.

He was up for playing Ra's again, and he will probably do Taken as long as the studios want him to.

 

[SargerusBR]

YES PLEASE

 

[Ushojax]

Qui-Gon was supposed to be 60-ish in TPM anyway, it could work.

Any Star Wars movie can work if it's not directed by George Lucas.

 

[akira28]

I liked him. I'd watch a QJ prequel.

 

[RS4-]

Let him do it. And on the subject of Taken, make it a Fett spinoff

 

[GameGuru59]

Spinoff? They should remake the first 3 movies. Then they can do the spinoffs. They should do it while most of the actors look about the same.

 

[CreepingFear]

Disney could use that Tron 2 tech to make Liam Neeson look like creepy uncanny valley Jedi.

 

[Cheebo]

My head hurts from all these posts. Boba Fett wasn't even born yet when Qui-Gon died.....

Spinoff? They should remake the first 3 movies. Then they can do the spinoffs. They should do it while most of the actors look about the same.

Too late. First spinoff is out next year. And episode 8 in 2017 followed by second spinoff in 2018 and then episode 9 in 2019.

 

[Jarnet87]

Make it a comedy film about the afterlife in Star Wars Universe. Liam is a master of comedy.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Every time I think about Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan from the prequels I'm reminded of the Plinkett Reviews, specifically about how their roles should be reversed. In the movie the older Qui-Gonn, who is a Master Jedi, is a rebellious risk-taker who constantly goes against the Council's wishes. While Obi-Wan, the younger apprentice, is actually the cautious rule abiding Jedi. It really makes no sense.

It actually makes sense to me, though not in execution. Dooku trained him, and Dooku was not exactly a staunch believer in how the Jedi worked.

 

[Sub_Level]

No.

 

[Corgi]

wonder how the star wars story would have played out if Qui Gon was the master of anakin. he'd at least been fine with anakin getting laid.

Let's face it... obiwan was a pretty shitty mentor imo.

 

[billy beane]

Just make another Liam Neeson action film set in the Star Wars universe. It could work.

 

[Oddduck]

He did a good job with the bad material he was given.

I wouldn't mind seeing him again with another director.

 

[Blader]

well yeah, that's the story. A large part of the blame for Anakin's fall is on Obi-Wan.

 

[CreepingFear]

Jedi are supposedly fine with getting laid, they just can't form attachments. Basically, Jedi are pro prostitution. "Pay with Repbublic credits, and no attachments needed"

Darth Maul got chopped in half and kicked down a mile high pipe and he came back, Qui Gon just got stabbed, he could hella still be alive

 

[A Link to the Past]

Darth Maul got chopped in half and kicked down a mile high pipe and he came back, Qui Gon just got stabbed, he could hella still be alive

Qui-Gon's body was burnt and Yoda basically said that he met his Force Ghost so

I don't think he survived the cremation.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Does anyone smell booze?

 

[Extra Sauce]

Not going to happen as the people currently in charge of Star Wars secretly despise the prequel trilogy.

 

[Azulsky]

QuiGon was a super peaceful bro.

But then we learn that in his youth he had a little dance with the Dark Side.

queue Taken x Starwars killing spree

They could do a Christopher Lee head on other guys body. Worked well in Tron and that movie is old tech now.

 

[jmdajr]

I don't mind

 

[DopeToast]

Couldn't care less about the Qui-Gon Jin character. If it's handled by someone other than George than maybe it will be alright. I don't know.

 

[BouncyFrag]

I'd be down for a Taken/Qui-Gon crossover film.

 

[Enthus]

My favorite version of Qui-Gon is the Auralnauts version. Actually, they are the only way I watch the prequels now, really.

"It's heroin"

 

[Hystzen]

Here is the pitch Qui-Gon Gin creates a overly complicated plan to get a padawan that includes dice rolling, racing and lottery

 

[Corgi]

Qui-Gon's body was burnt and Yoda basically said that he met his Force Ghost so

could have been a body double and qui-gon went underground doing black work.

 

[Kickz]

Yes Qui-Gon!! I was legit sad when they burned his body in the movie.

 

[Raonak]

That'd be pretty cool!

Real talk - I'd be 100% okay with an Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan movie set between Episodes 3 and 4

Yes Please! Ewan McGregor excellent in the prequels.

 

[Renzoku]

Take all my money.

 

[DeathyBoy]

What? Those characters are all alive so the can appear in a movie set 30 years later. It makes sense they aged.

Liam Neeson can't play Qui-Gon in a flashback. He has aged nearly 20 years since the character died. He can't play a young version of himself without the CGI de-aging stuff which I doubt anyone wants.

... I'm sorry, what?

Neeson doesn't look that much older than he did then. Just have the hair and the beard and he'd sell the rest on acting.

 

[Robot Pants]

Sounds like now that Lucas is gone, Neeson is excited again.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

He should do Qui-Gon taken style.

Naw, he should basically do a 2 for 1 where it is Qui Gon channeling Ra's Al Ghul.

 

[yellow submarine]

Qui-gon Jin's padawans were TAKEN by the evil stormtroopers. Watch Qui-gon Jin get payback by storming the stormtrooper hideout base.

I'd totally watch that.

 

[Abounder]

He could be a force ghost for the inevitable Obi-Wan/Jedi spinoff movies. Other than that he'd have to be a wookie unless Star Wars goes clone crazy again

 

[Aureon]

Real talk - I'd be 100% okay with an Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan movie set between Episodes 3 and 4

I'd be okay with Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan ANYTHING.
Liam Neeson Qui-Gon and Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan pre-prequel, kicking ass and takin' names?
I fully believe Qui-Gon's character should've been Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan's Anakin.

 

[Jigorath]

No thanks. Qui-Gon was a boring character.

 

[Cheebo]

Sounds like now that Lucas is gone, Neeson is excited again.

Neeson appeared in 4 episodes of The Clone Wars under Lucas just recently though he had no issue working for him then.

 

[Log4Girlz]

To give you guys a sense of how silly i am and would cry if something like this were to happen, here is a copy of an Empire magazine I have kept close by since '99





http://youtu.be/sqA577_IoBk

He's the most boring character ever in any work of science fiction.

 

[richiek]

Sounds like now that Lucas is gone, Neeson is excited again.

Neeson voiced Qui-Gon in the Clone Wars animated series. He and Lucas made amends a long time ago.

EDIT: beaten

Even before Lucas sold Lucasfilm Neeson in the press was saying he'd be up for coming back for a new movie as well.

 

[foxtrot3d]

I preferred the assessment that "Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi should have been combined into one new character...called Obi Wan Kenobi"

Yup, I always get a kick each time I get to that part in the review because it is absolutely goddamn right.

It kinda makes sense, Obi Wan is around 20 in Episode 1, and has spent most of his live learning about the rules and ways of the Jedi. he is still learning the ways of the galaxy and doesn't dare go against that which he knows. But you can tell in the later films that he has become more of a risk taker.

Except that just doesn't make sense realistically and/or psychologically. You see young people, for a whole host of reasons, are the ones that are usually risk takers and defiant. Older people, on the other hand, tend to become engrained in their ways after gaining years of experience and wisdom, accordingly they are usually resistant to change and generally more cautious. So for Obi-Wan to be this super cautious rule follower and Qui-Gonn to be this rebel with radical ideas is just odd.

 

[Magwik]

Let him at it, it's Liam Neeson the man can do no wrong imo.

Someone hasn't seen Taken 3 yet
