For someone who only starred in a single live-action Star Wars film, Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon Jinn has a lot of fans.
Perhaps this is why Lucasfilm is bringing back the Taken actor for another go as his iconic character. Unfortunately, Neeson isn't reprising his former role in live-action form. Instead, Neeson will lend his voice to the Tales of the Jedi, an animated anthology series made up of short stories exploring the backgrounds of several fan-favorite characters like Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Count Dooku.
According to Lucasfilm, the six-episode series will be split into two halves - the first half will star Ahsoka and explore her life from her childhood to his time as Anakin Skywalker's apprentice during the Clone Wars and her life after the infamous Order 66. Meanwhile, the latter half will center around Count Dooku's early years before turning to the dark side.
Neeson will appear in Count Dooku's part of the series with some episodes even featuring his son, Michael, as the voice of a younger Qui-Gon Jinn.
