Liam Neeson achieved notable recognition for his portrayal of Qui-Gon Jinn inStar Wars: The Phantom Menace,the inaugural installment of George Lucas’ prequel trilogy. Despite appearing in just one film, the immense scale of the franchise means that such iconic roles tend to become a lifelong association for actors.
Liam Neeson disclosed on an episode of Conan O’Brien’s podcast,Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,that he continues to be frequently approached for autographs, particularly at airports and similar public places. While children are often present in these interactions, it’s evident that it’s often the fathers or grandfathers who are the ones most eager to secure signature.

When discussing the fervent fanbase,Liam Neesonsuccinctly described it as a “cult,” highlighting the intense devotion. This observation reflects the expansive realm of media franchises. Regarding Star Wars, Neeson believes that the franchise may be engaging in excessive expansion and rapid development. “There’s so many movies and spin-offs, and I think, you’re diluting the whole thing. I think. That’s my personal thing,” Neeson said.

Nonetheless,Star Warshad already established itself as a significant franchise long before this new wave of shows emerged. It’s worth noting that the anticipation and excitement surroundingThe Phantom Menacefar surpassed what is currently observed for, let’s say,Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,an upcoming Disney+ series that might not be as familiar to many.
RegardingThe Phantom Menace,Neeson shared an amusing anecdote about how he and Ewan McGregor, who portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi, initially began producing lightsaber sound effects by making “whoosh-swoosh” noises with their mouths during filming. He recounted how George Lucas intervened, suggesting they could incorporate those sounds during post-production.
Overall, Neeson appears somewhat less enthusiastic about the contemporary landscape of filmmaking, where actors often interact with CGI characters inserted in post-production. He also recounted an incident while filming a scene alongside Watto, the winged insectoid junk dealer featured in the prequel trilogy.

This dedication yields some of the industry’s most iconic and outstanding films.
