Talking of Drive Ghosts, whereas Liam Neeson made a quick look in 2022’s “Obi-Wan Kenobi” sequence starring Ewan McGregor, the actor doesn’t appear involved in rather more past that transient cameo.

Whereas talking with Display screen Rant, the Irish actor was requested about extra “Star Wars” and didn’t sound all that heat to the concept of one other live-action return as Jedi Grasp Qui-Gon Jinn once more. “We shot [‘The Phantom Menace’] 26 years in the past!

And the path of the Jude Legislation sequence, “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” remains to be a little bit of a thriller. Past that, the grounded “Andor” sequence will return in 2026, which may very well be it for some time by way of TV as Lucasfilm appears to be like like it is going to pivot again to motion pictures beginning with “The Mandalorian and Grogu” TBD 2026.
