Liam Neeson Reprises Role as Qui-Gon Jinn in ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’
There is a strong tremor in the Force… er, internet. It is the return of Liam Neeson to the realm of Star Wars!
Neeson reprises his role voicing ‘Force Ghost’ Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn on Cartoon Network’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Jan. 28 and again on Feb. 11. In the clip link below the fallen Jedi Qui-Gon appears to his former student Obi-Wan in some strange cave where the powers of the Force converge.
I, like many other Star Wars fans are excited and suprised by this development. Last week on ‘The Force Cast Podcast’ Star Wars: The Clone Wars supervising director Dave Filoni teased about saga characters (possibly from the prequels) appearing in the series but Star Wars fans never would have guessed that the character of Qui-Gon, let alone the actor who played him, would ever return to the franchise. Neeson tells Entertainment Weekly that he wanted to return to Star Wars because he felt that “these characters resonate…even after all these years.” He adds, “Growing up, my heroes were cowboys; they were strong and mysterious, and it seemed like they always rode off into the sunset. For kids today, Star Wars has that same kind of magic. I really wanted to be a part of that.”
The character of Qui-Gon Jinn was one of my favorites and between him and Darth Maul really made ‘Episode’ I enjoyable. Having said that, all we need to see now is a resurrected Darth Maul return to seek vengeance against Obi-Wan for chopping him in half. Here’s to wishful thinking.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Returns Tonight (1/7/11)
‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ returns to the Cartoon Network Friday January 7th, 2011 from it’s mid-season break at a new time, 8:30 ET/PT. For those of you who might have gotten a bad taste in your mouth from the last few politically driven episodes before the break you are in for a treat. Supervising director of the series, Dave Filoni, has mentioned in various interviews that from here on out the series will be more action packed including that classic wit Star Wars fans have come to know and love.
This telling trailer shows what appears to be the debuts of Jedi Masters Even Piell and Saesee Tiin. You also get to see Padawan Ahsoka Tano show off her dual lightsaber technique and as well as her more… sinister side.

Darth Vader Announces September Star Wars Blu-ray Releases at CES 2011
The Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, appeared at the Panasonic booth at CES 2011 yesterday, to announce the release of ‘Star Wars: The Complete Saga’ in three distinct Blu-ray sets in September.
‘Star Wars: The Complete Saga’ will feature all six live-action movies as well as 30-plus hours of bonus features including never-before-seen deleted and alternate scenes and an exploration of the exclusive ‘Star Wars’ archives.
“The Complete Saga” will carry a suggested retail price of $139.99, and the “Trilogy” sets will go for $69.99. Amazon was also there to facilitate orders on-site.
“The ‘Star Wars Saga’ is the most anticipated Blu-ray collection since the launch of the high-def format,” Fox Home Entertainment president Mike Dunn said Thursday. “The epic franchise pioneered sound and visual presentation in theaters and is perfectly suited to do it again in the home, with a viewing experience only possible with Blu-ray.”
