Liam Neeson Thought His ‘Star Wars’ Death Scene Was “A Bit Namby-Pamby”: “Hardly A Master Jedi”
STAR WARS UNIVERSE, AUG 3 – Liam Neeson called Qui-Gon Jinn's death scene in The Phantom Menace unconvincing and said the character's demise did not reflect his Jedi Master status, despite enjoying the role.
- Liam Neeson said during a GQ interview `I thought my death was a bit namby-pamby` and that he was 'supposed to be a Master Jedi.'
- In 1999, Qui-Gon Jinn, played by Liam Neeson in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, died in a lightsaber duel with Darth Maul, a scene Neeson now decries as 'a bit namby-pamby' and underwhelming.
- Highlighting the dialogue, Neeson said `Oh, I'm going for your face` to show how Maul duped Jinn before striking under the chin for a fatal blow.
- After over 20 years, Neeson reprised Qui-Gon in Disney Plus' Obi-Wan Kenobi, saying `It was nice to recreate that` in 2022.
- With the Star Wars calendar's next release, the Mandalorian & Grogu film is set for May 22, 2026, while Neeson admits he has `lost track` of the franchise.
