Liam Neeson is finally returning as Qui-Gon Jinn in upcoming animated Star Wars show Tales of the Jedi, as revealed at Star Wars Celebration.
Neeson will voice Qui-Gon for one episode, while the actor's real life son, Micheál Richardson, will also be voicing the younger version of the character.
Tales of the Jedi is an anthology series that will consist of six episodes, with three focused on Count Dooku (played by Christopher Lee in the live-action movies). Qui-Gon was Dooku's Padawan.
"Qui-Gon is one of the best and, in some ways, most interesting Jedi, because of his philosophy, which is different from the Jedi Council," Dave Filoni said of the series, via StarWars.com. "And where did he learn that, if not from his mentor, Count Dooku?"
The other three episodes will be focused on Ahsoka Tano. Her storyline will begin with the Togruta as a baby and her mother is voiced by Janina Gavankar, who also plays Iden Versio in the Star Wars Battlefront 2 video game. The episodes will reunite Ahsoka with her teacher Anakin Skywalker and will also pick up with her post-Order 66, facing down an Inquisitor. (H/T Gizmodo).
The episodes will be light on dialogue and focused on visuals, with Filoni describing them as "tone poems."
Beyond that, Ahsoka also got a first teaser, and we were treated to the first official look at Indiana Jones 5.
