a jedi never dies...

There was strong rumour that Liam had been spotted doing shooting work when they did reshoots in Engaldn. But Liam has since said he was not in ep.ii, but may be in ep. iii

I would be very interested in Qui-Gon playing an active part in the whole ghost trick thing. But to be honest, his character stands fine as it is, much as I would like him back in.

the shooting for leeson may have already been done during the ep1 shoot, then there would be no spoilers or clues.

so is it official that hes not gonna be in episode II?

well, I don't know that... but I thought that rumor has been shot down with solid proof...

(you said reshooting, so he had to be there already a few months before that)

Well, Liam saying he wasn't in it was proof enough for me!

well, he could lie, because IF he was in it, it would be a major shock

Yes, he COULD lie, but I rather think that is speculation vs. fact, there, and I prefer fact.

Remember that they all have a clausule in their contract saying that they must keep absolutly silent about the shooting and the story

yeah, but christopher lee follows the confidentiality agreements TO THE LETTER, but hell still say, "yeah im in AOTC." Neeson said, "no im not."

that's because his pic is on the cast list of AOTC 😄

and neesons is not. which should imply....

that perhaps they kept it a very well guarded secret

along the lines of james earl jones doing the voice of vader? wasnt that not revealed until ROTJ?

It's clearly written at the end of ESB:
Voice of Darth Vader: James Earl Jones

In ANH he didn't want to be mentioned because he felt he didn't do enough for it, but in the SE that changed

i always thought he just wanted to keep it a mystery

nope 😄

As bigsef says, James Earl Jones was not credited, originally, until ROTJ. As yerss says, it changed for the Special Editions.

And I agree with bigsef. Not saying you are in something is one thing, directly saying that you are not is quite another, clause or otherwise.

i do think it would be cool for qui-gon to "discover" the ghost trick think. in the scheme of the whole saga, it would make his character much more signifigant

yeah, face it! He hasn't done anything shocking!

no, and if he doesnt come back, he will be an easily forgettable character in the grand scheme of things.
