Star Wars Insider Interview Juli 1999
QUESTION: Unlike when Obi-Wan and Yoda died, your body didn't disappear after Darth Maul killed your character. Does that mean you could come back in Episode II or III?
LIAM: Oh, I think so. I hope so.
QUESTION: You do hope so? You'd like to come back for another one?
LIAM: Yeah.
from an insider interview
seems like he DO like episode 1... 🙂

I read in a reputable movie mag that Neeson disliked the episode 1 experiance so much he almost gave up acting!
I hardly think hes going to say or they would print "no i dont want to come back for another one" in Insider..nor would he say it sucked making Episode 1 to the official mag.
You read the insider and all the principal actors say how much they enjoyed making star wars BUT get them on a talk show talking up their latest non sw movie and they dont seem THAT enthusiastic at all...as if being under contract to do a further 2 movies after phantom was the bane of their lives.
The interviews i read are all positive.
And they are not all from the Insider...

there are 3...
"LN: No, let's not get serious. Right before that interview, I had just come off playing Oscar Wilde on the West End Stage and Broadway, and also had two films back to back. It was just...burnout. I kind of wanted out of it all, you know? I had a friend call me up last night from England. He said, 'Mate, I've just been watching the news. First item: Kosovo, the next item: Liam Neeson's leaving the business!' [He laughs] I said, well it's not true."
So its a fake, that he wanted to stop acting because of SW.
"PM: I was just going to say that very thing! Well, what got you hooked on this Star Wars? Like were you always a fan?
LN: I was. But before that I was a fan of George Lucas. I thought American Graffiti was a fabulous film. You know, if I had a little wish list booklet with directors' names, George would definitely be in there. So when I heard he was going to come out of so-called director's retirement to direct a Star Wars, I wanted to investigate it more. I mean, I love Star Wars, especially the first one. But it was to get a chance to work with George Lucas that prompted me. George is kind of the ultimate master Jedi. He's someone who knows cameras inside out, has knowledge of filmmaking and storytelling and is actually quite profound. But it's never forced, you just know it's there. It's within him. So I totally, absolutely trusted him. And yes, he is a poet in the way Spielberg is, and some of those other directors. The camera is like a extra appendage to their bodies, you know? They can just paint with it."
doesnt sound bad either...
