What? Those characters are all alive so the can appear in a movie set 30 years later. It makes sense they aged.
Liam Neeson can't play Qui-Gon in a flashback. He has aged nearly 20 years since the character died. He can't play a young version of himself without the CGI de-aging stuff which I doubt anyone wants.
PLEASE, McGregor's Obi-Wan was the best thing about the prequels, bar none.
I think you're overstating the amount of work it would take to de-age Neeson to his 20 years younger self.
Then why did they make the cartoon official canon? While they made literally everything else obsolete?
Cheebo said:The Clone Wars is not just some "cartoon". This is a statement put out by Lucasfilm a few months back explicitly stating The Clone Wars is at the same level as the 6 films since it came directly from George Lucas himself and thus is part of the base of Star Wars that all future stories MUST adhere to:
I don't think there's any canon at this point that firmly establishes he just hermits on Tatooine the entire time between the trilogies. They could totally write in a spin-off adventure where Obi-Wan does something either on Tatooine or somewhere else in the outer-rim. Maybe Obi-Wan has some kind of mini-adventure that involves protecting Luke and thus explains why Uncle Owen in Ep. 4 doesn't like Obi-Wan?
Because you don't promote your own TV series by prefacing it with "This show actually doesn't matter!"
I would be pissed off too if I had to raise Luke for 20 years, kid is an ungrateful brat. Didn't even want to work one more harvest, that Biggs corrupting him.
I think it is too dangerous for him to go off on adventures. yoda is one of the most powerful jedi ever and he just has to go into hiding. For me, an Obi Wan story line would feel kinda force.

Episode I prequel starring Liam Neeson and Christopher Lee thank you
2003 Clone Wars is better.
Episode I prequel starring Liam Neeson and Christopher Lee thank you
Episode I prequel starring Liam Neeson and Christopher Lee thank you
I think I'd be okay with it. I kind of like the idea that there could have been one or two attempts to either kill Luke or expose him to the Empire in-between the trilogies that the Skywalkers never knew about because Obi-Wan kept them safe.
I loved it but that has been wiped away pretty blatantly. They even took the dvds of it out of print years ago.
lol, I totally thought this as well
I love Liam, but the guy has been typecast for a while now
This all talk of Jedi made me realise that the only logical sane Jedi was obi van. Even tough he went out like nothing
This logic won't work on this thread sadly, you have multiple people theorizing on Christopher Lee playing a pre-Episode I Dooku!They're not going to do this. There's basically not enough time. They've already got 2 spinoff movies in some form of production or another, plus the actual sequel trilogy. It's pretty obvious one of these movies is NOT going to be a Qui-Gon spinoff, otherwise the quotes in this interview wouldn't have come out of his mouth. So that means if it were to come, it would have to come somewhere after 2018/2019 at the earliest.
He's saying it'd be nice to be Qui-Gon in a movie again. It probably would be. But by the time a slot opens up for such a thing to happen, he'll be almost 70 - playing a version of the character YOUNGER than the one he played in 1998/1999.
I mean, the dude is 92. With a little makeup, I could believe he's a 67 year old Jedi.Christopher Lee playing a younger Dooku? His first appearance (in a movie filmed 15 years ago) took place 10 years after Qui-Gon died. Lee (who is no spring chicken) would in theory have to play himself 25 years younger minimum than he is today in that scenario.
Every time I think about Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan from the prequels I'm reminded of the Plinkett Reviews, specifically about how their roles should be reversed. In the movie the older Qui-Gonn, who is a Master Jedi, is a rebellious risk-taker who constantly goes against the Council's wishes. While Obi-Wan, the younger apprentice, is actually the cautious rule abiding Jedi. It really makes no sense.
Eh, by the time anything could come of this, he will be well-past being able to appear younger than he did in Ep I.

Oh I know. I was being funny, but I do think with some makeup it wouldn't be too hard to visually sell audiences on him being a 67 year old version of himself.He is very very frail there is no way he can play someone in his mid-60's.

Why de-age? The spin-offs could take place after E1.
Simple, Dooku was already 92 when Palp first turned him. Palp then used the mediclorins to experiment on Dooku to stop Dooku ageing.
Dooku is actually in his hundreds in attack of the clone.
Where do i sign to start work on the script?
He should do Qui-Gon taken style.
