Some ponderables on Qui Gon/Neeson in episode 3.
I noted a few interesting comments on whether or not Liam was going to be casted. We all know Liam said he wasn't going to do another star wars movie, and the quote in episode 2 has been said to have been recorded in Ep 1.
I'd like to bring up some very interesting facts about the movies and Lucas in general.
Lucas is a planner. He doesn't plan whole movies, but he likes to do things ahead of time, and he likes to get things done with. He knows the general plot of things, but the twists fall into place. Notice that he cut the Han having a girlfriend in Episode 4, and he ended up with Leia. He left that open.
What am I getting at? Lucas always contracts people for all the movies. Liam Neeson is a great actor, and if he says something people are going to listen.
I think that he either recorded scenes already in Episode 1's filming, or he is actually going to be in Episode 3 as a ghost, or a notable voice.
There are so many parellel oppertunities that Lucas is so known for doing. Note Obi Wan in ROTJ, He appeared to Luke, "I thought I could train Anakin... I was wrong." Imagine Qui Gon admitting he was wrong.
Also note that in AOTC before Obi enters the Younglings Training room there is a statue, with a man who is holding an object, holding it just the same way as Anakin with the fruit. That statue looks just like Qui Gon! Anakin seems to have Qui Gons rebellious attitude, even to the note of "Obi Wan would be very grumpy if he saw me doing this."
The Voice with Yoda, which we all know about.
Finally an interesting plot connection that lays a huge chain of events. Note that Count Dooku wished for Qui Gons help. Think about Master Syfo-dyas, who is he? People are always guessing, but Obi said he died almost 10 years ago, without hesitation. I theorize that Syfo-Dyas is none other than Qui-Gon. Note the way Obi spoke of him, "...I was under the impression he died before then..." He says. Why wouldnt he say something with less of a personal touch. Obi seemed to know Syfo-Dias well.
There is too many small connections that imply that Liam outright lied that he wasn't contracted for ep 3, or that there were some underlying things going on to throw people off.
I know it seems like a long shot, but I think that there's more to Episode 3 and Neeson than people think.
What's this have to do with Boba?
