At 70, Liam Neeson may not exactly be the target audience for this new Disney era of Star Wars, and is himself the guy who had lines midicholorians in the prequels, but that doesn’t mean he’s wrong, either. It’s diluting it to me, and it’s taken away the mystery and the magic in a weird way.” Asked if he would return past a single recent cameo he did with Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan, he definitively said no, and gave his reason:
