It's hard to keep a good Jedi down. In the original Star Wars trilogy, Alec Guinness' Obi Wan Kenobi is killed off in the first installment, but that doesn't prevent him from making various appearances in The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi.

Now, it looks as though Liam Neeson is about to follow his path. Various reports confirm that Neeson's Qui-Gon Jinn, who was cut down in battle in The Phantom Menace, will return for Attack Of The Clones and Episode III. It's still not known in what capacity we'll see Qui-Gon, but it's a good bet that he'll be blue and transparent.
