It’s from Rumours so nothing concrete, but a lot of rumours have turned out to be true. Not winding you up. It’s mentioned on Making Star Wars latest interview with Gareth Edwards regarding possible Cameo’s in France.
There is much more hints at more OT characters returning. And a new range of Rogue one toy lines back some of these up. And they are of little surprise.
But it’s weird this has been brought up alongside teasing OT characters almost a bit devisive.
Qui-gon makes complete sense.
“There were a lot of rumors in the last year or so that the prequels are off the table, but we’ve already heard of two other potential Phantom Menace characters showing up in this movie. If that pans out, it’s going to break the internet. We’ll see.”
Someone must sense Jyn is in trouble when she is a little girl, and sends Saw to rescue her, or something like that.
Liam Neeson said 1 year ago
“I don’t know [how he would return], unless you went back in time or he becomes a hologram or something. He’s a Jedi, anything could happen. It’s Star Wars world!”
“Sometime during his life, Jinn began discovering the secrets to manifesting his consciousness after death.[7] He traveled to a planet strong with the Force, a world that legend said was the birthplace of life and the origin of midi-chlorians. There, he learned from five Force Priestesses who had retained their own consciousness after death.[8] He learned that, when a living thing died, its life passed through the Living Force and into the Cosmic Force to become one with the Force. As the Living Force and Cosmic Force existed in tandem, it became possible to retain one’s consciousness and physically manifest themselves after death. Jinn was considered worthy of the knowledge of eternal life, and secretly began his training to fully unlock its mysteries.[7] He also learned from a Shaman of the Whills that achieving eternal consciousness required absolute selflessness.[3]”
The other question I have had on my mind a bit is how does Saw Gerrera lose his leg… So there you go I think that may have something to do with it also.
