Maybe if George had brought Liam back to do the Qui-Gon voiceover in Episode III? Seriously, the technology existed in 2005 that Liam could have phoned his lines in from just about anywhere.
As it stands, name dropping Qui-Gon in the scene between Yoda and Obi Wan just seems to come in out of nowhere.
We heard Neeson in AotC though.
And it’s more fun to get the news WITH Obi-Wan.
