LA TimesTurns out Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor, on set with Jake Lloyd as the young Anakin Skywalker, got a scolding while making “The Phantom Menace.” Zzzzrr. Liam Neeson recently revealed that he and his “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace” co-star Ewan McGregor were scolded on the set of the 1999 film by director and “Star Wars” universe creator George Lucas for making lightsaber noises while filming fight scenes. Boys, we can add that in later.’” Neeson played the Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn and McGregor played his young apprentice — known as a padawan in “Star Wars”-speak — Obi-Wan Kenobi. Entertainment & Arts Liam Neeson asserts he’s ‘not racist’ after controversial revenge-killing interview Liam Neeson appeared on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday to try to make amends for a recent eyebrow-raising interview during which he described a “primal urge” to kill a black man in an act of revenge. “Occasionally, there’s kids after a ‘Star Wars’ autograph and I don’t want to give autographs at the airport,” Neeson noted.
