During a recent appearance on the Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast, actor Liam Neeson shared several amusing and insightful anecdotes about his most iconic roles.

The highlight was his perfect, impromptu impression of Watto, the flying junk dealer from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Neeson also discussed his own character, Qui-Gon Jinn, explaining the in-universe canon reason why Qui-Gon couldn't appear as a full Force Ghost for many years—he hadn't completed the necessary training before his death.

Additionally, Neeson revealed a surprising fact about his role as Ra's al Ghul in . Due to director Christopher Nolan's secretive filmmaking style, Neeson had no idea he was playing the main villain. He filmed his part believing he was simply a mentor to Bruce Wayne and was completely surprised by the twist when he finally saw the movie.
