Star Wars alum Liam Neeson says he actually made lightsaber noises while filming his first action scene with Ewan McGregor in The Phantom Menace.Speaking on the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast, Neeson, who played Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn alongside McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, recalled how director George Lucas asked them to stop as the improvised sound effects weren’t necessary. “The first time, we actually had to use the lightsaber to start a little fight. We both automatically [made the noises],” the actor explained. “George said, ‘Let’s cut there. Boys, we can add that in later.'”Neeson also touched on how his makeup artist said he may not get noticed due to the brilliant visual effects in The Phantom Menace. “I was supposed to be doing this scene with a little flying monster,” he said. “I didn’t know what this thing was going to look like. It was a green tennis ball that was eventually going to be this flying monster. I’m in the makeup chair, and the lady says, ‘I [saw] a mock-up of the monster, and you could be a monkey smoking a pipe, and no one is going to be looking at you.'”RELATED: Star Wars: Why Yaddle Disappeared After The Phantom Menace
