It's welcome news for fans of the franchise after years of hoping his character would make a comeback.

The 69-year-old will appear in the newly announced Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.

Liam and co-star Ciaran Hinds brought smiles to the faces of a group of Ukrainian refugees during a surprise visit.
