Connery could've done it, yes, but he'd also need a supportive director: one could imagine him misunderstanding the character and trying to play it like Ramirez in Highlander. (Which is a great performance--for Highlander, not Phantom Menace.)

Connery was a smarter actor than he’s generally given credit for… but yes, even the best will often need a director. Of course my Sean Connery Phantom Menace is directed by John Boorman, so… problem solved.
