They would have to really change the way they introduce and glamorize the older (Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan) through the rest of the prequels. Like, they'd have to make him out to be a near mythical level hero to the point where he was a beacon of hope to the rebellion.
They'd also need to cast somebody who looks more like Alec in order to swerve the audience with the reveal. If the idea is that Obi-Wan is revealed to not actually be Obi-Wan, then the reveal isn't as surprising if the actor looks nothing like the original. That would mean Liam probably wouldn't work because we'd all be thinking something off with his appearance.
