So then... back to the ghost thing... (SPOILERS)

Ah, the perennial topic returns...

Not that I have actually read it myself, but I have been told that both the AOTC novel and the 'Art of AOTC' book make strong reference to Qui-Gon trying to communicate to Anakin just before he wipes out the Tuskens.

And more to the point, Yoda ALSO hears Qui-Gon, as he is probing the Force to try and feel the future at the time. The book (apparently) notes that this is a considerable surprise to him- for he had no idea that a Jedi could continue to do anything after death at all.

Well, we'll have to see what is included in the film itself- but damn interesting, eh?

I am sure queeq and myself can argue this one to death; I can't be arsed to re-count everything we have said on this subject so far...

Very interesting.

But don't worry, we wont rehash the debate until the movie comes out.

I am 99.9999999999% sure that Qui-Gon's voice will not be heard in the film.

We'll see. There's still that 0,000000000000001% chance. 😉

That and the lava duel together you may move up to .00000000002%.

Lots of possibilities I see. 😄

Well I kind of hope that it is in. The Qui-Gon thing I mean.

Certainly I was surprised to hear this news- which I cannot in any way confirm- because I was also sure about Qui-Gon's no show.

But it WAS in the script at some point, maybe very early on, and it has made it to the book (again, so I am told). Which at least gives us an indication about which way GL is thinking even oif there is no canonical position here.

It wasn't in a early draft of the script, but it is in the novel. I think it is just one of those things that's in the novel, but not the film. TPM's novel had many of those.

I understand that the "Art of AOTC" book makes out it was in the script.

And don't they use the real script in Art of AOTC?

I couldn't tell you.

It may have been in later versions of the script, but that doesn't even mean it's in the film.

right. yall have to wait an see the movie to be sure.

Yes indeed.

I sure hope that happens. As a guy on the Official Sites' forum says, Liam Neeson said wasn't in the movie, but that doesn't mean that he isn't HEARD.

Emperor Helmet, don't mess.

I hope it IS in the movie ... it would be a really nice poignant touch i think; because that episode, marks the beginning of the fall of anakin to the dark side; and Qui Gon, who first discovered him, wanted to do his best to dissuade him, or hold him back from starting down the dark path; because once u do, forever it dominates your destiny in the words of Yoda; and Qui Gon trying his best to communicate with anakin and stop him from taking that first step to the dark side ( by giving into his emotions of anger and violence, and thirst for revenge ) which would recoil on him with tragic repurcussions would be a really subtle and, like i said, poignant touch.

starting down the dark path; because once u do, forever it dominates your destiny in the words of Yoda

😂 😂
Helm is embarrassed coz the script of "the art of AOTC" is NOT the scriptMENT he posted here!!!!
😂 😂

Spoiler:
The novel for AOTC does contain Qui-gon's voice, but there is little evidence of his ghost actually showing up.
