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

In ghost form for instance. 😉

But how would they do it?

Have a holo picture of Qui-Gon inserted into Obi's hut?

well, people claim one piece of his clothing is there...

Yes, his poncho was there. Nice piece of retro-continuity.

You can't exactly say it is his. But it looks like his and there is no ther reference to it.

I still feel that a scene where Qui - Gon is seeing Anakin about to lose it, and he cries out for him to stop, and Yoda picks that up in his meditations would be pretty cool ..... Qui Gon discovered Anakin, recognized him to be the chosen one mentioned in the ancient prophecy, and insisted that he be trained, going against the will of the jedi order. Anakin's his protege, and I think a scene of Qui Gon ( from the spritit world ) seeing Anakin about to start down the road of the dark side for the first time, and trying to stop him from doing so, and Yoda, deep in meditation, seeing this happen in his inner eye .... forgive me .... but I think it would be really cool.

Thats an cool idea harmax. It would be awesome to see on film.

I got the ART OF STAR WARS today which includes the AOTC script.... and the scene of Yoda meditating and hearing Qui-Gon's voice is IN THE SCRIPT!!!!

So what we have here is basically what we hear in ANH when OB1 speaks to Luke.... but then for the very first time.

I'll be right over.

And that means what, exactly? We already knew that.

queeq is there any way you can upload the script?
even on zip file?

Go buy it you cheapskate.

Well, it means, Helmet, that it is very likely that it IS in the movie. This isn't some kind of shooting script I think.... I mean it's pretty slick and stylised.... no removed scenes as is normal in exhaustive shooting scripts.... It's very compact. Now why would they publish this bit if it wasn't in the movie.

And yeah: GO BUY IT!!! I did. For your information: it's a book. You know, a thing made of paper with letters inside.... maybe you know it with pictures only. But this one has many pictures in fact, you might like it.

This is what I said right at the very start, queeq. And I thought we had established since then that it had been clearly said that QGJ wasn't in the film in any way. The thread having already SAID it was in the art of AOTC book, why didn't you say that at the time?

Because I just got it yersterday. 😉

And since no one posted the actual quote from the script, I didn't even know WHAT EXACTLY we were talking about. Also, I never saw what it looked like. With TPM there was this thing called a VIsual Screenplay... that included numerous scenes that were cut (like OB1 frying his sabre underwater). It looked like an original script. This doesn't... it's nicely layed out, very compact and slick. I think that adds credibility to this scene being in the film.

Here's the bit anyway:

Scene 121 - Interior Jedi Temple, Yoda's quarters - late afternoon

YODA meditates and suddenly hears a familiar voice, as if from a great distance. It is the voice of QUI-GON JINN, filled with alarm.

Qui-Gon: (V.O.) No anakin! No! Don't! No!

MACE WINDU enters the room and sits down. YODA opens his eyes and looks to MACE.

Mace Windu: What is it?
Yoda: Pain. Suffering. Death, I feel. Something terrible has happened. Young Skywalker is in pain. Terrible pain.

Quite ANH-ish, if you ask me. According to the novel Anakin hears it too.

Pretty cool stuff !

So, Qui-Gon is not IN the movie.... but his voice is. (if if if)

And yet, it DOES prove one doesn't HAVE to disappear to become a ghost.

all it proves to me is that i can't wait until the 16th. i don't have any thoeries about the ghost/disappearance thing, but i think this qui-gon stuff sounds pretty cool (if its included).

And I think it is....

Yes it is cool ! I mean ... try to imagine the emotions that Qui Gon might feel ( even though he does not have a physical body anymore ) ... when he sees the young boy who he encountered on Tattoine, and whom HE, recognized to be a vergence in the force ... the chosen one, who would bring balance to the force, and who HE alone, amongst all the Jedi, insisted be trained .... imagine what Qui Gon might feel when he sees that same boy, grown up, about to perform an action that would start him down the path of the darkside, which would then forever dominate his destiny .... I think its a really nice touch ... Qui Gon crying out from the spirit world to Anakin, asking him to STOP !
