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

You have to remember though that this is a totally unprecendetend thing happening here!

i think its a great touch, especially if it is so unprecidented. i find it cool to think that anakin is in a way resposible for the ghost thing since its the ghosts that are essential in helping bring him back and destroying the emperor.

Looks like it's all were getting about the ghost thing in this film anyway. Which is too bad, but also seems to make it all the more probable that this scene is actually in the film.

Hurray! Liam Neeson is at least heard in Star Wars AOTC. Hurray!

I think it would be neat if they added Qui-Gon's ghost in the end of ROTJ. And the poncho started off as a rag in Obi-Wan's hut when they filmed ANH, so I guess they just found a need for it and said "This would be cool."

We don't know for sure if he is in the movie.

and keep the dude out of ROTJ!

i agree with yerssot. it would be nice for quigon's importance to the overall saga to be seen by being in aotc and maybe ep III, but he has no place in the ot. he's not needed there.

I'm not going to like it when GL will change the OT (if he will do it) to tie in better with the PT!

yeah, i cringe every time i hear a rumor about altering the ot.

My reaction is more of a wince....but I doubt it'll ever happen so I'll comfort myself with that thought 😉

Doesn't actually prove anything both Qui-Gon being a ghost, does, it, quueq?

I still think Qui-Gin is the special case here. Anyway, if disappearing is not linked to the ghost trick, what the heck IS it?

queeq if i´d lived in USA would´ve bought it already, im in mexico, and the books dont come out til the last days of june.
the movie is premiered 4th of july you see.
kinda discriminating that "world opening day" lucasfilm says.

so thats why i asked u for the zip.

i found this at jedinet.com

it says that the jedi prescence after the death only has happened when the skywalker family is in trouble and disturbed.
it is the only link between the new quigon´s voice appearance and the last yoda-anakin-ben appearance.
it says that this jedis had to have a real close connection with the chosen one or even to luke who is also a skywalker to be present after death.
i find this theory with many flaws, it doesn´t seem to be the ultimate answer to the enigma
but its a nice theory
head over to this link : http://www.jedinet.com/prequels/fan_scenes/#61205,20020423,3214

and it is about in the middle.

i think it might be close. yoda says in empire, that the force allows you to see things yet to come and friends long gone. or something like that. yoda seems to be the srongest jedi at seeing the future, maybe the skywalkers are so strong that they can materialize their old friends from the force when they're in need. but that doesn't explain the disappearence thing. hopefully we'll have more info in about two weeks.

Hmm...interesting.

DO please remember that Obi-Wan's line to Vader in ANH is keyy-

"Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imaagine'.

This is something that Obi-Wan knows about, but Vader does not.

Yes, but the Emperor knows it then. He says the exact same thing to Luke. I don't know if it's to mock him or not, though.

i never took that line as completely literal. it means luke, not necessarily ob1 as a ghost. as evidenced by the fact that ob1 waited untill luke was watching to die. as for that skywalker theory, i see your point about vader, but maybe its something that they can't control. luke never really appears to try to conjure up ben, except after the duel with vader and he can't (if you face him now i won't be able to help, or whatever). so that being the case vader wouldn't understand the comment if meaning the ghost thing. he definetly doesn't know about luke yet, so i believe thats why he wouldn't understand. he thinks that he just killed the last jedi.

Rex- the Emperor does NOT echo that line. I have no idea what you meant by that. And no, the Emperor does NOT know about all this.

GL has SAID that that line to Vader is key to the ghost theory, so start taking it literally, folks.

Hmm, I remember hearing Palpy say that. But, then again, I have't watch ROTJ for awhile.

Although in EU, he transfers his mind to another body, a clone of himself. But that has nothing to do with disappearing and being a ghost, now, does it?
