Why was Qui-Gon's ghost scene ommited from the movie?

If Lord of the rings can be a long 3 hr + movie, why couldn´t ROTS be that long too.

Because then the movie begins to drag and it gets boring.

Like LOTR.

simple, the quality of the production...

Well both movies are dang great and that part would have been
cool it would only take a few minutes people come to a theatre
to see the hole movie.

Hopefully in the DVDs they'll have it in
deleted scenes and here what a guy made of what it would
sound like not look like ok h***://***.putfile.com/media.php?n=Qui_Gon_Scene

Besides, LOTR was based on the awesome book by Tolkien. Lucas is taking this stuff off the top of his head.

😛 well Tolkien took more time and had more
time he spent about 4 years or somthing makeing
the books Lucas trying his best to make movies and books
so kinda harder for him plus his is not based on which hate

really like two different books people from different times
Tolkien from past LOTR the books take place in the past
GL is from our time future is movies/books are set for
future see what i mean but both movies books rock out
loud and GL has made 6 movies great accomplishment 😉

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

Not showing Qui-Gon as a ghost or at least a disembodied voice
was my one real disappointment with Ep. 3.

The whole ghost thing isn't really dealt with in the movie at all.....

Well blame it on Liam Nesson, not Geroge Lucas.

Or George Lucas, for making movies that Liam Neeson thought were slightly lameness... 😄

Tolkien took more than four years making LOTR, I can tell you that. He put out 'The Hobbit' in the 30's/40's, I think, and then put out the next three books over the decade of the 50's. He wrote them all at the same time, though.

Geroge Lucas took #0 years to make all six movies. It is not his fault. Also rumor has it that Nesson wanted alot money just for his cameo appearence. Just like Marlon Brando got $1 million for his little two minute cameo in Superman. It is just dumb.

#0?

To whoever said that the scene was at the end: In the screenplay, it was more towards the middle of the movie.

And has anyone actually read that scene as scripted? It was awful. Though it explains the whole Force ghost thing, it was written really badly.

Besides, he didn't take 30 years to make the Prequels! He wasn't even WORKING on the PT during that 30 year gap. He was waiting for technology to get betterer.

In the screenplay I have it's at the end... after Yoda's duel, when he's on the Asteroid thing... it happens just before Bail interupts him...

😕

But, yeah, it was written quite badly...

Really?

Hmm...I could have sworn it was earlier....I'm probably wrong though, because I haven't looked at it since before ROTS came out. Meh. It still was poorly written.

Yup, Lana, you're insane! My sock puppet agrees. 😄
