Why didn't Qui Gon dissapear?

Sure. Geroge Lucas said this to Starlog in June last year:

"We talked to Liam about recording new dialogue, and we went back and forth about it. This dialogue is something we already had from Menace. Next time will be a little more complicated."

No mention of an actual appearance. Nor does Liam talk of one when he commented thusly to sci-fi wire:

"Liam Neeson told SCI FI Wire that he wasn't surprised to hear that the voice of Qui-Gon Jinn, his slain Star Wars: Episode I character, factors into the action in Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones. And he remained mum on his reported appearance in the upcoming Episode III. "I haven't seen [Episode II]," Neeson said in an interview. "My sons told me about it, but I knew it was going to happen."

In a spoiler for the latest prequel, Qui-Gon's cry of "No, Ani!" can be heard as Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) massacres the Tusken raiders that murdered his mother, Shmi (Pernilla August). "I don't know how they did that," Neeson said. "We tried to record something here [in New York City, where Neeson lives]. But then they digitalized something and put it together and sent it to me, the way they can these days, to hear [and for his approval]. I thought, 'That's good.'""

And do not wriggle out of it. You said that I was trying to say that Liam would not be a ghost in episode III. I said NO such thing. But what you said I SEEMED to say- that he WOULD be a ghost- I DID say- so you are making no logical sense in trying to defend yourself by saying you use the word 'seemed'. Please read my posts properly.

I have seen plenty of things about Liam maybe recording new dialogue, but never EVER have I seen an official source saying a bike accident stopped him from making a personal appearance, And as I say, he had recovered from that accident long before filming ended.

Whatever. Provide the actual link please.

as for the implied topic , it seemed to me that you were scoffing at the person's questioning of why QGJ didnt turn into a "ghost" like others had. The way you responded was (to me) implying that he would NOT.

So for the record in your opinion, will he or wont he?

I think the indication is that he will but that raises questions about his body not disappearing.

Links? I have given you the quotes direct. One from Starlog (which is a magazine, hard to link to), the other from sci-fi wire (which is a website, easy to find). Feel free to check out those publications yourself but unless you are simply going to say I made all that up it- which would say a lot about you- it would be pointless.

Face it- you quoted a rumour as fact, and it does not stand up against official sources.

NO rumor, all the other information provided on the star wars site was/is factual, so feel okay in repeating what I read.

I dont have to hear GL say it himself. Im sure he even forgets some of the star wars trivia that is out there!!

Well, unless you can give an offiical source confirming what you say it can be rather discounted. I am not necessarily denying it is so, just I have never heard it officially confirmed before- though many sites carry the rumour- and I would like confirmation. There is always far too much nonsense out there to believe it without cause.

it is my understanding that yoda and obi wan dissappeared because they made themselves at one with the force before dying. qui gon was in the middle of a lightsaber duel. thrust, parry, damn, is that a red lightsaber in my chest?

that would mean it was a known trick, which clearly it isn't

Indeed, sorry, Rogue, nothing to do with that at all.

wait patiently and it'll be explained...if Aft EpIII it lies unexplained....make something up to satisfy your question

liam neeson was supposed to make a ghost appearance on AOTC, but he was engaged somewhere else. on what, i dont know. lucas decided to simply use liams voice. i read this somewhere, i forgot where.

erm... NO
they never intended to use his ghostly form

Indeed.

well, i know what i read. again, lets agree to disagree.

What you read doesn't really stand up against what official sources have said, and no official source has ever made such mention.

Im with you rogue, I also have read that! It's okay, no one really knows on here, what was intended. We will see for sure I think in EPS. 3

That still makes no sense. What happens in episode III has NOTHING to do with what was intended for episode II! Whether QGJ is a ghost in III or not, that does not change the fact that he was never intended- according to any official source- to be a ghost in AOTC.

I think he isnt a ghost because he didnt die with honor. He died in combat. -Like Obi Wan- Obi Wan went with honor in his death, as did DV.

that would mean it was a known trickit wasn't

Yup, NOTHING to do with honour or anything like that. It is something that will be DISCOVERED by Yoda and Obi-Wan in the coming film.

Maybe it will be developed later in time. Like Ush said, in ep3.
