'Cause Qui-Gon isn't as important of a character in the OT. Yes, he did suggest they train Anakin and was right that he was the "Chosen One", but he didn't appear during any of the OT movies, nor was he ever mentioned.
Qui-Gon had learned to stay in the mortal plane but could not manifest himself as a ghost.

Nah, his character probably didn't exist. But.... I think that if George Lucas was going to replace the old Anakin, he could have at least put in a few thousand more Jedi in the background.

Now that would've looked spectacular only Jedi ghost knowledge, as far as we know, was known to few.
Big it probably would've been the best shot of both trilogies. Crazy Jedi ghosts behind Anakin, Yoda, and Ben, including Mace and everyone..lol I could see Mace looking at Anakin and thinking "S.O.B."

Well ive read a few of the novels and at one time Obi-Wan came to luke and told him that this is last time they would talk. So, maybe there is a limited time that they are able to come back as ghost and communicate with the living world. In thinking with that.....Qui-Gon Jin died many years before Luke was born and they didnt even know about each other....from storys that ol ben wouldve told. No mentioned of his name came about in the #4-6 episode.
Cant add Future characters that you havent thought of in a film made in the past...lol
there was another thread. about a year ago saying that there was a deleted scene in ROTS that it showed qui-gons ghost speaking with obi wan and yoda, right after yoda told obi that his master can stay communicate with them.
More then likly Qui-Gon had already moved on to the other side at the time.
I did have a few problems with the newest version of Anakin, Obi-Wan and Yoda at the end of ROTJ. I hated them changing Anakin from Sebastian Shaw (I think that is who it was who played Anakin's ghost originaly) to Hayden Christensen). From the movies it seems like they look like they do when they die. So why the exception for Anakin? Yes he was young when went over to the dark side. But when he died he had gone back to the lightside just prior to it.
Since qui-gon had nothing to with Luke and so he had no reason to show up. While the other three did since Yoda helped train luke same with Obi ,and well Anakin was his father and saved him from Palps.
it's b cuz Luke only new 3 Jedi in his life(obi-wan, yoda, and anakin) at the time. so Lucas could not put thousands of Jedi Luke did not know in the back
