Qui Gon
Why doesn't Qui Gon disappear when he dies?
Hello Star Wars fans. I have a question. In episode 1 when Qui Gon dies they burn him but when Yoda, Anakin, and Obi Wan they disappear and appear at the end of Return of the Jedi. Why do the other three disappear when they die and Qui Gon can't? I just found this weird.
During the original trilogy, fans and Expanded Universe writers believed that this happened to all Jedi whom died, even fallen Jedi who repented at the end of their lives, such as Darth Vader and the Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma. In the latter case, the vanishing was a sign that his spirit was redeemed. In works such as Tales of the Jedi, most Jedi who die are seen dissolving, and sometimes later appearing as ghosts.
Many questions arose during The Phantom Menace, when Qui-Gon Jinn's body did not vanish after his duel with Darth Maul, and instead was cremated on a Jedi funeral pyre like Vader. In Revenge of the Sith it is made known that "dying AND maintaining one's identity" is not in fact what happens to every Jedi, but an ability acquired by Qui-Gon's spirit and passed on to Yoda and Obi Wan.
Ironically, Qui-Gon Jinn was the first character to show Star Wars audiences that not all Jedi became Force ghosts upon dying (by virtue of his body not disappearing at death), but he was established in Attack of the Clones as a voice to Anakin Skywalker, and also in Revenge of the Sith as the first G-canon character to learn how to become a Force ghost, despite his body not disappearing at death. The implication is that one can learn how to be a Force ghost even after dying a standard death. Mara Jade Skywalker did something similar after dying. She only faded away when Jacen (secretly Darth Caedus) entered the room in a last ditch effort to inform the Jedi about him, which would seem to imply that a Force user who has mastered the ability to turn into a Force ghost has control of their body.
