As of the semi-deleted scenes from ROTS that is. When I had just seen the OT, I *assumed* as a viewer that all Jedi could do that, as we only ever met three Jedi (or former Jedi). I never once thought "Geez- I need some explaination for THAT, I mean come on how are the Jedi able to do that???" I just took it for granted that I was watching a fantasy and that was part of the fantasy. It worked for me.
Now, I didn't expect to see in the PT (before they were made) a bunch of Jedi ghosts fighting along side of the live ones. That would be silly and lord knows the PT are not about silliness! Yet when Qui-Gon gets his butt whooped kinda easily by Maul, I did wonder 'Hmm... why the heck didn't he disappear- what a crappy Jedi!'. So after that we never really hear from/about Qui-Gon again... until that brief mention in ROTS. Thing is, with so much other stuff that needed to be developed, that small point should have just been left out entirely. To tell a good story you either need to develop a plot or cut out the crap. Instead GL mananged to promote the crap and cut out plot development.
Go figure.
