totally agree greencapt, I didnt need any explanation either. And actually when Qui-Gon didnt dissapear after dying I didnt need an explanation for that either. I mean, Obi-Wan new he was about to die (he did let himself get struck down), Yoda also knew his end was near (though from more natural causes I would assume), Qui-Gon got unexpectedly impaled through the chest. In AoTC we hear Qui-Gon yell for Anakin to stop. That all worked fine for me, I never really understood where the thought that an explanation was needed came from, but one day i read how it was supposed to be explained in RoTs
