Is Qui-gon allowed to 'ghost out' ?

....While we're on this interesting topic, how about adding Qui-gon's ghost to the ensemble finale in EP6? I'm not sure if he can be positioned into the frame, but it's something to think about.

The conversation with OB1 & yoda at the end of ROTS was one of the most disappointing cop-outs I've ever seen in a film series. Yoda basically said Qui-gon was going to teach OB1 how to "become one with the force" if I remember correctly (I do not have ROTS in my collection). But how can that be if Qui-gon did not disappear himself?

Anyway, enough of my ranting, as far as I know Qui-gon should ghost-out. I don't believe there is any reason he shouldn't. In fact if he ghosts-out when he dies it would actually make that conversation between OB1 and Yoda kind of make more sense. If I were you i would go and look at that scene just to make sure but I'm pretty possitive there is nothing in the movies at all that states Qui-gon was NOT suposed to ghost-out, so we are left with that nagging "why not?"...
As for the Pyre scene I never liked it too much because the acting by Loyd was so bad, I mean, that fake crying "Ugh" and there is really nothing very important said there except for Yoda's and Mace's remarks about "always 2 siths" which are repeated elsewhere in the PT so I think it can be cut out.

As for Qui-gon in EP6, I thought this was just the prolouge?
I don't think the OT should be tampered with to that degree and anyway its Luke's personal "vision" after all and he never knew Qui-gon but that's just my opinion.
