 But if that's the case, why was Vader apparently surprised when Obi vanished in "Star Wars"?

Because that's the first time he's personally seen it. Think about it. Who vanished before his eyes?

 But dont you suppose that if it was a common occurance, in Annikin;s 13+ years as a Jedi, he would have heard or learned that Jedi vanish when they die.

Only IF it was common. However, nothing I'm saying is canon. It's never been explained, just saying how I can rationalize the idea. And the way I do that is see how the other Jedi deaths were different from the ones who vanished.

 

Maybe it wasn't common. Maybe seeing the spirit of a Jedi wasn't common either. What if, Yoda's last lesson to Obiwan was how to not only talk amongst the dead, but how to prepare for death.
