Well, my explanation is that Jedis do NOT vanish when they die. Yoda was suffering from a desease that eat your cells up so fast, you vanish. Obi-wan did not vanish, he fell naked into a trash compactor chamber, leaving his clothes behind, and then he was naked trying to hold the trash compactors walls, and he got squashed and THEN he died.
