No one seems to have answered this. There's an explosion because he's thrown down the reactor shaft. Presumably the oxplosion was as big as it was for dramatic purposes (i.e. it looked cool).

I did reply, quoting exactly what you said.

Technical reason: To make it look more dramatic

Plot Reason: Darkside possesed people do that

Completly unrelated, but... Return of the Jedi was just aired on a network over here, the 97 version. Nice to see Mr. Shaw back where he belongs, eyebrows and everything

Black eyebrows suck.

Anybod notice that in too many cartoons, eyebrows are black no matter the hair color? Blonde guys shouldn't have black eyebrows.

Isn't that the anime that Teen Titans is constantly spoofing? What's it like?

And the main offender I was thinking of was Fairly Odd Parents. At least in DBZ the eyebrows change with hair color.

LOL....that gives me an idea.

Where, exactly, is "here"? Are you in the US?

Why did the emperor explode? Who knows. Why didn't Qui-Gonn disappear is what I want to know.

War does not make one great.

The BEST answer I've seen about this was given by... uh... someone's whose name I must not say. It was something like this:

Obi-Wan meets Qui-Gon's ghost:

"Master why didn't you disapear when you died?"
"I did! Did you check my pulse? You burned me alive!"

According to the AoTC novel, nobody knew you could preserve your mind in the physical world after death until Yoda heard QuiGon's voice telling Anakin not to kill the sandpeople. Before then, it was assumed that their minds went on to an afterlife or ceased to exist.

With this prompt, Yoda discovered the Unifying Force, a more powerful level of the Force. This is why ObiWan and Yoda dissapered, so they could guide Luke even if they should die.
