People are already disgusted with the changes. I personally think Qui Gon is one of the best characters in all of the films, however, I'm sure people that don't like the changes would have been up in arms.

You know....this sounds like it's been LucASS's whole approach to Star Wars ever since the special editions.....
What if we put Jabba back in ANH...
What if we make Greedo shoot first...
What if have Anakin say "YIPPEE"!!!
What if we have this all CGI character that is just like Roger Rabbit.....cuz he was kinda cute and made me laugh....
What if we explained the force as being caused by some thing living in our cells!!! That sounds cool....people will jsut LOVE that.....
What if we use all these special effects, John and totally take away from the story......everyone's going to complain anyway, so why not give them something to complain about....
What if we just not explain why Leia remembers Padme even though she was just an infant......I wrote myself into a corner on that one and I can't figure out how the hell to explain it.....
What if we have Vader scream Noooooooo just like in Frankenstein......hey, I'm working on burnout here....stop laughing Rick.......you want to keep working for me.....then you better start acting like my bitch....
What if we have this puppet Yoda that looks like a heroin addict.....I'm sure no one will notice....I sure won't...and I'm the director.....
What if we all just do what we can to make it look good enough....after all.....think of the merchandise we can make money from this....so let's just do what we absolutely have to.......look, I don't care is there's a good story here.......I'm saving my Citizen Kane style cinematic masterpiece for my Howard The Duck sequel.........

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Now, see....I can see the humor in that statement, however Qui Gon, Yoda, Ben and Anakin are eventually supposed to be the only ones who possess this power.

As of the semi-deleted scenes from ROTS that is. When I had just seen the OT, I *assumed* as a viewer that all Jedi could do that, as we only ever met three Jedi (or former Jedi). I never once thought "Geez- I need some explaination for THAT, I mean come on how are the Jedi able to do that???" I just took it for granted that I was watching a fantasy and that was part of the fantasy. It worked for me.
Now, I didn't expect to see in the PT (before they were made) a bunch of Jedi ghosts fighting along side of the live ones. That would be silly and lord knows the PT are not about silliness! Yet when Qui-Gon gets his butt whooped kinda easily by Maul, I did wonder 'Hmm... why the heck didn't he disappear- what a crappy Jedi!'. So after that we never really hear from/about Qui-Gon again... until that brief mention in ROTS. Thing is, with so much other stuff that needed to be developed, that small point should have just been left out entirely. To tell a good story you either need to develop a plot or cut out the crap. Instead GL mananged to promote the crap and cut out plot development.
Go figure.

Hmm...but the thanks is cancelled out for everything else he said 'yes' to. I remember him saying that the scene of Anakin leaving his mother was emotionally gut wrenching.
I left the theatre. And didn't look back. Didn't look back.

I mean maybe the others werent strong enough, or in touch enough...I cant be sure now cause all the other info has biased me, but I think my thought on it was based on the dissappearing thing. I never saw it as Obi-Wan got cut in half and vanished. I saw it that he vanished into the force of his own will before he was cut down. Same with Yoda, he became one with the force before/as he died. I always figured Anakin's body was in the suit but that being burned 'set him free' so to speak hence his appearing at the end.
Its one of those things that was never a problem until Lucas made it a problem by addressing it (or trying to address it)

George also suggested adding Padme to the ghost scene, though he claims it was a joke to provoke Rick.
Its mentioned in some bts book.

that might actually be cool, if they had those two then a pan out and see thousands of jedi inthe forest. but thats gets rid of the whole having the learn how to be a ghouts idea.

Actually, no one possessed this power until Lucas was filming the end of ANH. Ben was originally supposed to survive ANH, but his character did nothing after leaving the DS, so Lucas killed him off. The "Ghost" stuff came later.
Guinness was not too happy about this change, I might add.

This gives me hope that we might see this in a future edition, as it is the ending I've wanted since the prequels. Qui-Gon is the one who discovered the "One with the Force" ability, not to mention he is responsible for Anakin becoming a Jedi. Padme's love with Anakin was a defining, driving force for both their characters, and being Luke and Leia's mother, she deserves to be there as well. My order of events:
-Luke first looks off into distance
-Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Yoda appear in their old forms
-Cut back to Luke and Leia comes over to bring him back to the celebration
-The original three ghosts morph into their younger selves, with Padme appearing at Anakin's side
-Luke smiles as seeing his mother and the Jedi in their prime, rejoining the group
-Qui-Gon appears beside Obi-Wan
-The original final shot of the OT characters
-The NEW final shot of the SAGA characters, the Force spirits
Most of you will probably hate that, but that's what I'd like to see.

I have a quote for you:
"GOOD LORD".
Bind the two nicely? I want to bind that idea to some TNT and send it to the moon.
