Ok, So Many of you have seen the film. One thing gets me. Many loose ends were tied up. However, on The Tantive IV, the most loose of ends hits and goes so fast it was funny. Let me break it down...(my way)
Yoda: Ok, Bail get out. Obi-wan I got some information for you. You gotta study hard. I was talkin to your former master.
Obi-Wan: Qui-Gon?
Yoda. Yes he talked to me....Yep....Immortality.
Fade.
Hmmm it went sorta like that.

Ok, so I remember the guy at Toys R Us on April 4, goin ape lookin for the ghost of Qui-Gon figure. I told him he was mentioned but not seen. Well, I know not to talk to people during a feeding frenzy. Oh, A reliable Lucasfilm Source told him that Liam showed up for about 6 hours to do a short Green screen scene. So it was in the film. Obi-wan and ghost Qui-Gon talk about the Anakin Dark Side thing.
So, to that guy....Ya, I told ya so.

But come on, where was the magic. it was a simple way to tie up the question why no ghosts in Episodes 1-3. So, then the Question is raised......Why Didn't Qui-Gon dissapear like Yoda and Obi-Wan did in the original trilogy? Ah, i dunno-Only George Knows.

So what do I think? It had to be done. Rightly done? Dunno. I guess it worked....way to sit on the fence!

Just wait for my Return of The Jedi Comment from Princess Leia...Tied you did not.
