MSILLC Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 how about maybe in all his time as Vader he spent some time in the Jedi Temple researching this kinda stuff... he was always about ultimate powers of forever life, this would seem like a logical step yes? Sometimes simple is best!
Miltiades Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 I don't think the Jedi Temple contained information about becoming a Force Ghost, as only a few Jedi managed it, or even knew about it.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I don't think the Jedi Temple contained information about becoming a Force Ghost, as only a few Jedi managed it, or even knew about it. There are sections of the Library that are restricted to the most powerful masters. Besides, if Jedi like Yoda knew, wouldn't he make an entry for it in order to enlight the Force users about it's mysteries even more?
Miltiades Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 That's what I thought, too. But why wouldn't any Jedi have picked up the technique, then? Maybe Yoda deliberately left out that kind of information, because of the dark side closing in. Or maybe he still didn't know exactly how to become a Force Ghost at that time? He had almost 20 years left to learn it from Qui-Gon before dying, same with Obi-Wan.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 That's what I thought, too. But why wouldn't any Jedi have picked up the technique, then? Perhaps not every Force user can do it. Perhaps there are restrictions, or maybe drawbacks. What do we know about it, anyway?
PoiuyWired Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Well, there are a few possable reason. 1) You don't really have time to test the technique of becoming a Force Ghost... cause you have to be dead to even try that out. 2) There many be many who would try to pull a Force Ghost, but failed. 3) Qui-Gon's success does help yoda and friends to succeed much easier.
Yodafone Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 It has to do neither with Anakin's power or anything else. Dark Side of the Force destroys who you are. It eats you from within and punishes your actions. The more attuned to the Dark Side one is, the less powerful and attuned to the true nature of the Force you are. When Vader let go of his anger, and turned to the Light, his natural connection to the Force strenghtened. I believe that Jedi strong enough in the true way of the Force (Light side) can manifest themselves easier, due to their connection and purity of spirit.
adamqd Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 ^^^ nice theory, and up until Episode III I had a similar belief, but if you watch EP III and the commentary on the DVD, It explains that becoming a force ghost is Skill to be learned, not the Product of a good life. I still believe that Anakin became a Ghost because he returned to the Light, yes, but he didn't train himself to do this, which leads me to believe that he was destined to become one with the force, due to his immaculate conception (IMO)
Marius Fett Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Maybe Jedi have a choice? Either stay or go on...
Alexrd Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Actually, Qui-Gon learned how to be a Force Ghost from a Shaman of the Whills, Anakin being conceived by the Force has this ability, and Yoda and Obi-Wan had learned from Qui-Gon.
Sir Phobos Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 It's very well possible that Anakin 'disappeared' off camera. We only see him lose consciousness after his goodbye to Luke, his body probably shut down shortly after that (off camera). It's also possible that his path was like Qui Gon's. Obi Wan's 'disappearing act' is truly one of a kind.
PoiuyWired Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Maybe off "camera" QuiGon/ObiWan shows up and hand the dying Vader the "Idiot's Guide to ForceGhosting"
