How come some but not all of the Jedi disappear when they're killed? I'm sure this has been asked here before, but what's the deal? Some disappear, some just 'get killed' - but this doesn't affect whether they can come back as a ghost - Yoda, Obi-Wan and Anakin all appear to Luke. What's the deal? | |

All of the Jedi in Eps 1-3 just "die".
Then in Ep 3 we hear that Qui-Gon has found his way back and is one with the living force or whatever. Obi-Wan's assignment is to commune with him to learn how to do this while on Tatooine. So, when Obi-Wan and Yoda die, they already know the path to the eternal force or something like that, hence the disappearing/reappearing. They must have taught Anakin real quick too, I guess. 
...that's my basic understanding...we need Jedi Master to give us the full lowdown... | |

Anakin's excusable, I guess, since he was supposedly created by the Force...
I forget - did Yoda disappear? I thought he just "died"? | |

Oops - major faux-pas on my part. Now I remember.
I haven't watched it for years. I haven't made my way through the DVDs yet (although I got them for Christmas 2004...) | |

Right. It wasn't anything he needed to learn. Everything else that Endorphin74 said is pretty much on the money. | |

It all has to do with the force. Understanding the force, the life energy that is all around, really isn't that hard of a thing to do. Well, not for me anyway. Some jedi, who are true to the force, become one with the force. They disappear because they give up their phyical lives. In such a way as the energy that holds a person together at the atomic level is that person in the force, they just let go of the phyical building blocks, (mostly carbon). Meanwhile some die as likened to the phyical death because they are not ready or not able to just transend the phyical. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

Don't look for logic in a George Lucas film. | |
