Post-Episode III, Yoda & Kenobi got ghosting lessons from ghost Jinn





So when did Anakin learn to be able to do it in ROTJ?

Another bad line, since Vader clearly could imagine the "life after death" part of the force, since the promise of it is what drove Anakin to choose the Dark Side to begin with.

But Vader never learned of it, hence why he was kicking ObiWan's robes around after his body disappeared. That's what I've always figured Obi Wan meant, he learned the trick that Anakin/Vader wanted to learn to "save" Padme.

Obi Wan was able to stick around, and come to Luke and offer guidance.

As for how he showed up at the end of ROTJ, Yoda and Obi Wan obviously guided him after he died from the Emperor's shock treatment on the DS2, and they made him appear as a punk kid so they'd always have seniority over him in the afterlife

I still think that "Luke would be scratching his head wondering, WTF is that guy?"

I haven't seen ROTJ The Fucked Up Version and I never will, but I have been curious about this scene. Do they composite Ewan McGregor over Alec Guiness? If not, where's the logic in that? Also they would have to have a larva Yoda to stay true to form.

If that's the case, Anakin's purity was defeating the Emperor to save Luke. Why did he revert?

When Obi-Wan the Ghost talks to Luke on Yoda's planet, Obi-Wan shows off his great powers of getting tired and sits on a log (or rock?). He's a ghost, but he is given the same physical feelings of an 80-year old man.


No seriously, you don't need to question the all-powerful Midi-Chlorines. Obi-wan is loaded with them and he gets even more Midi-Chlorines as a ghost. I mean, Lucas had the whole story in his mind of the prequels and Star Wars 5 and 6, so it was always the Midi-Chlorines. The more at peace a jedi is with oneself, the more Midi-Chlorines you get. So when he tells Vader "I will only become more powerful," this is when he is technically referring to gaining more Midi-Chlorines in his immune system...
