Why Qui-Gon Jinn Wasn’t At The Party On Endor

The finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi includes a Force ghost cameo of Qui-Gon Jinn before the events of Return of the Jedi – so it’s odd that he wasn’t at the rebel victory celebration on Endor. Throughout Obi-Wan Kenobi, Obi-Wan makes concentrated efforts to contact his former master’s spirit. When Obi-Wan finally sees Qui-Gon Jinn in the show’s final scene, Qui-Gon reveals to Obi-Wan that he “was always here,” despite his pupil’s failed attempts to reach him. Qui-Gon’s appearance not only provided a well-earned cameo for the character, but also symbolically represented a moment of closure for Obi-Wan.
