[net.movies.sw] RotJ and who gets to be a hologram

From:  Lynn Gold <FIGMO@KESTREL>

If every "good" person who died appeared in holograms, Luke's aunt and
uncle, not to mention all those Rebellion fighters, would have appeared
with Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin.  If it were the case that one must be a
Jedi knight in order to die and turn into a hologram, Luke would've had
to deal with a horde of dead Jedi holograms.  Therefore, the only ones
who could appear as holograms would have to be people Luke knew during
his lifetime who were Jedis and died "good."  This would explain why the
Emperor wouldn't show up in Luke's holograms.

P.S.--In spite of its flaws, I enjoyed the movie.
