I thought it had to do with something along the lines of the younger version of Anakin was pre-Vader, a little more pure (with the exception of the events in ROTS) and that version of him embodied the idea of a Jedi, while the older version represented the evil behind the mask for so many years. I thought I read that somewhere, but it could have been fan conjecture and not Lucas' vision.
I ALWAYS hated this excuse. If that were the case then Obi-wan and Yoda should have been shown in their prime as well...Poor guy who played vader had 10 seconds of screen time across all 3 movies and they bent him over on 7 of them. Lucas just liked to change things for his own reasons, he couldn't have cared any less if it made sense or not.
When did Qui Gon appear as a ghost? I don't recall that.
Obi wan was able to vocally project himself after a short period - death to the the trench run. I can't say he couldn't appear at that point, but a ghost appearing on front of the ship, while in flight, likely causes luke mental harm and prevents him from blowing up the DS
I believe in the last season of Clone Wars he appears to Yoda - which is how he knows to tell Obi-Wan about the ability.
But we got the crowd surfin Stormie on Coruscant! Thanks, George!

Now you're catching on....Lucas just liked to change things for his own reasons, he couldn't have cared any less if it made sense or not.
as for the canon explanation, we got basically what george told filoni.
Anakins purest heart was back then, BEFORE even the scar on his face.
which doesnt make sense, because when old Anakin is dying there in the shuttle hanger... he's back to being in the lightside... i dont get it
Right now we are learning to become a physical force ghost is not a easy task... it took qui gon from his death, to the time obi wan was cleaning up dead jawa's at the sand crawler with the droids, for him to master it and physically present himself.
i think we will learn it took obi wan from the time of his death to the time he appears on hoth to appear... Yoda and Anakin, they learned the trick real quick lol
I disagree, I don't think it's because he was necessarily in his "prime" as in powerful, etc, but it's when he embodied the true ideologies of a Jedi. I think Yoda and Obi-Wan never went off-course in their discipline, so they were always true and loyal to Jedi philosophies and thus when they died, there was no need for any other version of themselves.
But as read some of the comments, I'm starting to think it was just tie-in for the new movies,
RE Taking a long time.. how about Obi-Wan force-talking to Luke in ANH? RIGHT after he's become a force Ghost? "Run Luke, Run!" and of course guiding Luke in his X-wing...

Sebastian Shaw only played unmasked Vader in ROTJ
All the body acting was David Prowse throughout the OT
Except when it was Bob Anderson (most of the ESB/ROTJ fight scenes).
@halliwax, "From A Certain Point of View" is problematic, IMO, in that it comes after LFL saying "all the books will now be as canon as the movies"... except that this one... really doesn't work as such. Yeah, most of them are subjective viewpoints of the characters in question, but I have a really hard time believing that's what's going on inside Boba Fett's head. :facepalm
At any rate, there are problems in the OT. This is not news. Obi-Wan was following a specific arc that George had laid out (even if he changed his mind at the end). From when he was first cut down by Vader, he manifested first as a disembodied voice, then as a hazy and distant static figure, then as a closer and more distinct figure who was able to gesture, then, finally, as a "ghost" fully interactive with his surroundings, able to walk around trees and sit on a log. He was going to step back across the veil into corporeal form at the end to help Luke in his duel with Vader and the Emperor, but Lucas opted not to, as he felt that would undercut Luke's victory.
I can see Yoda taking to the technique faster. But Anakin immediately being able to manifest at at least an ESB-Dagobah level of visibility, clarity, and motion is a bit of a middle finger to Obi-Wan's efforts to get to that point. But then, he is the Chosen One... :rolleyes

The whole force ghost explaination is BS. It was a retcon after George forgot to have QGJ disappear in TPM. There was a much simpler answer all the way up to the awful explaination scene in ROTS. Obi Wan, Yoda and Anakin all knew they were about to die. They excepted and embraced their fate allowing them to become one with the force. Every Jedi in the PT was cut down in mid fight thus not allowing them that moment needed to join with the force.
Based on George's logic and the theory of new movie tie in, QGJ should have appeared in the line up and if he still owned LFL he probably would have altered it again.
If you watch SW chronologically the PT is just a spoiler for the OT. If watched in the (correct) order of release the question at the end of ROTJ is WTF is that guy with the creepy smirk on his face? Better still, just watch the OT and pop the PT in the bin!
Bobas chapter was a total disappointment... it was what 4 pages?
You know my buddy said the same thing, “that’s not Boba Fett”
I️ don’t like Daniel Logan as Boba Fett in the clone wars either
What I’m curious about is that female tuskin raider and if that was a green kyber crystal she found
