by the way, Padme does really died at the end of this movie, If it appears so it is probably to make darth vader believe she is dead.  Then when she has the twins Luke is given to given to Ben so he could take him to his Mothers's Brother and for Ben to hide in Tatooine.  Also for Ben to Protect Luke if Darth Vader finds where Luke is.  Remember Vader does not realize Luke is his son until the empire striked back. Leia Lives a couple years with her mother until she dies and then she gets the adoptive parents.  Ben is not told of Leia because Anakin probably knows he is going to have a child not twins and if Vader finds them in Tatooine he cannot reveal the secret.  Remember Jedis can read minds.  On the spirit thing it seems like the spirits appear when Luke is praying, thinking, or loosing hope.  So qui-gon would appear if he is prayed too by Ben.
