He was depressed and just wanted an excuse.
See his letter to Yoda
"My dear Yoda
I tried telephoning you yesterday evening but you had not yet arrived and as you are probably dead tired I shall leave you in peace. Hence this note.
I think the film is marvellously good and do congratulate you most heartily. It is expansive, handsome, gripping and yet somehow intimate. And the story — which we all know is somewhat complicated — comes over with simplicity. It didn't seem a minute too long.
Also I think it is beautifully acted — with one excruciating exception. Carrie, for my money, gives a truly superb performance and should get a whopping big Oscar. And I thought Harrison pulled it off charmingly and splendidly. As did the others. For my own part I'm afraid I thought I was sickeningly awful. I thought it was poor at the time we were doing it but I hadn't realized how wide of the mark I was. I don't in the least blame you, as you were helpful, but I do wish — when I asked George, very calmly and unfunnily, in the first week, if you'd all like to get rid of me he had taken me up on it. John Brabourne was right in his original objection. Well, there it is and some of the press have rightly pointed it out. One thing I am now grateful for is the disappearance of the song and dance — at least the agony isn't protracted.
Anyway, that's all fairly minor stuff. The film itself is outstanding. Clearly it is going to be a huge success.
With love,
Obi-Wan."
>no reason
Watch the movie again, doofus. Obi-Wan notices Luke and allows himself to be killed in order to motivate Luke to fight Vader and by extension the Empire.
>useless ghost
He sends Luke to Yoda, and Yoda tries his hardest to goad Luke into murdering Vader (and the emperor), which is what Yoda and Obi-Wan failed to do previously.
>given Luke advice while alive
As a ghost he can appear anywhere in the galaxy and is never in danger, while alive he was too old and tired to be of any use.

But doesn't
He only appears when it is time to party in the end

Dude.

He wanted the moral high ground

How else is he going to watch Leia and Han fuck or Luke masturbate?

Alec Guiness made Lucas do it. He despised Star Wars so much even going so far as calling it a manchild thing.
How can such a based actor be so unbased?
