[Star Wars] What was so exemplary about Qui Gon Jin that he became the first force ghost ever to exist?

Or is it that all other Force Ghosts went unrecorded?

It wasn't that Qui Gon was better than, say, Yoda or Mace Windu, it's that he followed a slightly different system referred to as "The Living Force".  While it's not a main teaching of the Jedi Temple, it is compatible with their belief.  For that reason, Qui Gon was highly respected, but seen as a slightly loose cannon.  At the end of the day, he was acknowledged as a master, but not added to the council of masters.  Becoming a force ghost was a rare technique that most Jedi masters didn't know.
