In AOTC Yoda and Mace Windu decide it is time to tell the senate that their ability to detect the dark side is limited these days. I know a lot more but after typing it I deleted it because there may be some people who don't want to hear spoilers.

The Sith are not evil individuals looking for their own power. They are a secret evil force Users intending to conquer the galaxy. They have been sneaking about for 1000 years, they need to have apprentices so the plan can continue. 2 Sith are harder to discover and with only 2 Sith the dark side is less diluted (compare thousands of Jedi sharing the "good bits" versus 2 supervillains with half the Dark side each). For 1000 years Sith have been planning knowing they personally will not see the victory but knowing that some day the Republic will be conquered.

I have not seen the revised Episode IV, but I do seem to remember that in the original one, Han shoots first and the other guy was not pointing a weapon or anything, just talking.

This is true. In the special edition, Greedo fires first and misses Han, who then shoots and kills Greedo. Crappy political correctness garbage...

Why did Obi-Wan and Yoda disappear when they died in episodes IV and VI, but none of the Jedi who died in episodes I and II disappeared?

Because the force was no longer a mystical/magical force in I and II, but debased to the mitichlorian crap.

There was a Sith war back 4000 years before the current Star Wars saga. So the Sith have been around for quite awhile. Unfortunately, you get so many Sith in the same room, and they think they're the one who's going to rule, and so start killing each other. So eventually the 2 Sith rule came around. This was explained in one of the novels, but I don't remember which one.
