In the Star Wars universe, a Force ghost (also known as Force Spirit) is the apparition of a deceased Jedi who has become one with The Force . During the original trilogy, it was believed that all Jedi who died became one with the Force, their bodies vanishing, and then could return as apparitions at will, so that they could help those in need of their guidance. This would happen even to fallen Jedi who repented at the end of their lives, such as Darth Vader and the Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma (from the Expanded Universe ). In the former case, it is unclear if Vader's body actually vanishes, since Luke Skywalker is seen putting together a funeral for his suit, but it is assumed that the organic part of his body has disappeared. Many questions arose during . It can also be observed that the only Force ghosts seen on screen died in the presence of Luke Skywalker. Although there is no indication of this, it can (humorously) be theorized that the Emperor wished Luke to strike him down in the end of Return Of The Jedi so that he could die in Luke's presence and become a Force ghost himself. |
