    Star Wars has a LOT of ever shifting lore. One piece that has stayed and evolved since the original trilogy is the Force Ghost. You know, the blue filter versions of all your favorite dead Jedi that pop up to appease the fans - I mean, give sage advice. It's true, when we look at Force Ghosts throughout the franchise, they seem mostly useless. Until we get to the newest trilogy, where they are shooting lightning and lifting giant ships out of the ocean. What?! If these Force Ghosts are so powerful and able to interact with the real world, why do they not help out with all the crazy stuff going down? That's what I aim to answer today!

    This can be taken even further when we talk about Mortis from Clone Wars. Mortis was a nexus of the Force, teeming with so much life that Qui-Gon could manifest a body. He never learned how to do that, so it would seem that if there’s enough of a Force nexus you can appear as a full ghost even without training.

      I think he ruined his own theory, he says that the dark side and light side of the force use different sensitivity’s 10:30, resulting in users of different sides of the force either having an advantage or disadvantage, he then goes onto say that force ghosts can only appear at locations with strong force presence( nexus). With obi wan appearing in dagobah 12:48, but dagobah is strong in the dark side of the force so obi wan shouldn’t be able to appear here, meaning that only light side force nexus’s will be able to spawn force ghosts as dark side users can’t use the ability

      I'll make the same basic framework of a point that Matpat does here -- there's a ton of valid complaints and criticisms, but THIS isn't one of them. This was not a completely contradictory act. What Rey appears to be doing here toward the end is truly getting rid of the lightsaber, possibly even destroying it. What Luke did at the beginning of The Last Jedi was just making a point. He tosses it very lightly behind himself, behind him where he knows full well there's still plenty of levels of island. There's literally no way the lightsaber will actually be damaged at all from what he does, and he's perfectly aware of that. Luke's just trying to get cute and fancy to win an argument. Rey was trying to genuinely squash the thing forever.

    I believe the Endor dilemma was because Obi-Wan had hope that Luke could save Anakin. In his exile on Tatooine he would visit Shmi's grave and apologize for failing her son, so he felt guilty about the events of Episode 3 and probably would have stayed out of it if he felt Luke could save Anakin. Likewise only Vader went down to the panet, without the Emperor, and was only there for a brief moment to land, pick up Luke, and take off, never leaving the landing pad to go outside among the plants.

  • @spencertaylor-mrliltay
    @spencertaylor-mrliltay Год назад +1

    Really love this way of looking at the Force and force ghosts. One point I’d also add that may explain why the Force Ghosts didn’t confront Vader on Endor or anything is because the ability to “become one with the Force” is a lightside ability, they might not be able to show themselves at least as prevalently when around Dark side energy. So simply by Vader being a Sith and especially with Palpatine it’s not only about the amount of life around them it’s also just the amount of the force surrounding them is dark which may be a reason they aren’t able to be there at least at full power.

    • @jonathanphillips3052
      @jonathanphillips3052 4 года назад +30

      i think that would make some degrees of sense. the dark side always has a way of twisting things. also given how rare the knowledge of force trancendance(what i will call the act of becoming a force ghost), the need for the technique to slay force ghosts or otherwise banish them would be rare. however it all ties into how the philosophies of the dark and light sides struggle with eachother. while light side wielders could likely more easily learn the technique of force trancendance(since it aligns with their philosophy more), the dark side would struggle more with it, since they are often focused heavily on matters of life, like building and sustaining empires, trying to save people they are close too, and clinging onto material life as much as they can. this would likely explain why it would be the darkside that would develop such a technique. if we consider how darkside and light side might operate from a dnd angle...light side would be like positive energy, restoring, preserving and bringing life into the universe. the darkside meanwhile is negative energy, the domain of necromancy and undeath, that maintains life by drawing it away, killing those they take it from, or twising life to go against the natural process. true balance would be to ensure that neither of these forces grows too strong. too much light side/positive energy and people no longer bother to innovate and people and lives and civilisations stagnate. meanwhile too much darkside or negative energy and there is no growth or benefit. only the endless taking of life to sustain a few.

      I think these nexuses are more likely "thin" areas where the veil between dimensions is weaker. In the case of Lothal, this manifested in a portal to the World Between Worlds. Ahch-to had an actual hole which led Rey to some weird mirror/vision dimension. And Mortis was likely a realm in between the real world and the Force dimension.

    Possible addendum to this theory:
    Popular theory in real world "ghosts" is that they need energy to manifest at all, and will take that energy from their surroundings, be it electric energy, heat, or even biological energy. The same would probably be true of force ghosts, which is why they manifest in areas with such positive force. However, Sith use the dark side of the force, and we've seen numerous times that the dark side has a corrupting influence on even the strongest of Jedi. It's entirely possible that the light and dark sides of the force behave like positive and negative magnetic forces, and that if the ghosts of a Jedi were to get too close to the negative influence of a Sith Lord, they might be more easily corrupted without their physical form. Or the presence of an overwhelming dark force simply causes enough disturbance in the force that it prevents a force ghost from forming. So even in a force rich area, a force ghost can't interfere with someone like Vader.
    Edit: Further evidence of this limitation comes from the lack of dark force users using the power of force ghosts. As they said, Qui Gon found his own path to immortality, something Palpatine was obsessed with. Given how powerful force ghosts are, if they didn't have very specific limits, someone like Palpatine would certainly want that power, but he didn't. He sought a different path towards immortality.

    • @robert_gaming
      @robert_gaming 4 года назад +11

      another thing is that palpatine, being as powerful as he is, would easily be able to probably dispel or destroy the force ghosts in some way, if not permanently, at least temporarily, so they wouldn't be much of a threat to him.

      @@josh4fun668 The only evidence of a dark side force ghost we've seen was Darth Bane, but even that was just an allusion "etched into time." However, being that that's the only canon material that's touched on the topic, the possibility is not disproven.
      ---
      My personal headcanon is that by the very nature of the dark side, dark side force is too erratic to form a definite figure after death. That's why we don't see the sith as ghosts. Additionally, when Jedi die they become part of the greater force, allowing other Jedi from all over to tap into their… force. Inversely, when Sith die their energy appears to congregate in smaller and more specific locations (the pit on the island in TLJ and the cave in Dagobah, though there are many examples of this I'm skipping for the sake of brevity).
      ---
      My point, sith can only become ghosts in super concentrated areas being that they are much more erratic and formless by nature, we just haven't seen this because where they congregate have only been shown to be a few select locations. Again, just headcanon.

    I wonder if on endor, they could appear but could not fight. That or since they have the ability to go into the future. They know when they are actually needed and therefore bother to show up vs when they know things will work without them. They might Could also be that depending on the number of midochlorians, it's harder to do things but never impossible. Like they can force themselves to appear on endor but fighting would be huge ask for them. Maybe since apparently appearing is a painful process they only do it when needed.

    Fun factoid about the Hoth scenes and production limitations: the blue-screening they did in the original trilogy left thiccc dark borders - not a problem in space, but on Hoth, they had to adjust the opacity so much that in the theatrical release (and pre-remastered VHS) you can actually see the AT-AT's leg through the frame of the snow speeder during the cockpit shots of Luke's robo-rustling. This likely holds true for obi-wan's force ghost as well, but I'm pretty sure they left his opacity the same when they remastered the originals, so your theory is still valid, of course.

    Sort of feel like the Endor plothole was pretty glossed over, when earlier it was mentioned that these force ghosts have the potential to see the future...and in that potential, perhaps they saw that Anakin's prophecy does, in fact, come true, though only if they did not intervene in that particular instance. Perhaps without Darth Vader's redemption, Luke would have fallen, either succumbing to the allure of the Dark Side or to wounds inflicted by Palpatine in their final fight.
    Is it a bit contrived? Perhaps a bit, though it's certainly closer to home for the franchise than the recent films.
