To understand how force ghosts can interact with the physical world you have to understand how someone becomes a force ghost. Off the top of my head it seems that someone has to achieve a certain clarity (for lack of a better term) and I only recall "good" guys becoming force ghosts. Qui-Gon. Obi Wan. Yoda. Anakin after he is saved by Luke. And now Luke. So, if the force is balanced between "good" and "evil", where are the bad guy force ghosts? If the force is some kind of universal consciousness then it seems like it would have been inevitably skewed towards the "good" side over time by the addition of good guy force ghosts. [Reply]
Watched it yesterday. I liked it alot, the more i thought about it today. I didnt really care for 'Grumpy Old Man' Luke, but that was probably more of my own personal expectations of where the character would be as an old man rather than anything script related.
The movie seemed a little disjointed for the first hour or so...the last two acts really saved it for me. That was some great stuff. [Reply]

Were you furious that Obi Wan aged 55 years between 3 and 4?
How did he not know the lightsaber shattered it happened right in front of his face.
The scene would make way more sense if Luke was using a Green saber.
And it's been what 20 some years since Luke left Kylo wasn't the least bit confused that Luke still looks the same as he remembers. [Reply]

.
Blame JJ and his mystery box obsession for that one.
Why would cheery Luke Skywalker abandon his friends and leave them to die?
JJ left another director to clean up his mess there, and Rian, well, tried. [Reply]
