Episode 069 - Exploring Force Powers: Force Ghosts

June 30, 2024 • Connor and Alex • Season 3 • Episode 17

In this episode, the hosts explore the ability of certain Jedi, starting with Obi-Wan Kenobi and extending through Luke Skywalker and Yoda, to retain their consciousness and personality after death to provide counsel, advice, and input into the world as ghosts or apparitions that live within the Living Force. The episode explores the agency the Force Ghosts display, their powers and limitations, and the origins of this power: potentially an entirely new ability granted to Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda prior to the fall of the Jedi Order and extending to the current present day in Star Wars canon.
