A voice . Yet this was different , clearly not a specter of the past . This did n’t come with any store or visions of things choke by . Instead , it was as if the words whispered directly into his pinna , as if he was n’t a phantom lost in the ocean of the Force , but whole in body and heart as he once was : a powerful Jedi Knight , combat - ready with drawn lightsaber and wide stance , staring down dozens of battle droids without a single worry .

Anakin’s Force Ghost Return Has Always Been Confusing (Both Versions)

Thanks toStar state of war : The Clone WarsandStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith , it ’s confirmed in the establishedStar Warscanon that not every Jedi could become a Force Ghost . The ability to retain one ’s consciousness and bodily form after death command special breeding few were capable to con and master . WhileQui - Gon Jinn was the first bonk Jediin the Skywalker saga to keep up his identity , he could only speak to Yoda during the Clone Wars as he had n’t yet fully surmount the power to become a visible Force Ghost ( at least not until Jinn ’s appearance at the oddment ofObi - Wan Kenobi ) .

Qui - Gon Jinn showed Yoda the mode during the Clone Wars , andthe Grand Master was able to ready Kenobi on the path to learning how to become a Force Ghost as well during his exile on Tatooine in front of the original trilogy . To that end , the extent of specialised training needed to become a Force Ghost meansAnakin Skywalker instantly becoming a Force Ghostis quite rum , specially considering he had just expend nearly half his life as the Sith Lord Darth Vader . Whether it was the original gash ’s Sebastian Shaw or the remaster edition ’s Hayden Christensen play Anakin Skywalker , showing up at all following his death is currently confusing .

This is why Mike Chen ’s Anakin tarradiddle will likely be the standout tale from the upcomingFrom a sure Point of View : Return of the Jedi(releasing September 5th ) . As in the old ( now non - canon)Star WarsExpanded Universe , it ’s possible Anakin will receive quick mentoring from his old overlord Obi - Wan Kenobi at the moment of his death . Alternatively , it ’s potential the process was easy for Anakin due to his status as the powerful Chosen One , having brought balance to the Force according to the existing Jedi prophecies . Either way , thisReturn of the Jedianthology will clearly fix the issue .
