Star Wars : The ascending of Skywalkeris Disney ’s last chance to get the franchise back on track come the repercussion to its harbinger , The Last Jedi , and box office floating-point operation Solo . As a result , we can expect JJ Abrams to call upon some familiar face to appease fans — regardless of whether they ’ve been killed off before .
Mark Hamill late revealed he would be playing a Force ghost in the moving picture — to the surprise of absolutely nobody . We now look at the ghosts we ’d like to see make an appearance in the net blockbuster of the trilogy , as well as those who we would rather go without .
Want: Luke Skywalker
Hamill reveal Luke will be back in episode 9 is dead no surprise whatsoever . InStar Wars , if you ’re a Jedi , you may render with a nice , lustrous blue hue around you and it is wide expect that he will be dish out advice to protagonist Rey as she continues her quest to become a fully - fledge Jedi and get to the bottom of the mystery regarding her parents .
Luke is potential to be what Obi - Wan Kenobi was to the character during the case of the original trilogy . And given how reprehensively underused he was in the 2015 blockbusterThe Force Awakens , we’re definitely on board with Hamill reprise his use one final prison term .
Want: Obi-Wan Kenobi
speak of Obi - Wan Kenobi , how great would it be to see the Jedi comeback to the franchise ? While Alec Guinness is sadly no longer around , Ewan McGregor has carry interest in reprize his role amid widespread calls for him to get his own solo motion picture .
McGregor even record sweet negotiation forThe Force Awakens , with his voice heard call out to Rey when she relate the lightsaber of Luke Skywalker for the first time . Given how knowing he is , his words would no doubt profit the wannabe - Jedi . And the panorama of seeing the eccentric of Obi - Wan and Luke on CRT screen for one last outing is plainly too good to turn down .
Want: Yoda
WhileThe Last Jedihas been repeatedly criticise in the 18 month since its release , most can correspond on one thing : that the return of Yoda as a Force spook , vocalise by Frank Oz and back in marionette chassis rather than the CGI mess that was the prequel trilogy ’s take on the character , was a masterstroke from director Rian Johnson .
Everybody was on card with the former Dagobah inhabitant returning to give Luke a good whack with his stick , in particular given how sullen Skywalker was during that movie . He gave his former learner some utilitarian advice and more of the same would go down a violent storm in theRise of Skywalker .
Want: Anakin Skywalker
Sure , Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker was a decision slammed by critics of the prequel trilogy . But time has been a healer for the actor and , with many now more - appreciative and intellect of his take on the Jedi who would go on to become Darth Vader , there ’s simply no better sentence to retort to the grownup screen in the role that has delineate his career to date .
Kylo Ren has been talking to Vader ’s helmet and it would be fascinating to see a aspect where the First Order leader converses with his grandad . Similarly , one of Luke and Anakin regret the transformation of Ben Solo and even one of Leia gain out to her father through the force . Disney really needs to make it happen , particularly with his old sea captain , Emperor Palpatine , fare back .
Want: Han Solo
Yes , yes , we know that only Jedi can become Force ghostwriter . Or , rather , Force - sensitive users can acquire the glossy blue hue . But number on , forget canon . How awe-inspiring would it be to see Harrison Ford ’s legendary Han Solo back for one , terminal swansong ?
There are even theories out there that Han could be Force - sensitive . It would certainly explain his unnerving power behind the wheel of a spaceship and his remarkable ability to down foes with a chargeman without even look at them . Having Han and Kylo interact would be an emotional masterstroke and be the perfect direction of record the true posture of the First Order leader , who persist in to have his card close to his chest of drawers .
Want: Leia Organa
Carrie Fisher is tragically no longer with us , but her flavour and character of Leia Organa sure lives on . The Rebel Alliance legend and former Princess will be in theRise of Skywalker , but we ’re not certain how much screen time she ’ll have given Disney are relying on old footage from bothThe Force AwakensandRise of Skywalkerto give her a satisfying final outing .
Should Leia expire — and there ’s a possibility she may do for narration cause — it would make sense for her to occur back as a Force ghost . Having her stand alongside father Anakin and chum Luke , perhaps at the end of the movie , would decidedly inspire audiences into having to pull out tissues to wipe away their split .
Don’t Want: Emperor Palpatine
While we ’re on board withStar Warsbending the rules slimly with violence ghosts if it means having Han Solo swaggie back onto the covert , we ’re opposing any decision to give Emperor Palpatine a bright blue chromaticity of any kind .
Do n’t get us wrong , Palpatine in spirit form is an estimate that pee sense , specially if they then utilise the magnanimous , bad villain to try and transfer his essence into somebody else . But as a trace ? No agency . That should only be allow for the Jedi — and Han . Sith Lords are a different breed entirely and it would take out from the villainous aspects of their personality if they were to return in ghost form .
Don’t Want: Mace Windu
Samuel L. Jackson was recently necessitate which character he ’d love to have another crevice at playing . He responded by articulate : “ I ’d really love to give one more running game at Mace Windu inStar Wars . ” When remind that Windu had been kill by Palpatine in the prequel trilogy , he add : “ There ’s a long history of one - handed guys that were Jedis , that have lightsabers , that still made it . Jedis can fall from incredible heights and not go bad , like cats . ”
While we ca n’t fault his logical system , it ’s in spades something that would be well suited to a twisting - off film or tv set serial rather than theRise of Skywalker . He ’s been long gone now , so many age have reach that bring in Windu in , even for just a abbreviated cameo , makes no sense from a narrative perspective .
Don’t Want: Darth Vader
We ’re fine with having Anakin Skywalker back because the Jedi had reverted back to his old safe by the prison term he slip by away in Luke Skywalker ’s arms on the second Death Star . We ’d seen him at the final stage of the moving-picture show , reunited with honest-to-god wise man Obi - Wan Kenobi and Yoda , entail he had done enough to earn redemption and a new incandescence .
But Vader is dead now and having him back as a specter would be the wrong move . JJ Abrams play with the idea of an Anakin - Vader hybrid forThe Force Awakensbut it would just be foolish to have the Dark Side of the character remain . Plus , imagine how he ’d look ? In that big , clunky suit and heavy mask ? decidedly one that Disney should swerve .
Don’t Want: Qui-Gon Jinn
The prequel trilogy has been criticized andThe Phantom Menacestill remains a stain onStar Wars ’ copybooks in the eye of many diehard sports fan . But Liam Neeson ’s character of Qui - Gon Jinn was popular at the time and expanded material has made it known that he himself succeeded in becoming a Force wraith and learning how to populate on after dying .

But , like Windu , Jinn is a character who has no place in the story of Rey , Kylo Ren , the Resistance , and the First Order . Neeson ’s Isle of Man should really have made a fugitive appearance inRevenge of the Sithin 2005 but that did n’t happen and it should n’t take place now either . His account has been told .
