    I too very much disliked that they replaced Sebastian Shaw at the end of ROTJ....It made me pretty sad. :(

    CGI Alec Guinness and voice match (like Tarkin), Hayden, and CGI Yoda unless they can perfectly recreate the ROTJ puppet/FG. Or they could just scrap the FGs altogether. I want to see Qui-Gon in an Obi-Wan movie though.

    If they were going to do force ghosts in TLJ, the obvious choice is Yoda. He would be the easiest and make sense. The other one is Obi-Wan, but he comes with the problem that he'd have to be the Guinness version, done through CGI recreation. It can be done, and it may be worth it. As a ghost he MAY look more convincing than what they just did in Rogue One with Tarkin. But it can't be Ewan doing it, there would be no reason he would look that way to Luke.

    I think Snoke's #1 goal is to get Luke. Kylo Ren knows this but Hux seemingly does not. The opening crawl states "the First Order has risen from the ashes of the Empire and will not rest until Skywalker, the last Jedi, has been destroyed. Further, Snoke tells Kylo "If Skywalker returns, the new Jedi will rise."

    I think Snoke's #1 goal is to increase his power and take over the universe. I think he recognizes that Luke is a threat to this, hence he wants Luke killed. But Kylo wants something from Luke that he will not get if Luke is simply killed. This is much like the fact that Anakin wanted something from Palpatine (the power to save Padme) that he could not have gotten if Mace Windu simply killed Palps. Poetry! :D

    well there were rumours a little while back about Oz apparently doing some puppet work for Yoda. there were multiple other rumours circulating too, while there were somewhat confirmed sightings of him where they film/record it in London(?). so i honestly think Yoda is a strong possibility.
    personally, i would love all 3 to appear in some form. but having all 3 doesnt really enhance the story or even the frames that theyll appear in. itd be too much, each most likely playing the role of 'adviser' or 'old mentor with wisdom'. i think Anakin appearing would be the most powerful, however i too feel like it could open a can of worms that Disney/Story Group are unwilling to do (the fan divisions on the actor, the two actors appearing as Anakin, the somewhat murky canon/restrictions on Force Ghosts in regard to Anakins/Vaders redemption). i would love Hayden to do it, and if it did happen, im sure he'd pull out a better performance.
    my favourite character throughout the Saga has been Obi-Wan (McGregor, more so), so his voice making it into (same with Yoda) TFA could be an indication we'll see him again.

    For me Force Ghosts can appear whenever they like. i think that in-canon Force Ghosts have only been able to appear to the people they have actually met before (or 'connected with'). so Anakin appearing to Kylo wouldn't make much sense based on the restrictions apparently set. Qui-Gonn appeared to Yoda and Obi. Yoda appeared to Luke and Obi. Anakin appeared to Luke. Obi to Luke/Yoda, etc.

    itll be interesting to see where the Holocron stuff goes in Rebels, as that has always been for me a way for the Sith to live beyond death and convene with modern day Sith (or pull Jedi to the Sith, as we saw with Ezra in Rebels and Yoda in TCW). on that topic, it would be cool if they applied the dual Anakin 'spirit' being 'torn' in that way. half his spirit lives on as aForce Ghost (the good-side) and the other half is trapped in a Holocron he created as Vader - and that would be some cool stuff for Kylo to see/search for, as its already confirmed he was something of a history buff on his travels with Luke, as Ben.

    back to the point, i think Force Ghosts have a place, but they need to be handled carefully. theres 3 atm and i would like at least 1 to appear to Luke on Ach-To and i think thats going to be Yoda, even though Obi would be so great, personally.

    Pretty cool to imagine Obi-Wan discussing destiny with Rey, whilst Anakin has his own chit chat with Kylo...

    I voted for Anakin because he is very significant for the overall story. Furthermore I want to see some interactions between Kylo Ren and his grandfather.
    On the other hand I really want to see an Obi-Wan force ghost because I love Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan.

    Yoda's appearance as a force ghost is probably a given.

    Despite his obvious skill and maturity, it would be interesting to see Luke seeking guidance from Yoda on how to tackle the dangers he faces as a teacher rather than as the learner.

    There should be an option for Yoda, Obi Wan, and Anakin together. I went with Yoda, though, since I could only pick one.

    Obi Wan could be helpful to Rey, especially if we believe the Rey Kenobi theories (personally, I don't). Anakin could impart valuable wisdom about turning to the Dark Side, and, if Rey is a Skywalker, would be another connection to her. But Yoda is the sort of "universal conduit of Force wisdom," and I think Rey would benefit the most from his instruction.

    Are they relevant to the story or only for fan service ?

    Yoda will be here I think for other reasons than people think.

    I can see them actually doing something. I think that they didn't get involved with directly helping Luke defeat Vader/Emperor is because Luke needed to do it on his own as part of his trial to become a Jedi. I think we will see them somewhat more active. Or at least I would like to see that.
