    I don't think it will happen, but it might. If it's done right I think it could actually be pretty cool. Hayden could do a stoic, distant force ghost pretty well I think.

    I agree.
    And i hope that we will see Anakin as force ghost in ST at some point. And not only Anakin force ghost.
    Also some young Anakin flashback scenes ( something about his lightsaber ) maybe.

    Force ghost I can still accept as something that will tie sequels to the OT and PT. However, there has been talk about resurrecting Vader, and that just feels outright...wrong.

    I think those rumors have surfaced because apparently (this could be wrong) Kylo Renn actually calls himself Darth Vader, not because he's a clone of Vader but a descendant. So in a way it is a resurrection of Darth Vader, but not literally.

    There also can be flashback scenes.
    Anakin lightsaber and crystal in it is important according to rumors. So maybe flashback scene in which we learn why. Maz Kanata vision.

    But this is off topic. :)

    Luke outfit anyone.:D

    I really hate the idea of flashbacks in this movie because they don't fit with the style of the original six. They often feel like cheap storytelling and an easy answer to solve tough questions. HOWEVER, the only way I will be OK with this is if it's an "in universe" flashback such as using the force to view into the past and not some cheap sequence that feels disjointed and takes you out of the here and now.

    I could see him in a black dress, with a poncho, looking gritty.
    Blaster and Lightsaber dual weilding.
    A real bad ass Jedi.

    Isn't that the way they will do the flashback sequence in Maz's castle? (I think the same way as JJ did in ST and with Old Spock showing Kirk his past?)

    On topic - I believe Luke's robes will present the latest piece from the Galactic Runway Show. Leia attends the show every year in order to acquire to her estranged, crazied brother the most hip Jedi-robes money can buy.

    I remember about the time that the movie "Polar Express" came out there was lots of talk about using digital animation and the likenesses of deceased actors. Lucas was one person if I remember correctly was purchasing the rights to many famous actors.

    I would love to know if he owns Alec Guiness' likeness.

    Honestly though I would imagine Yoda will be the go to Force Ghost. Hayden Cristensen has done some good acting, "My Life as a House" was a great performance. And the problem with his performance in the prequels is dialogue and frankly most people had a different Vader origin story. That said Hayden has fan baggage that is not worth trying to over come and even if he delivers a solid performance he does not have the look of a wise messenger from the nether world.

    Maybe Luke is living/hiding in Old Ben's hut on Tatooine and is wearing his old mentors ragged/pissed clothes.

    That, if something, is a disgusting thought. I already see it in front of my eyes: Luke, a Junkie from Tatooine.

    Prequel fans (a.k.a. The Sith) will not believe that until Luke throws his ashes into a Sarlacc Pit.

    Anakin and Boba are dead, folks.... Now please lets move on.

    "Star Wars Creator George Lucas Says Boba Fett Survived The Sarlacc Pit"

    Damnit George.

    I can see it too.
    Luke living in a run-down hut, doesn't wash himself anymore, no hair cut eiher, wearing his old mentors ragged and pissed clothes.
    Why he has to be stayed a hero after RotJ?
    Maybe he said I'am done, bye folks.
    He knows a hideout where can be lazy all day long from now on.

    I think you may be closer to the reality of the situation than you think. I get the feeling Luke has a new arc in the sequel trilogy: reclaiming his hero status. When we first see him in TFA is just a shade of what he was in ROTJ, almost the complete opposite: run down, shabby, huge bags under his eyes, alone, tired, and fed up with everything. Until something happens. Something that lights a fire in him again. Something that is impossible to ignore. Something life-changing.
