Discussion Can NFUs see Force Ghosts?

[Jonyna Si]

So, writing an episode of The Mandalorian for film school has been an interesting experiment of trying to adapt stuff originally made for Chaos into an actual canon story. One of the hurdles I came across was a topic that I stumbled onto in my research, which was inconclusive on the topic.

Can Non-Force Users see Force Ghosts?

We don't see Force Ghosts all that often in the series, the Original Trilogy uses them pretty exclusively in the context of Luke interacting with them, outside of Leia at the end of ROTJ, but I don't think we ever see Han or anyone else interact with them.

Pretty sure they can't. Hell, I think Han practically rides right through Obi-Wan's ghost in Episode V. As far as I know, there's no instance of an NFU interacting with a ghost. Certainly, not a jedi's ghost.

I'm gonna say they can, but only if the ghosts are interacting directly with them. i'd presonally treat it ike anything else force related.

NFUs aren't immune to effects in the force, so by that logic if a force ghost wanted to interact with them, they could.

Also, it is technically canon now that everyone has the potential to become an FU, so that would also mean that no one is really outside of the forces influence.

But that's just my two cents
