Aaaaannd another thing…

Question - When it comes to Force Ghosts interacting with the world around them, would it possibly make things better if there were some other sound effect to replace the dramatic boom when Luke catches the saber at the bonfire? The Force Vacuum effect so prevalent throughout the new trilogy? It wouldn’t stop him affecting a physical object, but it might diminish the sense of his own…um…solidness. It shouldn’t sound like metal smacking a hand right in front of a microphone.

Also, if one desired to further diminish or remove the idea that Force Ghosts can now change things in the real world, how about cutting Luke’s wordless raising of his X-Wing. I would sooner try and see if there’s a way to re-purpose the shot of the X-Wing underwater from TLJ and suggest that Rey gets the idea herself. It’s already WELL established, for good or for ill, that raising the X-Wing wouldn’t begin to tap her power reserves. As much as I love having Luke on screen as often as possible, just running with the given nature of Rey’s powers is still preferable to the torturing of Force Ghost powers in the service of a member-berries scene.
