I love Palpy’s “oh sh*t” reaction when the four ghosts show up, it actually feels justified that he would stop blasting the fleet to confront Rey. It harkens back to Ben Kenobi’s line about becoming “more powerful than you could possibly imagine”, which we never really get to see in the OT.

It’s clear that the force ghosts have a higher power than what the Sith could ever hope to achieve through the dark side, and it’s so cool to finally see them step in to put a decisive end to the conflict. And even though we don’t see Qui-gon, he basically opened the path that lead to this decisive end, bringing everything full circle. It’s crazy that none of this is in the original movie and only through fanediting magic did we get a proper end to the Saga.
