If we start seeing a bunch of force ghosts in the ST, then I won't even bother cause that tells me they have run out of ideas and this won't be anymore original then the PT was. 

The force ghost was a cool concept that Lucas eventually ruined.  It was cool to see Kenobi as a force ghost in ESB to lead Luke to Dagobah and then comment on him leaving to fight Vader.  Then he appears and sits down in Jedi like a real life person???  Then you have Hayden as a young force ghost, but Kenobi and Yoda are old force ghosts in the new ending to Jedi???

This is another example of the more you delve into something mystical like this, the more it loses its luster.  The same with the force, as it was mystical in the OT, and when it was explained in the PT, it opens up all sorts of questions.

I have to say I was hopeful of the ST a few months ago, but I am starting to sour on it now, as I think it will be the same old same old.
