George Lucas Reveals Why ONLY Luke Saw Anakin's Force Ghost
In the return of the jedi, we got my favourite scene in all of Star Wars, the celebration after the death start 2 blew up, with Luke hanging his arm on the tree as he gazes off into the distance to acknowledge his father Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda. Many, and I mean many, have theorized that Leia saw them too, and that even Han saw them, as we can see him staring in the background when Luke faces the ghosts. The real answer, is that no one but Luke saw them. I’ll read the quote from George in a bit which actually goes into more detail about others things too, which is great. So to Leia, Han and everyone else there, Luke was just staring into the forest, probably relaxing that the Empire had now been destroyed, or at least, started to fall apart entirely with the death of palpatine and Darth Vader.
