he should be able to use TK as well
unless you mean physically interact as in make themselves solid like Patrick Swayze's ghost?
Correct. Lucas and Filoni.
though it's good they brought back Maul it's still a yuge inconsistency if you think about it:
- healing's supposed to be a light side power right? healing, not exactly the sith's gig
- Qi Gong's a jedi & his injury was a lot less serious yet Maul survived & Qi didn't
go figure :/
I'm wary of this, because it was Pablo Hidalgo who said it (not Filoni). You'd be right to point out that Pablo absolutely is part of the Story Group, but he's notorious for not liking or wanting people to take his thoughts as immutable canon. He's even made a point over the last two years of trying not to talk about Star Wars in any official capacity on his Twitter account.

I'd say lightning storms are quite real as are their effects

awesome I didn't know that

- Qi Gong's a jedi & his injury was a lot less serious yet Maul survived & Qi didn't
go figure :/
then think about it this way: if sith can also become ghosts then they'd have to retcon the very basics of SW canon: how exactly is the light side more powerful than the dark side?
Jedi Ghosts interact and talk, Sith ghosts are more inclined to corrupt and control (yet, admittedly, that's more an EC POV)sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

still hoping for a major twist or something
bring back the Bendu

I'm not sure the Bendu would translate to live-action....but any Tom Baker is good Tom Baker."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

Big movies?
No, I seriously don't like him in that role.
It could be because he does not have time to do it in a movie.
I was unimpressed with Ep 7, I was Unimpressed with the new ST.
I won't say he wrecked my childhood, but his choices on the big screen just seem, well, crap. He has a vision, and that's cool, but it does not reflect the vision of the creator, it reflects HIS vision, and that's not so cool.
JJ should make his own universe, rather than screw with others.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

especially if he was the voice Sidious heard (cf. fan speculation since I haven't read the book in question)

4th season (where Peter was sort of erased from the timeline) was passable
5th season bleh
and speaking of Star Trek any reason why shields have disappeared since JJ's first movie? that idiot appears to have forgotten the concept we don't see a single federation ship use shields during a battle

That's my point dude.
it's just that with all this light vs dark stuff the series needs a true neutral/"unified force" character
first 3 seasons were real good
4th season (where Peter was sort of erased from the timeline) was passable
5th season bleh
