Friend of the Gutter John Crye writes about Star Wars and force ghosts at Looper. “Alongside lightsabers, droids, and moon-like space stations with fatal design flaws, life after death is a signature feature of the Star Wars franchise. Long before Darth Maul was granted his improbable reprieve from certain doom solely on the merit of being too cool to kill, the Jedi were cheating death all the way back in 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope.”
