I like the idea that these generations of Jedi would have come together to help Luke to defeat the enemy that they could not.
The Jedi Masters who were Luke’s two great teachers would have returned to him from the Netherworld in his hour of greatest need to take part in this concluding contest. Whether they would only have a limited amount of time or could only withstand so much of Palpatine’s attack is unclear, but they would have given Luke time. Inserting the Force Ghosts of Yoda and Obi-Wan into that mix would have been quite interesting.īased on the rough draft of the script, Palpatine would have understood and acknowledged this power, referencing that the Force Ghosts from the Netherworld could only protect Luke for so long. This leads to the Emperor trying to kill Luke, and in his final act, Darth Vader becomes Anakin Skywalker once more, saving his son Luke by killing the Emperor. The way the battle plays out now, Luke lays down his weapon and refuses to fight his father, believing there is still good in him.
When the Emperor used his Force Lightning to attack Luke, it would have been deflected by an invisible shield, which would actually be the Force Ghosts of Yoda and Obi-Wan. According to Lucasfilm creative art manager Phil Szostak, in George Lucas’ rough draft for Return of the Jedi, Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi would have acted as Luke Skywalker’s protectors in his final battle with the Emperor in his throne room.
