Star Wars: The Last Jedi Almost Included Sith Ghosts

Star Wars: The Last Jedi has arrived in theaters and is the second highest grossing film of all time. With that being said, news about things that almost happened in the film are starting to be revealed. There is a reddit thread that is concentrating on a  particular piece of concept art from The Last Jedi artwork book. The artwork depicts Luke in his hut on Ahch-To, being haunted by a dark apparition: a Sith ghost.

The piece also contained a caption that stated,

“We’ve seen dead Jedi come back as blue ghosts. Maybe Sith can come back. And maybe there’s some all powerful Sith that’s controlling whatever the dark side is. We did talk a lot about how the final battle frontier for Jedi might be in the spirit realm. So you have to have a bad-guy ghost.”

While I personally loved The Last Jedi and consider it one of the finest entries in the franchise, the idea of Sith ghosts would have been an interesting concept for the film to add.
