How was Anakin a Force Ghost at the end of "Return of the Jedi"?

My guess is that you don’t have to be good to be a force ghost?

I thought that too, but he was literally right next to Yoda and Obi-Wan. Unless they forgave him maybe? He did basically sacrifice himself.

@MakeItSo1701 On a side note, who was the actor who played Anakin’s force ghost in , “Return of the Jedi”?

Sabastian Shaw or Hayden Christensen? Google lists both, I don’t know which version I watched I guess

@MakeItSo1701 Thanks. I was referring to the original movie.

Think of being a force ghost as a trick Jedi can use to communicate between living and dead Jedis and Sithh. Obi Wan didn’t want the Sith to know of this power, so he told Luke he could not interfere when Luke faced Vader or the Emperor.

I understand that, yes. Was he converted to a Jedi then?
