Proposal
Currently, when a Jedi enters a Force Ghost state, only other Jedi can see and communicate with them. I propose expanding this mechanic so that Force-Sensitive players with at least one full branch mastered can also see and speak with Force Ghost players.

This would mean:

A Force-Sensitive (FS) player who has completed one full branch can visually see Jedi in ghost form.

They can communicate with them using (public chat) just like a Jedi can.

Other non-Force-Sensitive players would still be unable to see or hear the ghost.


This doesn’t change combat or progression it simply adds a small immersion boost for Force-aligned characters.
Justification
Lore-wise, individuals who are strong in the Force can sense and sometimes even communicate with Force spirits. This is consistent with Star Wars canon — characters like Leia and Maz Kanata (with limited Force sensitivity) have sensed or heard Jedi spirits before.

Gameplay-wise, this feature adds depth and community connection between Jedi and Force-Sensitive players. It allows FS players to experience part of the mystical side of the Force without trivializing the exclusivity of being a Jedi.

It also gives Jedi ghosts more meaningful social interactions while they’re in that form
Motivation
This change promotes immersion, inclusivity, and lore accuracy for Force users.
Right now, Jedi ghosts are cut off from nearly everyone, which can feel isolating for players who enjoy roleplay or want to interact with Force-related characters.

By allowing Force-Sensitive players with at least one full branch to see and communicate with Jedi ghosts, we bridge the gap between FS and Jedi communities while keeping the system balanced and lore-friendly.

It’s a small tweak that could add a lot of life, mystery, and depth to the galaxy.
Give Force-Sensitive players the ability to see and speak with Jedi spirits, reflecting their growing connection to the Force

I really like this! It could allow Force Ghosts to mentor fledgling Jedi. As is I love it, it may over complicate the implementation but if there was a way to track interaction between a Jedi Ghost and a FS, allow them to see only the FS to see only that Jedi Ghost, giving a payoff for a Jedi Ghost and FS Mentor role. Like I said I'm not sure how to implement that and how much that would muck up the ease of this implementation so take it as a grain of salt possible addition because I love the idea as is
 
Thanks! I really appreciate that — and I love your idea about using this to strengthen the mentor connection between Jedi Ghosts and Force-Sensitive players.

I agree that tracking specific ghost-to-FS interactions could be cool if it ever becomes feasible (like a deeper mentor bond or guidance system). But for now, I’d prefer it stay open so ghosts can interact with any Force-Sensitive who’s progressed far enough. That way, it keeps things more social and doesn’t isolate interactions to just one pairing.
 
Oh 100%, for clarity I am saying keeping it exactly how you purposed but if there was a way to track how much a specific pair interacted that duo would receive a in game pay off of the early reveal and deepens the Mentor bond between those two. But again purely sprinkles on a beautiful idea imo
