Force spirit
Excerpt · Known applications
The ability to become a Force spirit (or Force ghost) was a means of achieving immortality obtained by certain Force-users by learning to preserve their consciousness within the Cosmic Force after their deaths. The ability was extremely rare, and considered a mere myth by most. It was unique only to those who used the light side of the Force.

▵Known applications
The ability to become a Force spirit was conferred upon those strong in the light side of the Force who died selflessly or with love in their heart. Doing so, combined with a strong enough connection to the Force, allowed one to retain their consciousness after death. Their body would vanish, leaving their clothing behind, and transform into the Cosmic Force.
Afterwards, it was possible for such Force users to separate themselves from the Force and manifest in the physical realm. These manifestations varied. Some were able to project their disembodied voice by communicating with the midichlorians within another being's body. Others manifested as a collection of hovering lights, which could guide the living from place-to-place.
The most famous manifestation of this power, however, was the ability to appear almost corporal as a Force ghost. These ghosts appeared as the Force user did when they died, could speak, interact with their environment, and even use the Force in some circumstances. The process of manifesting in this form was distinctly unpleasant, as it separated the person's consciousness from the Force for a time.
