Mark Hamill is coming back, which means we're going to see Force Ghost Luke - but just how will he be involved in the movie?

Force Ghosts usually appear to provide guidance to those they've trained, but Luke's in the position of having two former pupils in this movie on two very opposing sides.

Their relationship is even more difficult, and we could even see something like the ghost of Luke actually haunting Kylo throughout the film.
