Star Wars: The Last Jedi - 23 WTF Moments

13. A Force Ghost Controls The Weather

You can read up on the specific history of the physical interactions of Force Ghosts in what remains of the Star Wars canon, but you'll find no mention at all of them being able to control the weather.

But that's precisely what the brilliantly returning Master Yoda does when Luke Skywalker is being all hysterical about his need to destroy the supposedly sacred Jedi texts - conjuring a storm to strike the sacred tree on Ahcho-To with lightning.

It's truly great to see Yoda return - and to see him in more traditional puppet form no less - but if we're just going to start giving everyone powers willy-nilly there's no point in having rules in the first place. Maybe that's why he was so not-bothered about burning the rule books?
