Yoda and Obi-Wan both force ghost themselves into the Throne Room to talk **** to the Emperor and Vader:

A new voice is heard on the far side of the steaming lake.
BEN
It is you who overestimates your abilities.
Vader and the Emperor turn to see the shimmering image of
Obi-Wan Kenobi standing before them. The Emperor laughs.
EMPEROR
At last you appear before me, Obi-Wan.
BEN
The boy has many allies. He is stronger than you imagine.
EMPEROR
Allies? If they are all as you, I have no concern, for
the nether-world has no control over me. And if you
return to this dimension I will easily defeat you.
BEN
There is no entrance to the netherworld through the
dark side. You know very little of its powers.
EMPEROR
I know it is not strong enough to save this boy.
BEN
Perhaps the boy will be sacrificed, but you will be
destroyed as well.
VADER
My son will not be destroyed, he will turn to the
dark side.
The Emperor and Vader are startled as another voice is
heard.
YODA
Stronger than you is the boy. Turn he will not.
EMPEROR
Yoda!
The Emperor stands and backs away.
EMPEROR
No, it cannot be.
YODA
I survived, as did many others.
Goddamn. This better be in the next super-duper special edition.

This would have been cool. The "as did many others" line proves why Norman Lloyd should have been in the new trilogy as a friend of Obi-Wans'.

Pretty sure he was always meant to return in some form. A ghost at the very least.

I read somewhere that Luke will be back in some form for Episode IX. Probably because of the bad fan reaction.
Disney is CIA for kidz!

Early versions also had Ben come back in physical form. Maybe they can re-use that idea for Luke in
Episode IX

The Last Jedi was a partial birth Abortion.
The only poster who had his account banned 4 times without ever breaking any rules each of those times.
