Someone finally solved Revenge of the Sith's 'Force ghost' mini-mystery
Briefly

In a surprising revelation, the identity of a mysterious figure, often referred to as a 'Force ghost,' seen in a brief moment behind Anakin Skywalker in "Revenge of the Sith," has been traced back to a stunt rigger on set. Todd Vaziri, a veteran from Industrial Light and Magic, embarked on a quest to find the original footage years after it was lost. His discovery excited the Star Wars community, highlighting the intricate details that sometimes go unnoticed in popular films, and showcases the dedication of fans and professionals alike.
I couldn't believe it. There, on-set, was a man - likely a stunt rigger - wearing not a robe, but a peculiar shirt that resembled one, standing behind Hayden, manually puppeteering the greenscreen lava skiff that he and Ewan were fighting on.
