Force Ghosts appear to
those that they have a strong attachment to and have a strong
attachment to them.
That's it. Continue

Maybe I should begin by
explaining my fan credentials of Star Wars. There's not much there.
As of this writing I've seen all but Rouge One. I've had the Blu-Ray
since it came out but instead opted to watch When They Cry for the
second time in a year. (Pretty amazing plot holes in that series.)
I've only watched two seasons of Clone Wars. Excessively boring and
an excessive amount of violence. I've opted out of ever watching
Rebels. (So much yuri anime out there and it won't watch itself for
the third of fifth time.)
To sum up I'm more of a
casual fan. The movies are all that I need. Plus some YouTube videos.
There's quite a few good ones. But the ones that got me going on this
essay are about Force Ghosts. They'll spend from five to
fifteen/twenty minutes telling us all about non-cannon Star Wars lore
to explain this phenomenon.
In all those hours of
videos there are two questions never asked and therefore never
answered. Who are the people that become Force Ghosts and who do they
appear to? To the best of my knowledge only four people have ever
become Force Ghosts: Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Anakin.
There's a commonality to their appearances. Qui-Gon appeared to
Obi-Wan. Then Obi-wan, Yoda, and Anakin appeared to Luke. (Maybe
Leia, not too sure. Probably not.) Force Ghosts appear to those that
they have a strong attachment to and have a strong attachment to
them.
Only took me one title
line of eight words to get to my point. Then three paragraphs of
about 239 words and an hour's worth of research and typing to not
explain my point.
