Transferring midi-chlorians results in them replicating in the new host. Just like how Qui-Gonn didn't end up haunting Anakin or whatever.

Which just reinforces what I mean - how the hell Anakin became a ghost to begin with?
Who Am I?
The Dark Side works in mysterious ways.
"We learn from history that we do not learn from history."
Padme's reaction seems to foreshadow that she will have known that Anakin is alive in some way...or perhaps she recognised his voice.

Indeed. Possibly a flawed, dark-side version of Force Transcend.
Hm... I wonder if Vader's next line will be
"Don't talk to your father that way!" as she hurls the lightsaber. Then she'll mutter about an ungrateful son while Palpy waxes poetic.

This is not at all how I envisioned this scene going.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Welll. That's a surprising twist.
Vader is just full of them in the comic, its awesome.
I am cautious. I feel like it's going to be a letdown if the confrontation suddenly starts focusing on Anakin's ghost instead of Luke vs Vader. I mean, what's the point of Padme Vader if she won't even have her own final battle? Sure, they still need to justify the ghost, but so far... meh. Really hoping he won't hog the spotlight.

Prediction: Force Lighting comes from Anakin attempting to possess Palpatine while Padme has the internal struggle of deciding to kill her husband.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
No takers on that one.
What I'd like to see is how they justify Luke's berserker rage on Vader then standing down immediately afterwards.
Ketchum's corollary to Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced tactic is indistinguishable from blind luck.

Anakin's Ghost possessing him for a moment, perhaps?
Okay, I think I got this figured out.
Take a look at this. This is where Obi-Wan first talks about Force Transcend. Note how he says "he never understood its basic function", referring to Vader, who at the time was believed to be Anakin.
Meaning, "Anakin never understood its basic function".
"Never". Not just "didn't understand". "Never understood". As in, more than once.
Meaning x 2, I believe this is a clue that Anakin was aware of Force Transcend... somewhere off-screen.
The Moon Ghost thing makes sense now as well. Anakin used Force Transcend just before his death and transferring of midi-chlorians, haunting Palpatine and unfortunate souls nearby as "the Moon Ghost".
It's also possible that it's the "Anakin the Moon Ghost" that Obi-Wan felt in this strip right here, instead of Padme-Vader.

Oh damn. That Moon Ghost strip is a hell of a catch. That seems extremely plausible.

... played from the perspective of the dinosaurs. Which is quite a tweest.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
And with the dinos as robots?
That would have made a really cool movie, actually.

And now for today's completely non-sequitur exposition dump...
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Actually, I'm not entirely sure how Anakin ended up a ghost in this version.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're supposed to use Force Transcend first, like Obi-Wan did. Then you are a cloud of midi-chlorians which needs to be willfully maintained. But:
