“… 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. His face and the ‘Force ghost’ matched up frame-for-frame.”
The 2024 Reddit thread also found the stunt rigger via some behind-the-scenes footage, but Vaziri found the exact frame that made it into the movie (which you can find on his website!). The exact identity of this stunt rigger is still unknown, but it’s pretty miraculous that this 20 year-old mystery has been solved to the exact frame.

They need to give the guy a canonical back story now.
Maybe some gray Jedi who decided to troll the emokid for the rest of his life.
