[Star Wars] Do Force Ghosts truly retain their free will? If so does that open up the possibility of one turning to the Dark Side?

Becoming a Force ghost is something you **cannot** do if you are dark sided. It is straight up impossible. To become a Force ghost one must acknowledge and yet reject the dark side within oneself.

Legends speak of dark side ghosts, but these are often just illusions or echoes of the past, or even more akin to what we would call liches - spirits bound to an object or location with little to no ability to affect anything outside of what they are bound to.
