I've been curious for some time if Morgan Katarn is a Jedi, or atleast has any bit of Force potential?

He WAS a playable jedi character in JK:A, but I don't know really.

Do ghosts exist in Star Wars apart from Jedi Ghosts?

yes, there are sith ghosts too.

Yes I think he was a jedi. I saw a movie from the old Jedi Knight game where Morgan fought and killed about 4 dark jedi coming at him, then get destroyed by Jerec.

That wasn't Morgan, nor did that guy kill any Jedi.

Ok, it was a long time since I saw it so I guess I was remembering it wrong, but who killed Morgan then, I thought it was Jerec. But still, Morgan was a ghost, only jedi and sith can become that right?

Jerec did kill Morgan, but they guy you're thinking of was... Rahn, I believe? Anyway, he fought against seven Dark Jedi, cutting one of them in half, and then getting killed by Jerec.

Now, I would normally assume Morgan wasn't a Jedi, however... He did appear as a Force Ghost, and was an underground supporter of the rebellion. He also knew a lot about the Valley of the Jedi, where the Battle of Ruusan took place, and entrusted Kyle with "a lightsaber that once belonged to a friend and great Jedi - Rahn." The one who fought off the other Jedi. I suppose it's possible they had sort of a Master-Apprentice bond going on, as well.

I should have said 'apart from Force Ghosts'. Like, if someone is a ghost, does that imply they were a Jedi or Sith, or can normal ghosts sometimes appear?

Not to our knowledge.

I am assuming that Qu Rahn discovered how to do the Ghost trick as well, and passed on this knowledge to Morgan Katarn, who was no Jedi but was apparently Force sensitive.

Qu Rahn was the Jedi who tried to fight the Dark Jedi under Jerec. He cut Maw in half; Maw murdered Morgan at Jerec's order.

Morgan's status just makes no sense. I mean, he seemed to have a Lightsabre...

... but the whole thing was just daft plot convenience to allow Kyle to have Jedi powers all of a sudden.

Mind you, fair play to the Jedi Knight FMV scenes; they might not have won any acting awards, but the style in which they were shot were very Star Wars in nature, so kudos for stylistic accuracy.

Ushgarak: Morgan's lightsaber that he gave to Kyle was Qu Rahn's.

And yes, I think it's easiest to say that Morgan was Force Sensitive and learned the Force Ghost trick.

Or something to that regard. *shrug*

Then again, Morgan could be more than that. Seems to me like you would have to be a tad more powerful than 'possibly could be trained' level to do it. Look at Kenobi and Yoda.
