    I kind of decided she could see them, judging by the look she gives Luke and the way he smiles back at her.

    I believe Leia could not see them either due to lack of Jedi training or because Anakin, Yoda, and Obi-Wan were aware that she had not yet reconciled with Anakin. The latter alternative is most likely in my estimation.

    This is thought-provoking.

    From they way I interpreted the scene I think she could see them-she just pulled Luke back to the celebrations.

    But how can she see them if she's not looking at them? Luke couldn't even see Obi-wan until he had been trained enough.

    If I was Leia and I suddenly found myself seeing ghosts, including the ghost of my father who I'd never truly met before, I don't think I would just totally ignore them and then walk back to my teddy bear picnic without even a glance. She clearly couldn't see them. The intent of that moment is that Leia is pulling Luke away from the ghosts of his fathers and back towards the world of the living where he yet has his own life to live. Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda will continue to watch over Luke from the afterlife, but Luke is his own man now and no longer needs them.

    To me she had no real solid attachment to any of them.

    She didn't meet Kenobi,

    She didn't meet Yoda

    the only one was Vader/Anakin, but she either had no desire or you really had to have an attachment or want to see them.
