So i was looking at some rebel/ new republic squad ideas the other day and i had like 16 points left, i felt like i had enough door control and acivations and things, and then i was like man a force spirit like the ones the sith got would be awesome with these remaining points. Basically i was wondering if anyone else thinks it would be cool to get more force spirits and have them play a bigger role in squad building like they have in the sith facion.

Tbh, I think the Force Spirits in R/NR are strong e3nough-they just don't outcompete other pieces for the spot in a squad. Not, admittedly, they don't grant Sith Rage or anything looky, but Force spirits probably would still be neglected even if they did. The Sith are just a weaker faction overall, with fewer options.

I think the problem is that in new republic you have either luke or yoda with the yoda costing to much(basically what you said.), and the fact that the other one is luke and IMHO the best thing to build around the new republic is luke now. so that leaves you with basically no options. Rebels I think the force spirits are just such lack luster options that they are typically passed on. I think it would be cool to make force spirits for pieces that wizards made that never see use such as Wolf Sazen that way maybe wolf could find his way onto some maps.

I think the Rebel FS are fine. Obi only has speed 2 but he only costs 8. If he can't keep up with your squad Anikan is only 12 points. I don't have Yoda FS but probably wouldn't use him much if ever due to his cost. Obi is starting to show up frequently with the new RC Leia too.
I get what you are saying about NR but how many ccompetitive characters would you really want to use that it would make much of a difference?
If you compare any of those options w/ Exar DFS they pale in comparison but so does Marka. Exar is very aggressively costed and also happens to fill a significant role due to the fact that Dark Aura synergizes so well with Sith Sorcery. That's not to mention how renewal is a bigger deal for some of his options. I would gladly pay 6 or more points on top of the 14 for him based upon what he does.
That being said I don't know if we need anything beyond what we already have.
And if you were going to make a new one for NR who would you make that was a ghost? I guess a Yoda remake.....

wolf sazen would be fine i think, but there are alot of cool things you could do, i love the new qui-gon force spirit. I guess i like the way force spirits have been used lately and just think it would be cool to add one to new republic. And it depends on what the force spirit is designed to do, i am not sure what i would want to be honest, but i think there are a lot of figures in new republic that could benefit from it. old kyle battlemaster could use one, saba, jacen solo.

Er - um. Well... there's one more option for a 3pt piece.
Yoda's Resting Spirit
Cost: 3
Unique, Emplacement
Spirit: (Just like Light Spirit but doesn't grant FR1 or Mettle... not a target, kill for a force point, save 11, yada yada...)
Force 1
CE: An ally within 3 squares may spend this character's Force Points. Can't combine or spend more than once.
One force point, activation, and obstacle for 3 points. Probably not that useful, but in the right spot where you have a few points left - maybe.

I intended to cover that but looking at my post I wasn't clear.

yeah i thought as much I just love what the designers have been able to do with force spirits, and would like to see them in more factions.
