Hi I have a question about the range band upgrades. When the Force power states " increase the maximum range at which the Force user can affect targets throughout this power by a number of range bands equal to the number of range upgrades purchased. The user may activate this multiple times increasing the range by this number each time." If you spend the Force points can you increase the range to planetary scale bands?

In general, no. The range of a Force power caps out at Extreme Range.

The only exception to this (so far) is Battle Meditation, which has a Control Upgrade that specifically shifts the power's range from character scale to planetary scale.

I know that Farseeing in Savage Spirits has an upgrade effect that can work at planetary scale, but I'm not familiar enough with that power to cite if range upgrades have any impact on that upgrade or not.

...What happened to the other version of this thread? You know, the one I already responded to?

Oh well, here goes again:

The RAW answer is no - personal-range powers stay personal range. However, my house-rule is that Planetary Close range is one range band further than Personal Extreme, and then each additional Planetary band is 5 personal bands further. That ends up meaning that each Planetary range band is 5 personal range bands long, which Brain appreciates and doesn't throw a fit about. So if you've got enough extra pips to spend, go nuts!

As for Farsight mentioned above, Farsight is actually a bit different: the Mastery ability doesn't extend the effects of the power to Planetary Close range, it lets you scry/remote view any location within Planetary Close range, and then you can activate range upgrades to Scry further and further away. But your vision is limited by normal visual acuity from your remotely-viewed location unless you spend extra pips to activate the base ability of Farsight as well.
