Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!

I was just looking at screen shots of some of the changes. Some of them are not so bad, some of them are good. Most are subtle... exept this one... infuriating...

Thumbs down

"Anakin's Force ghost is now played by Hayden Christensen instead of Sebastian Shaw."

It just makes no sense at all...

I know, right?

[geek]Anakin died as a older jedi, not as a younger one.


... and maybe they fixed it so Greedo doesn't shoot first this time.[/geek]

Greedo still shoots first, but it is much closer...

Here is the weak *** reasoning:

"Finally (and this is a big one), when the Force ghosts of Ben, Yoda and Anakin appear to Luke at the very end of the film, actor Sebastian Shaw has been replaced with Hayden Christensen (as he'll appear in Episode III). That's going to **** off a lot of fans, but it makes sense. Lucas' rational (as he actually explains briefly in the audio commentary - a rare instance where he comments on a change) is that when Vader joins the Force, he's able to retain his original identity as he was when he died as Anakin Skywalker (in Episode III). Since Yoda and Ben retained their good identities until they were old, that's how their Force ghosts appear. Yeah, maybe it's a stretch... but within the logic of the universe, it does make sense. Like it or not. "

Not.

The end.
