Possible/rumoured changes to Original Trilogy on DVD (Merge of several threads)

They posted this on aintitcoolnews.com today. It shows Hayden Christensen inserted in the last scene of the new Return of the Jedi DVD. It looks pretty legit to me, I've never seen a that pic of anakin or one with him wearing those robes. Personally I liked the original/older Anakin better. Arent force ghosts suppose to reappear same age as they died, not 25 years younger? Has George Lucas seriously lost his mind? bleh I mean you don't see a young obi-wan or EP1 Yoda. grrrr 😠 . Well discuss

yeah... they'll show a young hayden as ghost, after all, they replaced OB1 with Ewan McGreggor too 🙄

already posted this including of wich changes there might be in the DVDS

Well technically you appear as a ghost at the age u died, but remember Anakin Sky walker was Killed by Darth Vader years ago 😉

😂
from your point of view 😂

Is that for real? I don't know if I like it, or if that spoils it.. I'm split 😬

It looks legit, but imho, it's utter crap. Why would they bother changing it? Has anakin not aged?

I think it will be emotional to see Anakin as he was before all the Sith stuff took over. Since Kenobi and Yoda never succumbed to it they would appear at the age of their deaths... since they did disappear. Anakin died when he became Vader so he would appear as a young Hayden Christensen... although I think the pic is a fake.

Isn't the whole point that he returns to the "light" side by the time his death occurs? In that case, shouldn't he be the old man as a ghost?

the pic is fake no worries every1 😄

Yeah, It's old anakins body and robes with Hayden's head added.

As ever, people would do well to adopt a sceptical approach by default.

There's been plenty of talk this week about just what will be on those Special Edition DVDs this September from Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox. Will they be the re-released versions of the original films or have there been even more changes?
Our sources tell us that there have been lots of changes to A New Hope, including some tinkering with the Han/Greedo scene. This is also the film with the most significant changes. The Emperor has been replaced with prequel actor Ian McDiarmid in ESB and Hayden Christensen does indeed appear in the final cut of Return of the Jedi. The explanation of his young appearance as a spirit is revealed in Episode III, as (spoiler) the years in the Dark Side don't age the Jedi's spirit form.

We caution you that these are rumors and even this report should be met with some skepticism and prayer that they'll just quit messing with these movies. According to these people though, THESE are the rumored Archival Editions fans were expecting in the future.

I suppose it would make sense to have young anakin. It's his story after all and his redemption would be complete if he came back as a young guy instead of an old duffer.

I think it could work...but I really don't want them making changes to the OT, the SE's were ok, except for ANH with Greedo and Jabba...but no more changes.

so they'll have to re-do the whole vader's death scene?

😆 it'll be funny seein young Hayden dying, talkin to a not so young Hamill

Um, no, it's only the ghost that's Hayden Anakin. And it could be a load of BS.

September will come around quick enough. Lay of the internet loopy flakes for a while poeple.

I'm not sure I get the aging part and the young ghost, because Vader's whole redemption thing is that he dies in the light side, and as such, should die as he was oringally.

I refuse to believe this and even if Lucas follows through with it, I'll continue to disagree with it.

UHMM dudes WAKE UP that pic of ep.3 ani as a GHOST is fake it was all a hoax.............
