Hayden's ghost being superimposed in RotJ is ridiculous, and cannot be logically justified from an in-universe POV. That is all I'm saying. 🙂

I'm defined by my rigid fandom, so don't poke holes in its logic. Because that pokes holes in my identity.

Completely ignoring that Shaw was too old to play Anakin in the first place, it's not that Anakin didn't age as Vader; it's that he would have no idea what an older him would look like, and that this is what he thinks Anakin Skywalker would look like.

i love how you worded that as if this dilemma existed when RotJ was written, so it was clearly unavoidable...as opposed to it being yet another unnecessary alteration of canon and content of a 30 year old film because GL changed his mind again.

but if you want to buy that line, that GL had had every last detail of the story mapped out in his head since 1976, that's your business.

Why are you pretending as if you understand the in-universe logic of how Force Ghosts should look?

Wait until there's an official explanation of how Anakin can even become a Force Ghost without training, before you give us your flawless logic of how he should or shouldn't appear.

But hey I'm sure there's no logical flaw at all to keeping Sebastian Shaw as an older Hayden Christenson LOL

Though it could be done well Not sure why Anakin's ghost would be Schizophrenic.

You mean Split personality? That's not quite the same thing as schizophrenia.

Don't think anyone would complain about Ewan playing Obi-Wan's ghost though. So that would certainly be the safer move in terms of using Prequel characters.

I would have a problem with Ewan playing Obi Wan's ghost. It's not that I don't like Ewan as Obi Wan. It's not even that I don't want anything connecting it to the Prequels. I don't want Ewan to come back, because Alec Guniess is the older version of Obi Wan. Obi Wan's force ghost came back as the older version in the OT. Why would Obi Wan's ghost all of a sudden change form to Ewan? It wouldn't make sense. They'd have to explain it at least.

My opinion is based on how the other two in-universe force ghosts looked.

Sorry for trying to be logical about this. 👆
