Maybe this is old news, but I'm just recieved my trilogy on DVD, and the firs thing that I have check was the last part of the Return of the Jedi; and for my surprise there is Hayden appearing in th place that belongs to Sebastian Shaw, and I was very angry.
How many times Star Wars have to change to adapt the non sense stuff that Geoge Lucas is doing into the new films?
Return of the Jedi was directed by Richard Marquand who have died after the release, and Mr. Sebastian Shaw was a very talented actor since 1930. I found very bad that George Lucas trown to the trash the vision and wor of such talented people deleting Mr. Sebastian Shaw at the end of the celebration.
This is some kind of homage to these people who are erased by the merchandising ... and a moment of respectful silence.

Show some respect for the work of the people who aren't with us.
Well it wouldve been a surprise for Sebastian Shaw if hed bought a brand spanking new dvd player and the boxset,sat down with some earl grey and some gingernuts.. skipped to the end of rotj only to discover his eyebrows had disapeared as well as the rest of him for the jedi ghost scene...but seeing as hes dead maybe this wouldnt happen
unless he has come back from the other side
in which case i hope he haunts lucas
maybe he could send his eyebrows to do the dirty work
ala the khourtoons in ep2
where am i going with this..........
maybe he did come back as it says he was in CHIMERA in 1991
yet he died in 87
i saw Chimera and theres no way it took 3 years to complete the effects after pricipal photography was finished...they were crap.
how did u get the dvds a week early? i would have liked to know that before this week because if i order them now online i wont get them til like the 21 prolly

There can only be CHAOS!
If he really has the DVDs right now, then good for him! More power to the guy, I'll be getting mine in five days. I believe the whole point of this thread isn't that he has the dvds, it's his surprise with the changes.
darthmikael, the changes you speak of were leaked pretty early on after the release, a whole bundle of changes came. Even a screenshot of Hayden replacing Sebastian Shaw surfaced, and nobody thought it was real, until someone posted the actual video, then it was either true, or somebody really had no life. But here it is, all the changes that Lucas wanted to do to the films, who knows what others he may do in the future.
However, his reasoning behind it made sense, in a way. I don't think I can explain it as well as some other forum members could, but basically, either Anakin dies in Episode III, and Sidious brings him back to life somehow [more machine than man], or his conversion to the dark side destroys the real Anakin Skywalker inside, which it most certainly seems it does for the most part. At the end of ROTJ, somehow Luke, Anakin's son, brings out the good in Vader, and he dies on the light side, and since he was "truly Anakin Skywalker" last in Episode III before his conversion, that's why Hayden appears at the end of ROTJ.
I'm not living here, so I'm only posting when I get on line, I have a social life not like some of you nerds.
But the poin is believe or not, Richard Marquand HAVE DIED IN 1987 because a HEART ATTACK, and Mr. Sebastian Shaw in 1994 three years before his last film. And how mostly know, you don't make a picture after another, so Mr. Sebastian Shaw have some years before he died. Obiously most of you don't have any logic, even the knowledge for do a little search over the net and find more about this people who have worked in the saga that we most love. That's why I decided to post my homage, thinking that all of you fans were more than compulsive buyers or some sort of animals trying to get "strenght" from rumours.
But I see that this homage was vain.
How do I get my DVD's?, easy, I am someone that someone at lucasfilm found interesting as filmmaker and I get some kind of gift. Just for my work, nothing more.
If you don't believe what I have post , it's OK, good for you...
maybe you don't believe this:
at the end of ROTJ in the galactic celebration appears Naboo
in the ESB when vader talks with the emperor...guess what?...they have changed the actor who portrayed the emperor BACK THEN, with the Ian McDiarmid that we know as Darth Sidious...among some other little details that in the future you will know...think what you think of me...
I hope that someone SMART (with brain I mean) supports my little homage.
P.D. Maybe when I arrive at home, I'll do some screen captures for your galleries.
Yeh the amount of directing Marquand did on Jedi is suspect. That's why David Lynch turned down directing Jedi, because he didnt want to work under Lucas.
