Ok this has probably been discussed before so linki me to it if it has.
What did you guys think of putting Hayden Christensen as the ghost of Ani at end of ROTJ? I thought it looked really bad having Alec Guiness who is so much older beside him - it was way better with the old actor [his name has slipped my mind]. And he looked silly.
Your views?
However I did like the different music they used after the death star blew up and everyone was celebrating - the old music was a bit cheesy and stupid. What do you think?
I loved the inclusion of Hayden and I'd have gone a step further and re-shot the unmasking scene and have had an aged Hayden under the mask. Though the special edition "End theme" sucked ass. You can't beat the original as our heroes are sitting for the final scene and the music is going "ba bara baraa ba ba! Ba bara bara a a aaaaaa!!!'

i prefered it how it originaly. especialy with the old ewok music. I also hated when lucas added in all those fireworks going off everywhere through out the galaxy. Come on now. How realisitic is that? Most of the people living in the Empire though the Emperor was a good guy. None of them knew he was The Dark Lord of the Sith.
The 'area' went from Endor to Bespin. So that's off, and there was the whole thing with the storm troopers killing the Rebel sympathizers on Coruscant. And the SE was better, IMO.

The ewok music is great but not in the context of the movie... I prefer the SE celebration music. Christensen needs to get the **** out of the movie though. Watching the '04 DVDs my heart gets all warm at the end when Vader saves Luke, the Emperor is dead, and the galaxy is set free... and then prissy-boy Anakin shows up and kills the whole thing.
The new music pisses me off. I don't mind Hayden as much though.

Incredible. Most of the time, most fans in this forum just talk about how much the SE sucks. Now the OT is finally being re-released, and you guys start talking about how the SE isn't so bad. Weird.
Anyway, I don't really mind Hayden in the last scene, except for one thing. They should have had him look to his left as though he were looking at Obi-Wan and Yoda. Cause they're both looking at each other and Anakin as well as at Luke. Hayden just keeps staring straight forward. That kinda bugs me. Otherwise, I don't have much of a problem with it.
Never replace Sabastian Shaw with Hayden Christiansen in the Vader unmaking scene in Return of the Jedi. Shaw should be remembered always. Remember the Star Wars saga is Lucas's creation no the fans' creation.
