Wouldn’t it be easier to have a character in the sequel die when they were supposed to, rather than alter the date given in the original movie though? 😉I don’t know, I’ve never seen the sequel. But a Google search tells me they wanted the character to die on New Year’s Eve specifically as part of the narrative, so the date had to be changed. Whatever.
Just like the OOT had to be changed to conform to three movies made two decades later. Whatever. 😉
A date being slightly changed in an on-screen text epilogue in a film that I don’t really care about is pretty different to me from throwing Hayden Christensen into one of the defining films of my childhood. I literally could not possibly care less about the former and don’t think it’s the same thing at all.
