The Special Editions simply don’t work without the prequels. We’re never told who Hayden is in any version of the OT, so if someone who hasn’t seen the prequels watches the 2004 or 2011 version of ROTJ, they would be utterly confused when Hayden shows up.
One would assume that Hayden was the ghost of Anakin because he’s right next to the ghosts of Obi-Wan & Yoda. But yeah, twelve years later that decision to use the PT Anakin is still nonsensical, and honestly it’s an act of active contempt by Lucas to fans of his work. Disney better not add more nonsensical bullshit to ROTJ like George did.
