I’ve lived with ROTS for several years now, pulling it apart and putting it back together in a (hopefully) much more humorous way, and I still don’t see Hayden when I watch the OT. I just don’t think of the PT having anything to do with the OT. Hayden is not Vader, he’s a pale hollow imitation of Vader.
When I’m eating real crab, I’m not thinking of imitation crab meat because I ate it two months prior.
