I actually didn’t hate putting Haydn in Return of the Jedi.

Wait: hear me out! Believe me: I’m as shocked as anyone to say this, lol. But when Phantom Menace came out, they released a timeline of the Star Wars universe. Phantom Menace took place 32 years before Star Wars. And Lucas commented on how he changed Anakin to being 9 years old.

Well that means Anakin is 41 years old in Star Wars, and he’s probably-what?-44 or 45 in Return of the Jedi.

When they cast Anakin in Return of the Jedi they cast a contemporary of Alec Guiness. Sebastian Shaw was (if I remember right) in his early seventies when he played Anakin. That’s 30 years older than the character would actually be.

So I think that’s one change that wasn’t actually too bad.
