It’s time for me to come clean with you guys…I’ve never seen the unaltered OT.
And yet you still argue that Hayden in ROTJ makes more sense than Shaw.
LOL
It’s not like I’ve never seen the footage. I don’t think I need to see it within the context of the whole movie to take a stance on it. To me, Shaw as Anakin is a plot hole.
Old good guys die, ghosts are old men. Old bad guy dies, ghost is young man. It makes more sense that he looks like someone you (and Luke!) saw 5 minutes before than someone you haven’t seen in 6 hours (during a marathon) and Luke has never seen in his life.
If he’s the same guy from 5 minutes ago, why does isn’t he bald and gray?
For the same reason Obi-Wan isn’t still cut in half and Yoda isn’t still sick.
