I think I have to agree that showing an amalgamation would only be confusing if we have never seen him that way.

I think if you were to age Hayden up, I would only age him up to his current age in real life. As if they had filmed new footage with 2019 Hayden Christensen.

Otherwise, I would just straight up use Shaw. But, when we actually hear the Force ghosts, we hear a young Hayden, not an old Shaw. (Then again, we do hear both a young and old Obi-Wan.)

Alternatively, if you tried to depict a Hayden-Shaw amalgamation, or a very old Hayden, I think it would work better to change Shaw’s appearance in ROTJ to establish that look and for it to be not be confusing.
