Tell that to the majority on this forum who for some reason insist on using Shaw.

Yeah it’s weird. Using Shaw or even weirder, a hybrid Christensen-Shaw is masturbatory fanboy fantasy that the average fan would be completely lost watching. As mediocre as the prequel trilogy was, if you want to include an Anakin force ghost it’s got to be Hayden. I want my edit to be for mainstream audiences, not people who took a Star Wars class in college (which I actually did).

Huh? Anyone over thirty probably remembers Shaw as Force Ghost Anakin, and there’s also the fact that Shaw is still Anakin in ROTJ’s unmasking scene so no fan of the series should have a hard time figuring it out anyway.

I’m not a fan of any Force Ghost appearing to someone that they didn’t know in life, but to suggest that an image of Anakin as he looked at his death (as all Force Ghosts appear) is a ‘masturbatory fanboy fantasy’ is a bit much.
