Here’s a poser for you all, do any BTS photos of Sebastian Shaw as Anakin exist? There are plenty in the Vader costume and makeup, but I’ve never seen one in the Jedi robes. Were Shaw, Sir Alec, and Yoda shot together or separately?

Edit, found this in Wookiepedia:

George Lucas personally directed Shaw for his appearance in the final scene of the movie, in which he is a Force ghost of Anakin Skywalker dressed in brown and white robes, his prior burns and injuries completely healed. The footage was shot against a blue screen and the characters of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, with whom Anakin exchanges glances and smiles, were added later. Shaw did not know the purpose of the footage and believed it to be publicity, not for the film. When directing the scene, Lucas simply advised the actor, “Look happy, smile.”

Here are some BTS pics I found of the unmasking, couldn’t find any for the ghost scene:
