and an official Hasbro video talking about how “iconic” this set is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlD1YyZ_rLE (3 minutes)
I’m no collector, but I think this is the first time Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker’s force ghost has been used for a Return Of The Jedi figure?
But why are they selling this as something clearly labelled as part of the 40th anniversary of Return Of The Jedi?
Hayden being inserted into the ROTJ film was for the 2004 Special Edition DVD release. So why try and pass this off as a 40th anniversary product?
Why no Sebastian Shaw figure, who actually played Anakin Skywalker in the film from this scene, 40 years ago?
Or why not have both figures, to have as an option, or for completions sake?
Instead, it is more lazy and inaccurate Special Edition revisionism.
