I actually had an idea for the exchange between Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi before their duel to be more consistent with the prequels. It would start with Ben saying “Anakin…” (almost like a last ditch effort to reach him), only for Vader to immediately respond with “Anakin Skywalker was weak. I destroyed him.” (from Rebels) and then Vader makes his first strike (I’m using SC 38 reimagined for my edit so it will be Vader making the first strike, as it should be IMO).
I think it fits better as “When I left you, I was but the learner” implies he was still Obi-Wan’s student, when in Revenge of the Sith he is no longer Obi-Wan’s Padawan, rather a Jedi Knight in his own right.
Not sure if the Kenobi show will render my idea weird or not though since the two will be meeting again in that show.
I think it’s better to hold on until the Kenobi series debuts and we have a better picture to work with. But I think is worth trying to bridge this slight inconsistency (though one could argue than “learner” does not necessarily mean the rank of apprentice).
Has anyone attempted to make a new Hayden ghost for Return of the Jedi that doesn’t reuse the original’s body and has a better smile?
I don’t know if this has been attempted yet (it probably has), but after seeing jonh’s incredible work with the Force spirits, I’m sure that it will be done with great results in the future, and I will finally have a ROTJ ending that’s perfect for me.
