Or even better, replace Shaw and RotS Christiansen in RotJ with an aged up Christiansen. Shaw looks and sounds nothing like Anakin at all and should be removed from every version of the films, including the unmasking and especially in RoS:A.

Isn’t this what we ended up doing for this edit? I can’t remember. It was either discussed or implemented. Because to me the Anakin ghost does look aged up a bit via Faceapp. (Come to think of it I’m pretty sure it’s just the light levels messing with my eyes).

Jon’s Anakin is aged up from what I can tell with the lighting. I’ve not been paying a huge amount of attention to this thread (there’s a huge amount of updates all the time and I’d rather just wait) but I’m sure I saw Hal considering the Shaw ghost which would be a colossal mistake to me.

I think replacing the Anakin in ROTJ with a better looking ghost is definitely the best thing to do, idk how you would replace Shaw from the unmasking though. He looks great in ascendant.

Deepfakeing. Actually, facially and all made-up, Shaw’s fine in the unmasking scene as he is supposed to be burnt beyond recognition (unless he ends up unmasked in Kenobi where he’ll obviously look like Christiansen) where all he needs is new eyes, his eye scar, and removed eyebrows.
It’s his voice that’s the problem, 4 of the 5 main actors for Anakin/Vader have been American (or Canadian using an American accent) so to suddenly develop an English accent out of nowhere is just suspension of disbelief breaking.
