For me, I hate that Obi Wan was that far gone to begin with. Buried his lightsabers to avoid detection, and a bit rusty, but that shot of him barely able to move that tool on on the ship was too much. My edit doesn’t make him quite as pathetic. Facing full powered Vader when you are rusty would be frightening under any circumstance. In my mind he doesn’t need too much to bring him back.

Agree with Revel, never want to see episode 4 again other than bacta scene and Leia taking his hand.

100% agree. Even if you think episode 4 is necessary for the “arc” of getting back to how he was, it still doesn’t do a good job of that and makes it seem really rushed. Better to just leave the idea out. There are reasons why he wouldn’t be prepared to face Vader anyway because of guilt and fear.

Not an abundance in the series is warranted as doing a “good job”, so we have to work with what we got. I do see your point and It’s totally fair that you disliked Episode 4. Episode 4 is and will not be a part of the timeline of this edit for pacing reasons now having done new edits, unless as a seperate “Extended Cut” upon (or after) release.

There are already some attempts at de-aging Anakin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhPmdlUuwOI

Yes, thank you. There are quite a lot on the web right now. I’ll probably stick with whatever best incarnation we get, unless the GOAT himself (you all know who) does a deepfake before the edit’s release.
