I actually prefer the DVDs and can't wait for more edits, seriously.

But on the other hand a ghost is a completely supernatural thing that isn't based on logic or science. It's magic and as such the rules can be a bit amorphous. The Shaw ghost can be a valid representation of Anakin and so can the Hayden ghost. I don't want to insist that the Shaw ghost couldn't exist. I'm saying that it isn't the only valid way.

Because Obi-Wan and Yoda maintained their basic forms upon death doesn't mean that this an absolute rule. There is nothing that indicates that it is the only way their ghosts could have appeared. You would never assume that because all the dogs you've seen in your lifetime are cocker spaniels then all dogs must be cocker spaniels. Similarly you can't assume that all Force ghosts take on the appearance of what the Jedi looked like before he died because Yoda and Obi-Wan do.

One way I think it could have been done is to show all three ghosts as they appear in the original version. Cut to Luke looking at them. Cut back and all three are their younger selves.
