The OT SE 2.0 DVDs are unwatchable from even a continuity standpoint. Luke has a green lightsaber for a brief moment in A New Hope. The new Palpatine hologram scene in Empire screws with the dialogue to better match up with the prequels but hurts the internal logic of the film itself. And of course, for absolutely no reason, there's Hayden as a young Anakin force ghost.
I wouldn't even be as upset over the stupid Hayden change had Lucas not been so jaw-droppingly lazy about it. Oh well. I suppose it could have been worse...
Rick McMallum: "Mr. Lucas, if you really want to add Hayden to Return of the Jedi, we'll have to film the new footage before Episode III wraps this week."
George Lucas: "Go away. Charles in Charge is on."
RM: "But Mr. Lucas, we need you to approve which prosthetic aging makeup will be used on him."
Charles in charge... of our wrongs, and our rights...
(Lucas remains silent, fixated at the glow of his television screen)
RM: "Mr. Lucas..."
GL: (under breath) "Scott Baio would be perfect for a young Han Solo..."
RM: "Sir, Scott Baio is now older than Harrison Ford was in 1977."
GL: "Well he doesn't look it!"
RM: "No sir, that's because this was filmed in the 1980's."
GL: "Just like Return of the Jedi."
RM: "Right."
GL: "So then why are we trying to make Hayden look older?"
RM: "Because he's playing Anakin's ghost."
GL: "But nobody will buy that. Return of the Jedi was filmed in the 1980's. Like Charles in Charge! If anything, we should make sure Hayden looks like he did in the '80s!"
RM: "You want us to replace Sebastian Shaw with footage of an infant Hayden?"
GL: "That way nobody will question the change. It will be as if it was always that way in the movie!"
RM: "Sir, we don't even have footage of an infant Hayden."
GL (sighs): "Just film him now and make him look like a baby. You know, with computers and stuff."
RM: "You... you want us to film the adult Hayden... and then de-age him with CGI?"
GM: "How else will people believe Return of the Jedi was completed in 1983?"
RM: "But chronologically, that makes no sense."
GL: "Ssh ssh. The commercial is over."
