The '04 DVDs sank the SEs to yet another depth by adding Hayden Christiansen to the finale of ROTJ, which to me, is one of the most inexcusable atrocities ever committed in the history of the moving image.

I know I'm going to regret asking, but here goes: why do you think it's such a crime? An unwanted change I can buy, but a crime? If it's because Shaw is dead, then I'm calling bullshit. In case you didn't notice, he's still in the unmasking scene. You know, the one appearance where he actually has to act. His entire performance is still in the movie, minus five seconds of standing and smiling. If anything, you should just count yourself lucky that Hayden didn't actually say anything. Seriously, of all the things to get riled up about, you choose this? What about Clive Revill? Not only was his entire performance cut out of the film, but he's still alive to see it. That's a much bigger insult than what happened to Shaw, and yet that's the one major change that most of the people around here seem to accept.
