i think this already may have been attempted.
Oh god, no. Hayden will never appear in my OT edits
I'm still trying to fathom how he appeared in George's. Sticking in Hayden was far worse than sticking in Jar Jar.
why is it any worse?
anybody that saw the prequels first will 'get it'..
and people that saw the originals will ignore it..
doesn't bother me..

Why is it worse? Because Hayden's performances were the worst thing about the prequels, and that's really saying something. Plus it's destroying a great crucial Sebastian Shaw moment. Plus it's an insult to Shaw.
People who saw the originals will want to see Sebastian Shaw in that moment and if they can't they won't just ignore it.
And people shouldn't have to see the prequels first to get it. The prequels are irrelevant to the great Star Wars saga. They don't belong. You shouldn't have to see them to understand anything in the old films. The old films worked fine without the prequels before Lucas got to messing with them.
And showing old Anakin shows that old Anakin was redeemed. Showing young Anakin implies that it wasn't the old guy who was redeemed. Not to mention how essential it is for people who haven't seen the prequels and don't now Hayden Skywalker (nobody should have to see the prequels).

This is the non-SW fan in me talking here, so don't get too upset: If the fans weren't so insane, there wouldn't have been a rift to begin with. Numerous other films have had major changes made to them years after the fact without their fanbases going ballistic. Most of the people who don't like it simply say "Well, that was unnecessary" and leave it at that. They'd even buy the new versions and deal with the additions (i.e. not start some [honestly] insignificant boycott).
It's thoroughly reasonable for fans to get pissed off when a beloved classic is senselessly messed with in ways that totally don't fit.
