Although in a sense, I suppose the "nooo!" makes him seem more like creepy Anakin from the episodes 2 and 3, the whiny one who always wants his way. Maybe that's why some of the gushers like it.

Are there seriously people who think this was a good idea?

They reside at theforce.net boards. I have witnessed this myself in the last few days. It's hard to imagine what they wouldn't tolerate but I also think most of them are to a degree just saying that to convince themselves, if you gave them the choice I don't doubt almost every person would pick the silent version of that scene.

I think you found the same kind of apologists on TheForce.net for the Hayden/Anakin ghost on the 2004 DVDs. There was a lot of rationalizing then of why Lucas decided to do that.

For some reason, I find the "nooooooo" harder to defend. Maybe because I've maxed out on these absurd changes.
