I think 1997 ending was perfect.

I just can't describe the disappointment I felt when I first saw that Shaw was replaced by Hayden. It is hands down, by far the worst change Lucas ever made. Hell, I would go as far to say that it is the worst thing Lucas did in his entire career.

Worse than The Star Wars Holiday special?

Worse than Jar Jar Binks or Howard the Duck. Worse than Indiana Jones riding through the air for 5 miles in a nuked fridge. Worse than Hayden Christensen's atrocious bad acting as Skywalker/Vader?
