Putting Hayden there doesn't do anything for or against this very wrong message.
Wow, Jimbo did you read anything i wrote? Let me paraphrase for you.
Lucas is contradicting himself and the original movies by trying to explain his changes away as his original intention or as to keep continuity. First off if he wanted to keep continuity he should have written the prequals to fit in better with what already existed. second if his original intention was to have a younger Anakin ghost then why didnt he higher a younger actor at the time...oh im sorry, i forgot, the technology to have younger actors didnt exist at that time...im sorry, ill concede on that point
Now let me get some clarification on your point. Anakin was redeemed at the end of ROTJ even when played by the Mr. Shaw. You said that most of his organs and limbs were mechanical...so wouldnt it be able to live in peice if his current body is de-mutilated, hence him having all his hair and limbs (and i dont think ghosts even need organs anyway). Also if im reading this correctly, you disagree with this message. If thats the case I just want you to realize your supporting Lucas on something that you dont believe in. I guess a part of blindly worshiping Lucas is to also learn to contradict yourself at every turn just like he does.
