sadly I have little hope for seeing Shaw's ghost... :\

Why is that?

 Just intuition I guess; it's hard to put into words. It's kind of because, while it's completely atrocious to people like us, to the non-fan (or TFN guy) the Hayden change isn't non-sensical in the same way that Greedo shooting or the extra rocks are.

I'd love to be proven wrong though!

Gotcha, although I have the opposite intuition and I think that it is non-sensical. What's the point of making a ghost look younger?

 Yes, I agree, and I also personally think that Hayden's ghost is the most offensive of all the Special Edition changes, and I would be thrilled to see it gone. I still would be surprised if he's removed, but the more I think about it, that is a change that everybody notices (the 20 second video of Shaw's ghost from the GOUT, just Shaw and not a comparison of him and Hayden, has over 1.2 million views on youtube) since it really is the most obvious change because you have a modern actor shoved into ROTJ. CGI in a 70's movie doesn't even raise an eyebrow, but pretty much everyone can figure out that Hayden wasn't there before. I know that it's non-sensical, I just meant that it's non-sensical in a different way than the extra rocks or Han dodging Greedo's bullet since those break the laws of physics.
