.....this is the only thread from the PT that I would consider altering the OT to fit with the PT.

I'm against altering the OT to fit the PT for any reason.

The only reason I suggest making Anakin fade away is so that the force ghost thing makes sense within the OT.

It can still make perfect sense to have Anakin not disappear (at least to me it would). Having him disappear would dissolve a lot of the dramatic tension we already have. ROTJ needs to hold on to its few great moments for dear life!

Either ignoring the prequels entirely, or assuming that Ady will make some or all of the Jedi vanish in them, Anakin's body remaining makes perfect sense. Think about how the audience will view it for a second:

Anakin dies: "Oh no, he didn't vanish. I guess he's in purgatory, force Hell, or wherever bad Jedi go."

Obi and Yoda appear: "Well that's nice.....still sad about Anakin though"

Anakin appears: "YAY! He made it after all!"

Having Anakin's body vanish right after death undoes all of that and removes all ambiguity about whether Anakin redeemed himself at all. His ghost appearing should always be the first indicator that he's made it to "the other side". Otherwise we've already had our visual cue that he has and it diminishes the impact of the moment his ghost appears.

Furthermore, having Anakin's body be the first one you've ever seen to just lay there......feels kind of dark if Ady makes all Prequel Jedi vanish in his versions.
