It's prettty stupid, he saved him so he's at the point before he became evil right? That's why he gots normal color for his skin and normal body parts? But for some reason he's aged. Did Luke somehow create an alternate timeline or something?

There sure is an endless supply of PT lovers who come up with this stupid argument.

First of all, it is not that Luke saved anyone. His presence just triggered Anakin's return who then saved Luke. The old guy that died was Anakin... the Anakin Luke met and knew. It is only reasonable to appear in the age that Luke is supposed to recognise.

Except the Shaw ghost looks very little like the Anakin that Luke would recognize.

Anakin appearing the way he did in the OOT makes just as much sense as appearing as Hayden. Of course, no one want to admit that because they hate the prequels. The concession is it's easier for the audience to assume who the ghost is supposed to be when it's Shaw if the haven't seen the PT. But, if they have, it's the other way around.

Personally I think neither makes sense (Anakin shouldn't be a ghost anyway). The fact that people argue for Shaw so adamantly is a little silly, though if I had to I'd take that side only because, when viewing just the OT, Hayden just seems very out of place.
