Heh. Just got the new Insider and there's a letter I felt I had to share. Didn't expect this to actually be published, but here it is:

A GHOSTLY EDIT
I recently bought the Star Wars trilogy DVD set, and something has been on my mind. Why has the spirit of Anakin Skywalker, as seen at the end of Return Of The Jedi, been changed from Sebastian Shaw to hayden Christensen?
Danielle Cole - Davisburg, MI

And the official response:

When the photo of that shot was circulated on the internet, many fans were upset that Hayden had been inserted, most because they just didn't see the connection. However, there is a very reasonable explanation-but it can't be revealed until next spring when a certain new film opens in a theater near you.

Ugh. Well, just thought I'd randomly share that.
