A scary thought came to me the other day. I realize that for most of us we have a good reason to be pissed off that Sebastian Shaw was replaced by Hayden Christensen at the end of ROTJ. But what about those kids or people that only see the new star wars (prequels and special editions)?
Screw the damn kids.
I'm guessing they cast Hayden because they thought he bore some kind of vague, passing resemblance to a younger Mark Hamill. Which may leave some to wonder why, when looking for the older version of Anakin in ROTJ they didn't find a guy who looked like an old version of Mark - or put Mark in prosthetic makeup like they did with Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover in "Back to the Future".
