In spite of all the changes, the credits haven't been updated since 1997.
You'd think the ILM fellows responsible for pasting a Dug into Jabba's palace, or Wicket's demonic eyes would want some acknowledgement. ;)
I've never been so glad to have been wrong before. Still shouldn't have replaced him with Hayden though. Though I will admit the rape face is kind of poetic considering all of the terrible changes George made.

It's not really a bad idea to begin with. If Luke were to tell Kylo Ren about the dangers of the Darkside you people would have no problem with it. But because one strand from the prequels would be in the ST then suddenly the idea is shit. Let me ask...who would know most about how toxic the Darkside is? Anakin of course seeing as how he was engulfed in it for decades. I don't see any reasoning for that being a bad idea other than "its bad because prequels"
Obi-Wan's ghost, apart from being an exposition delivery vehicle, was there to provide some bare minimum of guidance for Luke on his path to becoming a Jedi. Luke's final glance at the ghosts of his three "fathers" at the end of ROTJ is only meaningful if it is just that - a final glance - which the film strongly implies it is by showing Luke finally turning his back to them and rejoining the world of the living.
Luke emerged from the OT as a fully-formed Jedi. Having the Force Ghosts linger on into the ST would not only diminish his role as the elder mentor figure for the new characters, it would also diminish the very concept of death (at least for Jedi) in the saga. What meaning does Obi-Wan's sacrificial death have (or Anakin's for that matter) if they can just continue to appear in the films and interact with living characters, differing from their former living selves only in that they are a bit bluer and more translucent?
Anakin's story - his arc - is finished, I'd have thought that that was one thing PT haters and lovers could agree on. It falls to Luke to impart wisdom and warnings to the youngsters now - and, as hero of the OT (and the PT too if you consider that he is his father's redeemer), nobody has earned that duty more than him. To have him sit passively off to the side while the ghost of his young-looking father lectures the new villain about the evils of villainy would be all manner of lameness and shite, and we can only be grateful that it is so exceedingly unlikely to occur under the watchful eye of the ST's creative team.
Thanks for being exactly right.
While we're at it, let's put force ghost Jar-Jar in the movie.

Jar-Jar isn't Force Sensitive. Nice try though.
He can't be a ghost until Frink's edit is finished. ;)
Where were you in '77?

That's what he wanted you to think.
Jar-Jar is behind it all. He's the Sith lord, Palpatine is just his puppet.

Are you implying Jar Jar might be Darth Plagueis? If so that would be one hell of a play.
Maybe we will know if Lucas' script for TFA surfaces...

I knew it. Jar Jar is in truth Darth Bane, and his goal is to be the bane of everyone's existence.

And here’s the pictorial evidence:
Well thanks to this discussion I can safely say I want no part of the PT in the newer films. It’s been a good talk.

I wanna see Hayden Christensen in Episode 8, cause it makes sense for him to be in it. It won’t make sense for Ben to get young again tho, so it should be CGI instead of Ewan.

No it doesn’t.
How does it make sense for Hayden to be there? Will he be a Force Ghost or a Clone?

Stormtrooper?
Why do I have a bad feeling about this. What’s next? Bring back a much older Hayden to shoot the unmasking of Vader in Return of the Jedi, so that it all connects together nicely?
I heard rumors of Hayden returning for something (Rogue One perhaps?) I think if they do bring him in for VIII, that he gives Luke some final knowledge before disappearing for good. I really don’t think it’s for VIII, but I could be wrong.
I also heard Ewan McGregor is returning as well. I guess we’ll find out.

What’s that, all the old threads you’re digging up?
Yeah, if you keep going you’ll break the shovel early.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
If they really need force ghost of Anakin or Obi-Wan, they should just use CGI with appearance of Shaw or Guinness.
真実
I wouldn’t be opposed to Ewan voicing.l a CG Alec Guinness.
