The whole point of the prequels was to show how Anakin got in the suit and became Darth Vader. I can’t believe some were expecting the ESB reveal to be preserved. If you’re not gonna show Anakin become Vader, then there’s no point to having prequels. Obviously some people here are fine with that, but since they exist, I really don’t see the point of that change. ESB was released 33 years ago, we all know what happens, and everyone knew what was going to happen when they were making the PT. The only reason people were interested in the PT at all was to see the transformation.

Seeing the transformation is one of the few payoffs of the PT, why take it away?
