A Link to the Past music on multi-tracked cellos by youtuber CelloBassett
Anybody with even a passing interest in Zelda and music should check these out!

Dark World
Hyrule Castle
Ancient Ruins
Seal of the Seven Maidens
Prince of Darkness
Zelda’s Lullaby (cello & guitar)

I’d love to be able to play the game with this guy doing the entire soundtrack.
It’s just perfect.

JEDIT- here’s some more Zelda music from him!
Song of Healing (Majora’s Mask)
Kass’ Theme (Breath of the Wild)
Zelda’s Lullaby (cello & guitar)

Best argument for Shaw being there is that WE JUST SAW HIM DIE.

The Shaw we saw die and the one who appears as a ghost look very different.

Once again, if you think his ghost should have been scarred, then Obi-Wan’s ghost should be missing his lower half.
It’s clearly the same man.

The difference is that Obi-Wan wasn’t cut down until he died. Shaw’s ghost is appearing as someone who never existed.

I get it. You like the horrible PT films. It’s just easier for me to say he never looked like Hayden because that character never existed for me.
It’s still backwards thinking though. The PT kool-aid has poisoned your mind.

I just say…actually nope. I gave my reason here.

Having Hayden appear IMO makes Anakins redemption less meaningful and deceptive. It almost pushes the idea that had he survived we are to think he will just return to the whiny young Jedi he was years ago which I think most of us will agree wouldnt be the case. IMO the redemption is more about a man turning his back on evil for good than simply reverting to who he had been many years before. The spirit Luke sees is the redeemed man who saved his life, not the whiny arrogant Jedi who would ultimately turn his back on good.

I agree. Plus, the whole point of Vader’s redemption is/was the fact that Luke saw potential there. Obi Wan had written Anakin off entirely, going so far as to declare Anakin dead by Vader’s hand (so to speak) and inferring that Luke’s only choice was to kill Vader. Luke refused to buy into this alleged separation between Vader and Anakin. Luke turned out to be right. There was ‘good in him’. Hence Shaw being the logical ghost.

Yep.

The bigger problem for me is the fact that Luke became a Jedi by throwing his weapon away and refusing to kill the bad guys - even as his friends were being slaughtered outside. Yet Darth somehow gets to Jedi heaven by killing the bad guy? Jedi ethics give me a headache…

Vader did it to save his son, not to “kill the bad guy”. There’s a big difference there.

At some point (especially in the hanger right before they escaped), sure. But I seriously doubt it [troops missing on purpose as to track them to the rebel base] was happening from the second they landed on the Death Star. That strains credibility by quite a bit.

No, not right away. But as soon as they bust the Princess out, I’d say the plan was made and orders given. The only scuffle before that is when Luke n’ Han are dressed as troops and take em by surprise.

Surprise that somehow lasted 10 minutes

That scene last 15 seconds.

The answer, as in most movies, is that the faceless enemy can be shot while the heroes can’t otherwise the movie would just come to a screeching halt. It’s nothing more than the mechanics of making a movie like this.

Sure, but, like in most good movies, there are reasons given even if they are a bit of a stretch.
