Question about Return of the Jedi

[Hector]

Ok, I've just seen ROTJ on cable for the first time since seeing Revenge of the Sith.

One major thing I noticed is that at the end of ROTJ, when Luke turns and sees the three Jedi spirits, he sees Alec Guinness as Obi Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and now, young Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker.




Ok, since before this viewing, the spirit of Anakin Skywalker was actor Sebastian Shaw.




I know Lucas made the change due to wanting continuity with his newer trilogy films.

But my question. If he had to make the change for continuity, and feature an in-his-prime Anakin (Christensen). Then why not change Kenobi from Alec Guinness to Ewan McGregor then?

So it's either Shaw and Guinness...or Christensen and McGregor.

Bloody Lucas.

That's a good question, Hec...
Never thought of that

I personally refuse to watch those butchered movies.
To me, they're no different than CGI classic Treks.
Embarrassing to watch.

Thanks to a good bud Museum member......
I have my set of Classic Star Wars movies on DVD (recorded from original laser discs).
I wont watch any other

[Hector]

l also got those original SW DVD's, they're probably from the same guy in here you got 'em from, lol.

Mike, I don't mind some of the newer features added to the classic SW films, but at least be consistent, Lucas blew it, it's either Guinness and Shaw, or McGregor and Christensen...Lucas is getting all confused in his later years.

I'm sure they are

Everytime I watch Star Wars, Empire--and--Jedi on DVD, I always have a McWonderful time

the reason that anakin was changed is because lucas felt that Anakin 'died' when he changed to the evil side so his ghost should look like just before he 'died', if you know what I mean.
stupid if you ask me.

[toys2cool]

That is a great question and I always wondered the same thing,but what ninja said is pretty much what I've heard before

[Hector]

But that doesn't make any sense.

Darth Vader redeemed himself when he tossed the Emperor to his death.

Luke took off his helmet and revealed a human being, a father who saved his son...Darth Vader became Anakin Skywalker once again.

That's when Anakin died, not when he was young.

Besides, how the heck is Luke supposed to know what young Anakin Skywalker looked like? From a photo album? LOL!

Like I said, it's either the two old geezers together, or the two young bucks, as spirit Jedis.

Bloody Lucas.

LOL! I agree bro,but what about the Yoda,do you change him to the younger one from episode 1? or do you put him younger before his hair turned white,who knows maybe he had black hair or something

[Hector]

Another thing I didn't like is Yoda's change in only 30 years.

The dude was like 900 years old or something.

I don't think a measly 30 years would've changed him much.

He also turned from a benevolent but serious dude, to a jokster, all in a measly 30 years, we are talking about a very old dude here.

Here I go again...

[batmanmc]

would have been better to leave them the way they were in my opinion. mike

LOL! living in solitude under a tree for 20 years and eating that crap he eats would do that to him

This is why you don't buy the DVD boxed set. You buy the two-packs of each movie they released in 2006 so you can sit and watch the original version and not have to watch the newer version and give yourself a headache trying to figure it all out.

Also, how come the ewoks can speak without moving their mouth? I guess evolution worked weird on Endor.

[DocDrako]

Yeah, and if Leia "always knew" that Luke was her brother, why did she kiss him twice? Space incest? Or lousy writing? You decide!
