Return Of The Edits

I caught the end of the new Return Of The Jedi DVD. For those who haven’t heard, Lucas made a number of changes to the original trilogy for the DVD release, one of the most noticible being the addition of Hayden Christensen to the happy Jedi ghost party scene in the RotJ finale. A lot of fans are screaming at the travesty but I actually like the change. With the prequels done, the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker is firmly established in the Star Wars universe. It’s only fitting that the ghost of Anakin at the end should look the same as Anakin did in his last moments before he became Darth Vader. No offense to the actor who was edited out of the scene, but I always thought he looked out of place. He was just some guy.
