Star Wars Redux

Today marks 365 days until the release of STAR WARS: EPISODE III to theatres. Speaking of Star Wars releases, the original STAR WARS trilogy is due to be released on DVD on September 21st. Hey, do you remember the scene at the end of RETURN OF THE JEDI with Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi, when Hayden Christensen fades in as the ghost of Anakin Skywalker? What, you don't remember that?

As reported by various sources, that's just one of the many new changes George Lucas has made to the "not-so-original anymore" STAR WARS trilogy. Not satisifed with the tinkering in the Special Editions of A NEW HOPE, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and RETURN OF THE JEDI several years ago, Lucas has filmed new elements and changes for the beloved trilogy. Granted, as creator, he has the right to do that, but based on his track record ("Greedo Shoots First!"), this can't be a good thing.

hmmm, i have to take this rumour with a huge pile of salt. for it to make any sense he'd also have to put in ewan mcgregor, and go back and change the scene where vader's face is revealed. plus completely dishonour sebastian shaw's contribution to the story - his scenes are brief, but incredibly poignant. i think lucas has flipped out to a certain degree, but not that much. well, i sure hope not at any rate...!

TRUE TRUE TRUE! YAY!!!!!!

Makes sense, too. Yoda and Obi-Wan faded into the Force and retained their identity. When Anakin died, they were then able to bring him into the Force with them, but with his physical identity as it was when they knew him, not the twisted, scarred torso with no arms and legs as when he died.
