Did Lucas ever explain why he changed it to this?
>>63293120
to show how good of friends they were
in his eyes it was for continuity reasons, although it's fucking retard.
They could have at least put him in makeup or something to make him look older
>>63293120
It made sense before, they all get ghost versions of what what they looked like when they died. Why isn't Obi-Wan played by Ian McGregor in this?
>>63293918
>>63293141
Dark side can't force ghost. This is when Ani died.
>>63293120
From his point of view it made the film better
>>63293950
He always feels that.
>>63293949
But Vader turned back to the light at the end.
>>63293696
Hayden was apparently unaware that he was being put in ROTJ at the time of filming this.
>>63293120
to be fair, at 40 something, you don't look terribly different from 20 something if you've kept yourself in shape, so it does make more sense that a non-burned to shit anakin would look younger.
>>63294178
no no watch force awakens trilogy it will explain that
>>63293949
From the "canon" right now the clone wars tv show is canon and darth bane is a force ghost in that so I don't think that's it. More like George just needed to piss fans off for giving him shit
>>63294488
>actually thinks cartoons will be cannon for years to come and wont be ignored the instant sales of its ideas stop.
>>63294211
Best explanation in the thread.
>>63293949
I can dream ya know
This scene ALWAYS fucking triggers me.
I can only imagine that he did it for the kids. Snotty little uninterested kids who would have no idea who the old white man is, but remember Hayden's stupid face from the prequels.
So basically, continuity.
>>63294211
But ROTJ Vader (Seb Shaw, not Prowse) was slightly pudgy and even had a double chin. His original force ghost appearance is unburned, and clearly a middle-aged dude
It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it
do they actually say thats vader and not just some random guy wandering around.
Sure, his explanation was "i'm a hack that lucked out by releasing a nerd bait movie just before nerd bait movies were a thing".
Star Wars was never good.

>>63293120
The only thing I don't like is Hayden Christensen's vacant expressions. Anakin looks like he doesn't know what the fuck is going on. I believe >>63294205 when he says Hayden wasn't aware this was going to be inserted into the end of ROTJ
>>63294488
piss weak force ghost though
>bane: be afraid!
>yoda: no
>bane gets sucked back into coffin
>>63294211
>to be fair, at 40 something, you don't look terribly different from 20 something
>>63296477
living under two suns can be a bitch
>>63296599
underrated sentiment desu
>>63295419
The original trilogy is better than every other nerd bait movie besides the LOTR trilogy.
This may shock you, but Star Wars fans know they aren't watching Citizen Kane.
>>63295798
Can you blame him when half the film was just Green.
in 1 month you will all see why george was right about everything
he would never have let there be a female protagonist
>>63295798
He gets a lot of flak some well deserved but he kinda looked the role but lacks any charisma on stage though I know Lucas's "directing" didn't help matters
>>63295344
Vader turned good right before he died
That's his older body unJUSTed.
That's what Vader would have looked like at his age in ROTJ if he was normal
>>63297649
whats this from?
>>63293120
Vader was only 45 in rotj.
Sebastian Shaw was 78 when he portrayed unmasked vader.
Hayden Christensen was 24 in rots.
24 is a lot closer to 45 than 78.
>>63297599
>what have i done?
>>63298851
kek
>>63297455
>LoTR
>>63294758
>you will never have a force ghost sheev appear to you
>>63296477
>going from 20 to 40 is the same as going from 40 to 60
Real smart.
>>63296365
Even if it was weak as fuck it's still in the new timeline.
>>63297649
>>63297809
Seriously, what the fuck.
>>63294621
Yup as long as disney has it in its timeline it's canon
JUST
I have two problems with this:
1. Your force ghost appearance should reflect the last time you were good. The last time Anakin was good was when he killed Sheev; I understand that young Anakin was the last time he was good and had all of his limbs, but...
2. For someone who has never seen the movies before watching the movies in release order, they won't know who the hell Hayden Christensen is supposed to be.
>>63299452
Jesus christ that looks like it hurts
>>63293120
So they can bring Anakin back for future episodes. Lucas knew there'd be more Star Wars over a decade ago
>>63295653
>Sheev
Is anyone more based?
>>63295653
KEEEEEEK
They were good friends.
>>63295653
the sheev part gave me a boner
>>63299511
>tfw they choose not to because all of george's ideas are considered crazy
>>63293120
Did I ever tell you about R2-4U?
He was a good droid.
