Okay, I can understand that. That's a matter of personal taste... To me Young Anakin is a stronger image... We saw the burned up, rotten and aged body a couple of scenes before. The young, uncorrupted jedi-hero is a stronger contrast to the zombie-like creature from before. When you watch the movies in chronological order it's about 6 hours at this point that you haven't seen Hayden as Anakin. Seeing him in this short scene reminds me instantly of his tragedy and salvation...

I hope no one else from Toronto reads this

Noticed one change in Episode III, when the clone troops arrive on Utapau to aid Obi-One, instead of a vocal-less entry, they're all exclaiming 'move it' and army talk like that.

I always used to think when she said that, she was talking about the woman who adopted her, because she never knew she was adopted until late in the films, unles I'm remembering wrong?

She was adopted by Bail Organa and his wife.

I always assumed they were alive and well until the Death Star demonstration

Yes! Them pair

She would have grown up beliving her real mother was Bails wife, whom she would have known, explaining why she says she remembers her mother.

But the Yoda line explains things either way.

The scene is more poetic now with Hayden Christensen playing it. The scene is a metaphor that illustrates two important points.
1) Anakin is restored to his jedi-self and freed from the prison of his inflated Vader-persona.
2) Luke is now aware of the spirit-world - A knowledge even the jedi in their heyday didn't have and that he will very likely incorporate in his teachings to the next generation.

For future generations watching SW, the problem now lies:

If you watch the movies as they were released (IV-VI, then I-III), then Hayden in Jedi makes ZERO sense, because viewers haven't seen him yet.

If you watch them in order (I-IV), then the twist at the end of Empire that Vader is Luke's father (as well as Luke and Leia being siblings) is no longer a surprise, thus rendering one of the major movie moments in film history useless.

That's the reason I hate Hayden being at the end of Jedi. The OT should be watched first, then the PT. But new viewers will have no idea who Hayden is. Major fail.

Note: I did a search for Star Wars Blu-Ray unboxing videos on Youtube and discovered that Mexico got the same Digi-Stack packaging as Europe re. The Complete Saga.

Same here. I have a best buy that is a 3 minute drive away that just says "unavailable" which really pisses me off. I would love to reserve one so i can pick it up first thing friday and get to watching!!

Great Point. Many plot flaws... I don't care much for the prequels I will eventually check them out but I'm not as excited for them.

It will be $89.99 I believe. I work at one and haven't even seen them around in our backroom. The price on walmart.com had it at $89.99, but if you bring in an ad from Target with the $79.99 price they should be able to do the PM for you right there.
I stand corrected, it is a $79.99 online preorder price. Just to be safe though, call ahead or bring the ad. The seperate trilogies will be $39.99 each. http://www.walmart.com/cp/Star-Wars-Music-DVDs/1073066

very good points, doh you just revealed the twist in ESB tho, so you might want to put spoilers alerts for the future generations just in case someone has not seen the Star Wars Saga yet

Because that's not any real order, maybe? Who would know to watch them in THAT order? Should the movies come with a guide now?

Haha yeah I thought about that. Oh well.

Still going with the Wally world edition with Boba Fetta.

All the stores in Chicago say unavailable too. I have a feeling that they will become "available" at all Best Buy stores on Friday. I plan on going to the midnight release party that a local Best Buy is having here in Chicago.

I've only watched one SW movie, Revenge Of The Sith, and that was many years ago. Even so I knew about Vader being Luke's father even before I watched that one. It's been parodied about a million times. Knowing the ending doesn't take away from my excitement of finally watching all 6 Star Wars movies, and on Blu-ray.

I previously asked what order I should watch these movies, thanks for the many replies. I've decided on watching them in the order of 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, because I'm afraid that if I start with the PT its superior cg effects would make the OT's special effects look too dated.
