The BS excuse Lucas gave is: Anakin was good in his youth, but then became evil. So his force ghost reverted to the last time he was good. ![]() |

I don't think there's any point trying to figure out "the rules." They weren't established. The UOT Anakin ghost was meant to look like a fatherly figure, the man Luke unmasked at the end. The new one was meant to bring you back to seeing Anakin as he was before he became Darth Vader (which ONLY works if you're watching the prequels first, as Lucas wants it). I'm not a really a fan of the alteration, mostly because I'm not a fan of the entire approach Lucas took with the prequels: to alter the originals to make them retro-active sequels. But it is what it is, and if I'm actually going to incorporate the prequels into the series, then I'll watch these versions. Most of the time I'd just assume watch the UOT by itself, though. |

Disney will just allow them to continue to release their own copy. Iger seems to be good at establishing relationships, I have no doubt that some kind of agreement will be made, and quickly. |

LucasFilm will just wait it out, then do some horsetrading for Episode IV distribution rights. Absolutely no reason to quickly make a deal to buy out a simple distribution fee.

Well, a) that's horsehockey, and b) Lucas doesn't own any of the materials anymore. Every scrap of negative is property of LucasFilm and therefore, by extension, their corporate parent.

Yeah and that makes it even weaker because the point of the ghost to begin with was to show the last time Anakin was good was when he reverted from evil to save his son!

I always assumed he really matted Whingy-Anakin in, in an attempt to tie the ending back to the PTs, for those whose first entry to the SW galaxy was through those green-screen mish-mashes. And to make it seem like the whole thing was a unified "saga", the story of Anakin's redemption, and planned that way from the start. Having grown up with the OT, and strongly disliked the character of Whingy-Anakin, I confess my response to that particular change was less than charitable. |

As for how the change was exucted, it could have been a lot better. The dialog didn't need to be changed, and the make up should have matched the ROTJ version of the Emperor rather than the ROTS version. |

Maybe its just me but back before all the prequels and stuff that inconsistency didnt really affect me much. It would bug me a lot more if I was watching Empire as the fifth movie and all of a sudden its like-- "Uh... thats totally not Palpatine." |

Padewan-Anakin's appearance there only makes sense if a) you're watching the film in the context of the PT, and b) you listen to Lucas' explanations given outside the film. Luke doesn't know Anakin from Adam, though of course he can guess who it is, so even in Lucas' explanation that the "ghosts" appear for Luke's benefit, why wouldn't he appear in the only form Luke's ever seen him in, as he originally did in the first cut of the film? The "this is his appearance as when he lost his innocence" is, at best, a fudge; but really, for me the bottom line is that, if you have to go outside a film for public statements to make any sense of a moment in the film, then in storytelling terms that moment has failed. |

I think what he meant to say is that the changing the Force ghost to be Emo Anakin, while pointless and revolting to those who saw and appreciate the original version of the OT, is supposed to tie everything together for those who grew up with the PT or something like that. I don't agree with his argument, but at least it's coherent if interpreted in that way... |
