For those of you that don’t recognize the image above (for shame! ;-p), it is the last scene of Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi<\/i><\/a> where Luke and Leia are visited by the ghostly figures of the recently-departed Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The original actor<\/a> that portrayed Anakin has seemingly been digitally replaced with Hayden Christensen<\/a>, who plays\/will play Anakin\/Darth Vader in Episodes II<\/a> and III<\/a>, and that just blows. I knew that the upcoming DVDs<\/a> would be the 1997 Special Editions rather than the original versions<\/a>, which is bad enough. And I have heard rumors of additional revisionist changes (including that Qui-Gon Jinn from Episode I<\/a> would also be added to the above scene), but this is too much. It’s possible that this is a forgery, but it comes from a fairly reputable source (Slashdot<\/a><\/i>), so it could be the real deal.<\/p>\n

I wish George Lucas would get it into his thick skull that he can mess with a classic all he wants, but he should acknowledge his fans and release it in its original form as well as his in his “enhanced” version. I guess I’m quite the geek for ranting about this so much, but so be it…<\/p>\n
