Hayden Christiansen being added to Return of the Jedi DVD

Interesting. At first I thought it was odd that they didn't change Obi-Wan's ghost to Ewan McGregor, but when you think about it it makes sense since he'd want to appear in the form that Luke knew the best.

But by that same logic why would Anakin chose a form that Luke had never known?

Man, that is mega-lame. I hope this isn't true (not that I'd buy the new SW dvds anyway).

Methinks someone's been playing with Photoshop.

Same here. Or maybe I'm just a suspicious bastard. Or both

Well Steve Sansweet has already confirmed that there'll be further changes to the films and this one does seem to be a logical revision so my inclination is that its real. We obviously won't know for certain for a few more months yet.

Well you're assuming an aged and scarred Hayden won't be inserted into the "unmasking" scene. Makes you wonder....

I just want them to do it right. Digitally insert James Earl Jones's head onto Darth Vader's body. Then recast Hayden Christiansen with Lawrence Fishburn, and replace young kid Anakin with Gary Coleman.

LOL! Now that's classic.

Maybe Emmanual Lewis could vie with Coleman for the role?

I've always thought you didn't get to choose; you appeared in the form where you were last 'Good' since when Vader appears he's as a whole man, not the thing he was at the end, unlike the other two. Thus, if they're moving up the time that Vader falls to the Dark Side (as a young man and not as - it could be presumed - a much older man) then it would make sense he would appear younger.

Still unsure about the authenticity. Moriarty seems pretty sure about it but they've been fooled by hoaxsters before, just like others have been.
