people who hate on the remastered version of rotj adding hayden christensen’s anakin at the end as a force ghost completely miss the point that lucas was trying to make. throughout the entirety of of the trilogy obi-wan keeps saying that darth vader ‘killed’ anakin skywalker, and obi wan tells luke that his father was a great jedi (even tho obi knows that anakin IS darth vader.)
like, in rotj when obi wan says ‘well from a different perspective, darth vader killed the man i knew [as your father]’. when the redemption happens at the end, when darth vader saves luke from palpatine and returns to the light side, he is effectively returning to the man he was before he became darth vader.
that’s why his force ghost is hayden christensen. because it is a visual representation of the man he was before he became darth vader, and the man anakin returned to by saving luke before he died.
