Which one do you like better?

Realistically, it has to be Hayden, because he was Anakin Skywalker. The original is a ghost of a man that never actually existed in that form.

That said, I don't like going back and retro-actively changing movies.

Changing it makes things confusing. The scene at the end of Jedi where Luke removes Vader's mask and there's now just some random stranger acting as Anakin for two minutes.

Shaw.

Shaw but with the victory celebration track because holy shit Yub Nub is terrible

The worst change Lucas made by far, more so than Han shoots first. He was Anakin Skywalker when he died on the DS and admitted that Luke was right that he never truly fell completely.

realistically

Is the amount of cope for obvious retconning unique to Star Wars?

the 1977 duel was shit b-because… it was an old man and a half-cyborg!

the fights were better in the prequels because it was Jedi in their prime!

Anon, Anakin redeemed himself as an old man. That is why realistically he should be old as a force ghost. He died Anakin Skywalker not Darth Vader.

Neither really work. George not just using David Prowse was baffling. Even if they had to dub his voice without the mask. Prowse even looked like kinda like Luke. Vader's age in the OT always made no sense, even before the prequels.

now that Hayden is about the right age, they should reshoot it again with him

Would be pretty easy. You don't even see Hamill in the unmasked shots. Just the back of his head with the side of his face in shadow. Could easily get a stand-in to sit there and wear a wig in front of Hayden. They could've filmed this while he was in makeup for the Kenobi show.

Anakin redeemed himself as an old man

Bro was 45. He's as old as Hayden is now.

Changing it is shit purely on the concept and precedent it set of going back and changing already finished films.

They're his movies, bro. He could do whatever the hell he wants with them.

Just because I can legally do something that makes it the right thing to do

The real problem though is George made it hard to get the un molested version on newer formats

That it is legal does not in any way remove the fact that it is a travesty and despicable.
And it isnt about this one movie or franchise. It is about the precedent of "our current times know best and will change historical media with no preservation of the original".

The real problem though is George made it hard to get the un molested version on newer formats

Only turbonerds care about those. Regular people just watch the movies because they don't have autism to ruin their enjoyment. Plus, you got the Despecialized Editions online for free so quit your bitching and download them.

Nigger it's about the preservation of art. Are you gonna defend Disney keeping song of the south out of peoples hands?

Fine, he redeemed himself as an "old man" (he was like 40). Doesn't that mean his force ghost should have no arms, legs or hair? Why is his force ghost a hypothetical "Anakin if he never fell"?

It is about the precedent of "our current times know best and will change historical media with no preservation of the original".

Again, the Despecialized Editions exist. Watch those. And it's a problem when it's someone other than the creator making changes like Disney or the government. But it's the guy who not only created it but funded it all himself. He's got the right to do it, regardless of what some guy on the internet says.

the Despecialized Editions exist.

Only because of fan efforts and could easily be pulled down for copyright infringement you dumb fucker. More importantly it's the precedent being sent. Your retarded thinking is what allows people to edit books and films destroying history in a vain attempt at white washing shit

Again, the Despecialized Editions exist. Watch those.

Do you not comprehend the term "precedent"?
Will you be so blase if/when Scorcese dies and Hollywood decides Goodfellas shouldnt say nigger any more?
Or how about the 1963 epic Cleopatra shouldnt have Elizabeth Taylor in it, but some sand negress? That cool with you?

NOOOOOOO

Only because of fan efforts and could easily be pulled down for copyright infringement you dumb fucker.

Then quit the nerd rage and download it now, dipshit.

Do you not comprehend the term "precedent"?

Bro, who gives a fuck? Why do you care so much when the alternatives are free online to download whenever? Are you a chick? Do you just love to bitch about bullshit that doesn't matter?

Every Starshit thread:

Irrelevant Starshit question

Bunch of fags circle jerking George Lucas

when the alternatives are free online to download whenever?

Just like geocities and what.cd.
Libraries: they NEVER burn!

Are you a chick?

No, because I CARE about film.

Orgiberbil exerpt foar blade runner, which I prefert thine director's cut, which is the onlu version Inhave seen, on the dvd I bought with the cardboard case.

Is that Eat Sloppo?

Only a retard could be this fucking short sighted.

I think this is my opinion too. Kind of poor taste to replace Shaw and Anakin would be older at that point anyway so it makes no sense he's a young man again. But Yub Nub was fucking stupid while the new ending song is fantastic.

yub nub is the only good thing ever shat out by star wars fagggot

he's a Nubcel

hes a reddit discord tranny that hates fun

yub nub was great, the new song is completely forgettable

He loves Yub Nub

But thinks Jedi Rocks is too kiddy

New song has been stuck in my head since I was a kid actually

Yup. Y'all just wanna bitch instead. How sad.

I bet you don't even know the lyrics

Yeah like sell them to evilcorp united

stop hurting my head and making me think about the slop I want to consume

Lemme stop ya right there

I'm jumpin' in my Falcon, Wookiee at my side

I really hope you are a paid shill because otherwise you are almost too naive to exist.
Go suck corpo cock somewhere else

No, once they're out they're the audience's movies. The audience enjoyed it, gave it their blessing and asked for more. That doesn't mean you can go back, make a shit-ton of changes, and say "you liked it before, you also like it with all my changes". It's the same dumb shit Ridley pulled with Blade Runner. Deckard was obviously a human and fans enjoyed the movie. Decades later Ridley edited many scenes to take out the obvious human elements and insert replicant nonsense because Ridley loves idiotic purposeless twists. Is it the same movie now that the message is completely different? Are fans still required to give the same rating to the new movie? Not at all.

Paid shill for what? I'm literally telling y'all to pirate.

once they're out they're the audience's movies

Says who?

NTA but you are literally saying you don't care in companies keep films out of the hands of people because it's their property. That piracy you condone shouldn't have to exist in the first place you dumb fucker. You are sucking corporate cock and don't even realize it. It's fucking sad

Hayden works better when the six films are watched in order as intended.

but you are literally saying you don't care in companies keep films out of the hands of people because it's their property

Never said that.

That piracy you condone

Yeah, you're a fucking nerd. Who cares, bro? I thought you hated these guys. Piracy should be your go-to.

Watching in numerical order ruins them and creates a large number of plot holes for the OT

IV, V, I, II, Genndy CW, III, VI is the correct order.

Maybe he just wanted to look like a father figure for Luke and not like some fag, it's not like the movie gives you any info about force ghost mechanics

shit sandwich

not like some fag

We get it, you're ugly.
