Then that was when my brainstorm hit me and I will never look on this change with apathy or disdain ever again! The Hayden Christensen change came to mind and I was trying to figure out which, if any, category it would go into. Karl and I were discussing various changes in the Star Wars films changes we liked, changes we didn’t like, and changes we would make. I was doing my podcast prep for Episode 91 of The Wampa’s Lair Podcast. Over the years this lead to a gradual waning of my positive opinion of the Hayden change until I reached a neutral “non-opinion.” Two weeks ago that all changed. Since then I’ve defended my enjoyment of the change as a stylistic preference while conceding to story based arguments in favor of Sebastian Shaw. I got used to the change and decided I liked it because of how it tied the Prequel Trilogy in with the Original Trilogy, they are the same story after all. When the DVDs came out with the Hayden change I was surprised but not angry. But before you write me off as a young, prequel loving whippersnapper (although that may be true) my first exposure to the films was the Special Edition where I was able to see Sebastian Shaw in all his ghostly glory. The only OT film I have seen in its original version is ROTJ on a VHS at a friend’s house. I am a 25 year old Star Wars fan who missed seeing the OT in unaltered form. Now before anyone jumps on me for suggesting such a blasphemous idea let me give you some context about me and my thought process leading up to my conclusion. Hayden Christensen should be the Force ghost of Anakin Skywalker at the end of Return of the Jedi.
