Ok Hayden at the end of Return of the Jedi is a bit odd. But one must understand the whole concept of Anakin coming back as himself when he was good.  That is what he looked like the last time he was with the "light side", he would not come back scarred.  Your luminous appearance is more of a reflection of yourself, not a real thing, otherwise why would they have their robes on??  Anakin never really had a self projection as an old man, by then he was "more machine than man"...but I digress.

I sincerely hope the 3D conversion is a great one.

Disagree. He was good when he picked up the Emporer and threw him to his death. He was good when he took off his helmet to look at Luke. He shoudl have kept is older self as that is what he would have been logically upon death. That part should have just been left alone as its clearly not an enhancement.

True.  He was good at that point.   I agree that it is not an enhancement at all.  I personally don't care for the change, it was perfect before, but I don't hate the change either, at least I don't feel that my childhood was raped. 

But I think I understand why Lucas made the change.  Anakin might have been good at the end of his life, but he never saw himself as an old man.  He would not recognize himself in the mirror.  All he ever saw was a scarred face, if he ever cared to look at himself without the mask.  So, my take is Lucas feels that your spirit is a reflection on how you see yourself.  Anakin only remembers his good self young.

Let's see what happens in 2017 though, maybe the 3D version goes back to the original.  Or the change may even be in the blu ray release.
