By George, I Think He's Lost It

      As if we needed further proof that George Lucas has completely lost his marbles and simply cannot leave well-enough alone, comes this report on the (further!) revamping of the original Star Wars films, which includes this head-shaker:

In Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker is added as a ghostly image in the final scenes of the film, alongside Yoda and Alec Guinness' Obi-Wan Kenobi.   But Sebastian Shaw remains as the face of Darth Vader/Anakin in the scene in which Luke removes Vader's helmet, and not Christensen, as had been rumored.
D'Oh!   I'm amazed he hasn't replaced Alec Guinness with Ewan McGregor.   Sir Alec's wisdom in getting as far away from the Lucas franchise as possible is looking wiser and wiser everyday.
