Other misguided changes include an embarrassing musical number, “Jedi Rocks," in Jabba’s palace, an unconvincing CGI Jabba talking with Han in A New Hope, and Vader screaming “ Nooo!” when dispatching the Emperor. Perhaps the most infamous and egregious is Han shooting Greedo first in the first Star Wars film, retroactively titled A New Hope (something that Lucasfilm has largely backtracked on in subsequent re-edits over the years). Replacing Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christensen in Return of the Jedi isn’t the only change to the original Star Wars trilogy that divided fans. The latter two never turned to the Dark Side, so they don't have a point to "go back to where we left it off" like Anakin.
Lucas' reasoning also clarifies why Anakin's Force Ghost is young in Return of the Jedi, while Obi-Wan and Yoda are older. This is why his Force Ghost in Return of the Jedi resembles the person he was before Palpatine twisted him. Although there were times Anakin tapped into the Dark Side to get the upper hand, he wasn't fully corrupted until Revenge of the Sith. Rather than Vader, who has already committed numerous atrocities for Palpatine, Hayden Christensen's Anakin Force Ghost is modeled on the heroic Jedi Knight who fought in the Clone Wars. Though Vader turned back to the light and defeated the Emperor in Return of the Jedi, which means that Sebastian Shaw's Anakin Force Ghost should remain intact, Anakin had already been consumed by the Dark Side at that point.

When Anakin was redeemed upon saving Luke in Return of the Jedi, his "inner person would go back to where we left it off." Additionally, Lucas thought replacing the original Anakin Force Ghost with Christensen would help to connect the prequels and originals, bringing it full circle. This was a notable revelation on how Force Ghosts in Star Warswork.
In an event where George Lucas and Hayden Christensen interviewed each other and answered fan queries, Lucas explained that the reason why Anakin's Force Ghost is young is that he metaphorically died after becoming Vader - an idea reinforced by Darth Vader himself during Obi-Wan Kenobi.
