How Star Wars has changed Return of the Jedi.
The Star Wars franchise has grown significantly over the past 40 years, changing how viewers see Return of the Jedi. The final film in the original Star Wars trilogy was unchanged for a long time, as there weren't many books or comics to drastically alter the story. That all changed in 1991 with the release of Heir to the Empire, kicking off the modern Expanded Universe and reviving interest in stories set after Return of the Jedi.
8 Anakin Skywalker's Force Ghost Returns To His Young Form The late Sebastian Shaw appeared as Anakin's Force Ghost in the theatrical cut of Return of the Jedi, but this was changed to Hayden Christensen for the 2004 DVD release. The theatrical version shows Anakin as he may have been had he never turned to the dark side, a father figure looking at Luke with pride.
5 Luke's Behavior Is More Troubling Return of the Jedi saw Luke tempted by the dark side as he underwent his final trial to become a Jedi. Even so, Luke never had a compelling reason to join Palpatine until his friends' lives were on the line, but the prequels offer more parallels between Anakin and Luke. After watching Anakin's behavior in the previous films, it's much more troubling when Luke Force chokes a guard or tells someone not to underestimate his power.
