Addition of Jabba the Hutt and Boba Fett into Star Wars

[edit]

The original script of the Star Wars film included a scene between Jabba the Hutt and Han Solo, and the scene was filmed between Harrison

Hayden

[edit]

Some felt the change was a visual representation that Anakin through his redemptive act returned to the point when he belonged to the light side of the Force, before he turned to the dark side. It was also felt that Anakin died when he took the name Darth Vader, so it is expected he appear younger as a Force ghost. Others felt that the change undermined the redemptive nature of the act itself and ignores that he returns to the light side as an older man when he kills the Emperor.
