hayden christensen
at the end of the film, darth vader is redeemed by killing the emperor to save luke skywalker's life, then dies of his injuries shortly after, and appears to luke as anakin skywalker alongside the force ghosts of yoda and obi-wan kenobi. in the 1983 theatrical release, sebastian shaw plays this force ghost in addition to an unmasked vader. hayden christensen later played anakin in the prequel trilogy films "attack of the clones" and "revenge of the sith". to reflect this, the 2004 dvd release of "return of the jedi" replaced shaw's appearance as the force ghost with christensen, which was considered controversial by some.

anakin returns to the jedi temple on coruscant and informs jedi master yoda and windu of the harvester. windu then tells anakin and obi-wan of the dark reaper, an ancient sith weapon built during the great sith war that was so powerful that none could withstand it. it required large amounts of energy to operate, which the harvester could provide. windu then mentions that the reaper was destroyed by a fallen jedi knight named ulic qel-droma, and the remains of the sith weapon were scattered by the jedi across the galaxy. to learn more about the dark reaper, anakin and obi-wan lead republic forces to rhen var, qel-droma's final resting place, to retake the planet from the separatists. after a long battle, anakin is led to an ancient tomb, where he meets qel-droma as a force ghost, who agrees to teach anakin how to defeat the dark reaper and reveal the location of the sith weapon. qel-dromo at the same time warns anakin that this knowledge and power could lead him to the dark side. with the dark reaper located on the ancient sith-world thule, anakin, obi-wan, and windu lead republic forces to thule to prevent the sith weapon from being rebuilt.
