Return of the Jedi: How it Should Have Ended

All of the recent dvd/blue-ray releases of the Star Wars movies have have some annoying George Lucas changes.  The one that really irks me is the final scene of the original trilogy.  It's an iconic image in the series, the fallen jedi appear to Luke as ghosts/spirits/etc, approving of him and congratulating him on his victory.

They appear to Luke as they knew him.  Good, that makes sense.  

The Lucas change to Jedi, as it appears in the re-releases:

Wonderful.  I can just picture Lucas seeing this as a masterstroke to tie in all of the movies.

But let's think about this from Luke's perspective:

Luke: "Oh, hey.  I'm so glad my two teachers old Yoda and old Obi-Wan showed up.  It shows that they are always watching over me.  But wait... who's that random young guy?  I don't recognize him.  Is that like an alternate version of me as a Jedi knight or something?  Oh well, wish dad could have been here."

Never made sense to me story-wise.

This cartoon from the folks at How It Should Have Ended did a nice job illustrating this point, while making some other funny changes.


That "You killed all of us as children" line gets me every time.
