At the end of Return of the Jedi, Anakin's force ghost was originally an old dude, namely, actor Sebastian Shaw. But in editions released after the prequel trilogy, Anakin's force ghost is portrayed by very young actor Hayden Christianson. As with all things Star Wars, this gave birth to a never ending debate: should the force ghost had not been tampered with?
Points of view are usually split down generational lines. If you were a fan of the OT, you preferred it the way it was. If you were young when the prequels were hitting the screen, you don't mind the change.
I recently heard that George Lucas reason for this is because you could only be a force ghost if you were a Jedi, and young Anakin was a Jedi, whereas old Anakin was a sith, at least up until his dying breath.
